Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building materials technology, and in particular to a composite modified air-entraining agent and a highly frost-resistant roller-compacted concrete suitable for low-pressure, large-temperature-difference environments, as well as its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) is a dry-hardened concrete constructed using vibratory compaction. It is widely used in large-volume concrete projects such as dams, roads, and airports. Its characteristics include low cement usage, high admixture content, low heat of hydration, and fast construction speed. However, in the unique environment of high-altitude regions, engineering structures often face multiple coupled effects, including low air pressure, drastic diurnal temperature variations, and frequent freeze-thaw cycles. This places extremely high demands on the durability of RCC, especially its frost resistance.

[0003] In low-pressure environments, the reduced atmospheric pressure causes dissolved air within the concrete mix to precipitate more easily. Simultaneously, the reduced external pressure on introduced air bubbles leads to a significant decrease in the stability of bubbles introduced by traditional air-entraining agents. These bubbles are prone to coalescing, coarsening, or bursting, resulting in rapid loss of air content in the concrete and making it difficult to form a stable, uniform, and closed microbubble system. Furthermore, drastic temperature differences not only exacerbate the freeze-thaw cycle stress of pore water within the concrete but also cause thermal expansion and contraction of the material itself, damaging the pore structure. These factors combined result in accelerated deterioration of the internal pore structure of roller-compacted concrete during service, leading to severely insufficient freeze-thaw resistance and making it highly susceptible to surface spalling, internal damage, and even structural failure.

[0004] Currently, techniques such as adding air-entraining agents, selecting superior raw materials, and optimizing mix proportions are commonly used to address the freeze-thaw resistance of concrete in high-altitude areas. Commonly used air-entraining agents, such as rosin and saponins, can introduce a certain amount of air bubbles under normal pressure, but their foam-stabilizing ability is limited under low pressure. The introduced bubble structure is often not fine or uniform enough, with a relatively large pore size distribution and a high proportion of harmful and multi-harmful pores, making it difficult to effectively block the penetration and migration of frost-swelling water. Furthermore, existing technologies for quality control of cement, admixtures, aggregates, and mixing water mainly focus on conventional strength and workability indicators, paying insufficient attention to the synergistic effect of these components with air-entraining agents under extreme conditions of low pressure and large temperature differences, and to the refined control of the final pore structure system. Simultaneously, improper selection of compaction process parameters (such as compaction thickness, number of passes, and speed) can easily lead to damage to the microbubble structure during compaction, resulting in air content loss and affecting the freeze-thaw resistance and durability of roller-compacted concrete. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a high-frost-resistant roller-compacted concrete that can adapt to harsh environments with low air pressure and large temperature differences, and has excellent bubble stability and pore structure, along with corresponding material control technology and preparation process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a composite modified air-entraining agent and a high-freeze-resistant roller-compacted concrete suitable for low-pressure and large-temperature-difference environments, as well as a method for preparing the same, in order to solve the problems of difficulty in air entrainment, large air content loss, and insufficient freeze-thaw resistance of roller-compacted concrete in high-altitude environments in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] This invention provides a composite modified air-entraining agent, prepared from raw materials comprising the following parts by mass:

[0009] This invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned composite modified air-entraining agent, comprising the following steps:

[0010] S1. Mix gelatin powder with some deionized water, let it stand to allow it to swell fully, then stir it in a water bath until it is completely dissolved, and cool it to obtain a gelatin solution.

[0011] S2. Mix hydroxypropyl methylcellulose powder with deionized water at 80-90°C until homogeneous, then add deionized water at 20-30°C during stirring to completely hydrate and dissolve it, thus obtaining a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose solution.

[0012] S3. Mix sodium rosinate air-entraining agent with deionized water until uniform, heat and then add triterpenoid saponin air-entraining agent, stir until completely dissolved to obtain a composite air-entraining agent solution.

[0013] S4. After diluting sodium hydroxide with deionized water, slowly add it dropwise to the composite air-entraining agent solution prepared in S3. After adjusting the pH value, add gelatin solution, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose solution, methylisothiazolinone and the remaining deionized water in sequence. Stir continuously for 30-60 minutes to mix evenly. After standing and aging, filter to obtain the composite modified air-entraining agent.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S1, the temperature of the water bath is 50~60°C;

[0015] In step S3, the heating temperature is 40~50°C.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S4, the pH is adjusted to 8-10, and the maturation time is 12-24 hours.

[0017] This invention also provides a highly frost-resistant roller-compacted concrete suitable for low-pressure, large-temperature-difference environments, prepared from raw materials comprising the following parts by weight:

[0018] 60-76 parts cement;

[0019] 85-119 parts of fly ash;

[0020] 720-736 parts of sand;

[0021] 1420-1426 portions of pebbles;

[0022] 0.02~0.08 parts of composite modified air-entraining agent;

[0023] 0.5-0.7 parts of naphthalene-based high-efficiency water-reducing agent;

[0024] 80-96 parts water.

[0025] Furthermore, the cement is low-heat silicate cement with a loss on ignition in the range of 0.5% ± 0.1%; the fly ash is Grade I fly ash with a loss on ignition in the range of 1.5% ± 0.3%.

[0026] Furthermore, the sand is artificial sand with a fineness modulus of 2.6 to 2.8 and a micro powder content controlled at 5% to 6%.

[0027] Cl in the water - SO4 2- Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ The content requirements are not to exceed 30 mg / L, 25 mg / L, 40 mg / L and 10 mg / L respectively.

[0028] Furthermore, the stones are three-graded artificial aggregates, and the combination of the three-graded artificial aggregates is based on a volume ratio of large stones: medium stones: small stones of 20~40:30~50:20~40; the particle size of the large stones is 40mm~80mm, the particle size of the medium stones is 20mm~40mm, and the particle size of the small stones is 5mm~20mm.

[0029] This invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned high frost-resistant roller-compacted concrete suitable for low-pressure, large-temperature-difference environments, comprising the following steps:

[0030] 1) Dilute the composite modified air-entraining agent and the naphthalene-based high-efficiency water-reducing agent separately with a portion of water;

[0031] 2) Mix cement, fly ash, sand, gravel and remaining water evenly. During the mixing process, add composite modified air-entraining agent dilution and naphthalene-based high-efficiency water-reducing agent dilution at a uniform speed. Then mix evenly with a forced mixer and compact using a specific rolling process to obtain high frost-resistant roller-compacted concrete suitable for low-pressure and large-temperature-difference environments.

[0032] Furthermore, the parameters of the specific compaction process are as follows: compaction thickness 20~40cm, number of compaction passes: 2 static compaction passes plus 6 vibratory compaction passes plus 2 static compaction passes, and compaction speed 1~3km / h.

[0033] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0034] (1) The core of this invention lies in the use of a specially formulated composite modified air-entraining agent. This air-entraining agent achieves a balance between efficient air entrainment and the generation of fine, uniform microbubbles through the synergistic effect of sodium rosinate and triterpenoid saponins. At the same time, gelatin and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) are innovatively introduced as a composite foam-stabilizing system, which greatly enhances the mechanical strength and stability of the bubble liquid film and effectively resists the problems of bubble rupture and rapid loss of air content caused by low air pressure and drastic temperature differences in high-altitude areas. Meanwhile, an optimized pore structure is formed in the concrete, mainly composed of "harmless pores" and "less harmful pores" with a significant reduction in harmful pores, thereby ensuring the high frost resistance of roller-compacted concrete.

[0035] (2) This invention strictly controls the quality of raw materials, including low-heat silicate cement with a loss on ignition within the range of 0.5% ± 0.1%, Grade I fly ash with a loss on ignition within the range of 1.5% ± 0.3%, and artificial sand with a fine powder content of 5% to 6%, to reduce their adsorption on the composite modified air-entraining agent and ensure that the composite modified air-entraining agent plays a full role in the concrete system. At the same time, the ion content in the mixing water is limited, Cl... - SO4 2- Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ The content of each component shall not exceed 30 mg / L, 25 mg / L, 40 mg / L and 10 mg / L respectively, so as to reduce the influence of water quality on the effect of composite modified air-entraining agent, thereby further improving the air-entraining capacity of composite modified air-entraining agent and improving the freeze-thaw resistance of roller-compacted concrete in low air pressure and large temperature difference environment.

[0036] (3) This invention details the preparation method of the composite modified air-entraining agent and concrete. By employing key steps such as step-by-step preparation of the air-entraining agent components, precise pH control, and static curing, the stability of the composite modified air-entraining agent's performance is ensured. During concrete mixing, the admixture is pre-diluted and then added at a uniform rate to ensure uniform dispersion in the system and avoid clumping or localized failure. Furthermore, the compaction process of roller-compacted concrete is optimized, employing a specific compaction technique to ensure sufficient compaction of the concrete while avoiding over-vibration that could lead to air content loss.
