Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of engineering materials, in particular to a semi-flexible pavement grouting material and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a composite structure with both the bearing capacity of rigid pavement and the crack resistance of flexible pavement, the semi-flexible pavement is increasingly widely applied in heavy-load traffic, airport runway and other projects in recent years, and its core performance depends on the filling and reinforcement of the grouting material to the base and the interfacial adhesion. In the prior art, the semi-flexible pavement grouting material is mostly prepared based on ordinary Portland cement, fine sand, mineral admixtures and other components, which can meet the basic filling requirements, but has the following defects in complex working conditions: first, the water retention performance is weak, and the water is easily lost due to evaporation or siphonage of the base pores in the early stage of cement hydration, resulting in insufficient early hydration and thus reducing the early strength and prolonging the construction period; second, the late strength and stability are insufficient, the late cementitious activity of the single cement-based cementitious system is attenuated, and the aggregate gradation matching is poor, which easily causes volume shrinkage cracking, reduces the overall modulus of the base and shortens the service life of the pavement; third, the fatigue resistance is weak, and the internal micro-cracks of the material are easily expanded and penetrated to the asphalt surface layer under the repeated load of heavy vehicles, forming reflection cracks and accelerating the damage of the pavement structure. The above defects seriously restrict the popularization and application of the semi-flexible pavement in high-frequency heavy-load, dry-hot / large temperature difference and other environments. Therefore, developing a grouting material with early strength, excellent late strength and fatigue resistance has become a key technical bottleneck to improve the engineering quality of the semi-flexible pavement. SUMMARY
[0003] In view of this, the present application provides a semi-flexible pavement grouting material and a preparation method thereof.
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the technical scheme provided by the present application is as follows: The present application provides a semi-flexible pavement grouting material, which comprises the following raw material components in mass fraction: cement 50-60 parts, nano-calcium carbonate modified microbeads 15-20 parts, benzene-polypropylene emulsion modified calcined diatomite 10-15 parts, composite fine aggregate 15-20 parts, early strength agent 0.1-0.3 parts, water reducing agent 0.2-0.6 parts, water retaining agent 0.1-0.2 parts, defoaming agent 0.05-0.1 parts and water 20-30 parts. The composite fine aggregate comprises silica fume, calcined shell powder and coal gangue micro powder.
[0005] Compared to existing technologies, the semi-flexible pavement grout provided by this invention features microspheres modified with nano-calcium carbonate, resulting in increased surface roughness and specific surface area. This accelerates the hydration of the C3S phase to form CSH gel. Furthermore, the nano-calcium carbonate in the modified microspheres exhibits high reactivity, reacting with the aluminum phase components in cement to form ettringite, replenishing early expansion components, reducing shrinkage microcracks, and comprehensively improving the early and later strength of the grout. Silica fume further fills the surface micropores of the nano-calcium carbonate modified microspheres, strengthening the compactness of the grout structure and thus improving its early and later strength. The inventors have discovered that the nano-calcium carbonate modified microspheres can also reduce crystal defects in cement hydration products, thereby improving the crack resistance and toughness of the grout. Moreover, the nano-calcium carbonate modified microspheres possess a specific morphology that reduces interparticle friction, optimizes slurry flowability, and ensures more uniform dispersion of cement particles and more complete hydration reactions, thereby enhancing the early strength, later strength, stability, and fatigue resistance of the grout.
[0006] In styrene-acrylic emulsion-modified calcined diatomaceous earth, the calcined diatomaceous earth not only possesses a rich porous structure, but calcination also activates active sites on the diatomaceous earth surface, allowing it to fully participate in cement hydration. However, simply adding calcined diatomaceous earth may result in excessive water absorption due to its porous structure, thus affecting the bleeding rate and later strength of the concrete. Through extensive experimentation, the inventors discovered that when styrene-acrylic emulsion is further modified into calcined diatomaceous earth, the polymer film of the emulsion can seal some of the excessively water-absorbing micropores, reducing the bleeding rate of the later grouting material. The membrane can also form a hydrophobic barrier, reducing the rapid evaporation of water in the water-storing micropores of calcined diatomaceous earth, thereby improving the early and later strength of the grout. At the same time, the surface polymer membrane of styrene-acrylic emulsion modified calcined diatomaceous earth further improves the interfacial transition zone between components, reduces interfacial defects, and enhances the bond between cement and aggregate, thereby improving the strength of the grout. In addition, the styrene-acrylic emulsion polymer membrane in styrene-acrylic emulsion modified calcined diatomaceous earth has good flexibility, forming an elastic network inside the grout, thereby improving the stability and fatigue resistance of the grout.
[0007] The silica fume in the composite fine aggregate is rich in active silica, which further reacts with cement to form dense CSH gel, improving the later strength of the grout. The calcium oxide from calcined shell powder participates in the hydration reaction, accelerating the formation of ettringite and CSH gel, thereby improving the early strength of the grout. At the same time, its porous structure can also adsorb free water, helping to retain water and improving the later strength of the grout. Coal gangue powder reacts in an alkaline environment to form hydrated calcium aluminate, providing cementing substances and further improving the strength of the grout. In the composite fine aggregate provided by this invention, the three elements work synergistically to refine the pores inside the grout system, ensuring the hydration environment required for early strength, providing a continuous reaction source for later strength growth, and improving the stability and fatigue resistance of the grout.
[0008] Preferably, the preparation method of the nano-calcium carbonate modified microspheres includes the following steps: Step a: Add the microbeads to an ethanol-water solution to obtain a microbead dispersion; Step b: Disperse nano-calcium carbonate in an aqueous ethanol solution to obtain a nano-calcium carbonate dispersion. Step c: Add the silane coupling agent to the microbead dispersion, then add the nano-calcium carbonate dispersion for impregnation, perform solid-liquid separation, wash, and dry to obtain the nano-calcium carbonate modified microbeads.
[0009] In the preparation method of modified calcium carbonate nanospheres provided by this invention, an ethanol-water solution is used as the dispersion medium. This not only facilitates the stable dispersion of the nanospheres and the calcium carbonate nanospheres but also promotes the uniform grafting of silane coupling agents onto the surface of the nanospheres. This allows the calcium carbonate nanospheres to achieve directional coating through silane coupling agent bridging, improving coating uniformity and interfacial bonding. Furthermore, the preparation method provided by this invention is simple, efficient, and highly controllable. It also reduces reagent consumption and operational steps, lowers production costs, and the post-processing steps are simple and easy to perform, making it suitable for industrial-scale mass production.
[0010] It should be further noted that in step a, the microbeads also need to be pretreated in hydrochloric acid solution.
[0011] For example, the pretreatment specifically includes the following steps: adding microbeads to hydrochloric acid solution, stirring, filtering, washing until neutral, and drying.
[0012] Pretreatment of microspheres can also improve their stability in coating nano-calcium carbonate, thereby improving the performance of the grouting material.

[0014] For example, the stirring conditions are: stirring at a speed of 300~320 rpm for 30~35 minutes.

[0025] The preparation method of the styrene-acrylic emulsion modified calcined diatomaceous earth includes the following steps: S1. Calcine diatomaceous earth at 550~600℃ to obtain calcined diatomaceous earth; S2. Add the calcined diatomaceous earth and dispersant to water to obtain a calcined diatomaceous earth dispersion; S3. Add styrene-acrylic emulsion to water to obtain a diluted styrene-acrylic emulsion solution; S4. At 50~60℃, the diluted styrene-acrylic emulsion is added to the calcined diatomaceous earth dispersion, impregnated, filtered, washed, and dried to obtain the styrene-acrylic emulsion modified calcined diatomaceous earth.
[0026] In the preparation method of styrene-acrylic emulsion modified calcined diatomaceous earth provided by the present invention, calcination not only removes impurities such as organic matter from the diatomaceous earth, but also optimizes the porous structure of the diatomaceous earth and increases the active sites on the surface of the diatomaceous earth, providing a good foundation for subsequent modification; further, in S4, the styrene-acrylic emulsion dilution is added to the calcined diatomaceous earth dispersion for impregnation treatment, and the polymer in the styrene-acrylic emulsion is adsorbed onto the pores and surface of the diatomaceous earth to form a polymer film, thereby improving the performance of the grouting material.

[0029] Preferably, in S2, the ratio of calcined diatomaceous earth to water is 100g:(300~320)mL.
[0030] It should be further noted that in S2, when the calcined diatomaceous earth and dispersant are added to the water, they need to be stirred. The stirring speed can be 400~450 rpm, and the stirring time is not limited, until the calcined diatomaceous earth is dispersed.

[0040] Through extensive experiments, the inventors have demonstrated that when shell powder is calcined at a specific temperature, it forms a large number of microporous structures. On the one hand, these structures can absorb some of the moisture in the grout, thus playing a water-retaining role and reducing the amount of water-retaining agent required to a certain extent. On the other hand, the microporous structures can also be filled by other aggregates, reducing the porosity inside the grout and thereby improving the performance of the grouting material. In addition, experiments have shown that compared with the direct application of shell powder, the stability and fatigue resistance of the grouting material made from calcined shell powder are significantly improved.
[0041] When shell powder is calcined at a specific temperature, the calcium carbonate in it decomposes into calcium oxide, which rapidly hydrates in water to form calcium hydroxide, accelerating the formation of ettringite and CSH gel, thereby improving the early strength of the grout.

Its compressive strength at 2 hours reaches 21.9 MPa, and its compressive strength at 28 days reaches 53.6 MPa. Furthermore, the semi-flexible pavement grout provided in this embodiment of the invention has a Marshall stability of 21.6 kN and a dynamic stability ≥18000 cycles / mm, demonstrating excellent stability and fatigue resistance. In contrast, the semi-flexible pavement grouts prepared in Comparative Examples 1-3 of this invention show significantly lower compressive strength, stability, and fatigue resistance than the semi-flexible pavement grout prepared in Example 1. This invention optimizes the composition of each raw material in the semi-flexible pavement grout, resulting in a semi-flexible pavement grout with excellent compressive strength, stability, and fatigue resistance, providing a new approach to the preparation of semi-flexible pavement grouts.
