Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to construction quality testing technology for concrete materials, and in particular to a method and system for characterizing the bleeding of fresh cement paste. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component of modern construction engineering, the performance of cementitious materials directly determines the durability and safety of the engineering structure. However, in the early stages of construction, the bleeding phenomenon commonly found in fresh cement paste often becomes a key factor affecting the uniformity and mechanical properties of the material. Bleeding is defined as the process by which solid particles in the cementitious material settle downwards, while free water migrates to the surface, forming a free water layer. It is mainly affected by the composition and proportion of the cementitious material. Bleeding not only affects the rheological properties of fresh cement paste during construction but also leads to uneven distribution of its components, thereby increasing the porosity of the concrete structure surface and reducing its strength and wear resistance.
[0003] To accurately characterize the bleeding process of fresh cement paste and mitigate its adverse effects, researchers developed a mathematical model based on the self-weight consolidation theory commonly used in soil mechanics. However, existing experimental results indicate that applying the homogeneous consolidation theory is insufficient to characterize the bleeding process of fresh cement paste. Temperature variations, cement hydration processes, and particle rearrangement lead to significant heterogeneity in the bleeding process, resulting in a pronounced time-dependent characteristic of the cement paste's bleeding process.
[0004] Currently, the bleeding process of cement slurry has become a key concern in engineering construction. While some devices have been developed to measure cement slurry bleeding, they cannot effectively characterize the bleeding process or predict it based on existing data. Summary of the Invention
