AI Technical Summary
Existing foamed lightweight concrete suffers from material performance degradation during long-distance pipeline transportation, making stable transportation difficult.
High-pressure hoses with a diameter of DN100mm-DN150mm are used, and a lubricating layer is formed by pre-wetting the inner wall of the pumping pipeline with a 0.05%-0.15% aqueous solution of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. The foamed lightweight concrete is transported by a hydraulic piston pump, and the pumping pressure is controlled at 10-15MPa and the flow rate is controlled at 1.5-2.0 m/s. The concrete is poured in sections, layers, and blocks, and galvanized steel wire mesh and moisture-retaining felt are installed in the poured concrete for curing.
It enables stable delivery of foamed lightweight concrete over long distances (≥500 meters), with a bubble survival rate of ≥90%, reduces pumping pressure by 20%-30%, increases construction efficiency by 40%, avoids pipe blockage, and improves construction efficiency and material stability.
