[0002] With the continuous expansion of my country's construction industry, it has become a key area of ​​energy consumption and carbon emissions. The production and use of concrete materials contribute significantly to carbon emissions throughout the building lifecycle. In recent years, modular construction, as an important technological approach for green and low-carbon transformation in the construction sector, can effectively reduce energy consumption and material waste on construction sites through factory prefabrication, standardized production, and efficient construction, providing a new solution for achieving the carbon reduction goals of the construction industry.

[0003] Traditional concrete, as a core structural material, has a carbon emission intensity as high as 0.9 kg CO2 / kg of cement. my country's annual cement production accounts for approximately 50% of the global total, resulting in annual carbon emissions exceeding 1.5 billion tons from the construction industry. Current concrete preparation technologies use silicate cement as a binder, and the calcination process of cement clinker generates significant process carbon emissions. Simultaneously, the high price of cement leads to high production costs, resulting in substantial cement consumption and carbon emissions. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Preferably, the water-reducing agent is a polycarboxylate-based water-reducing agent.

[0014] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for preparing concrete for modular buildings, comprising the following steps: S1. Preparation of rice husk-derived bio-nanofibers: Rice husks were oxidized with TEMPO to obtain rice husk-derived bio-nanofibers. S2. Dry mixing: After the recycled coarse aggregate is put into the mixing equipment and mixed, cement, slag powder, fly ash, rice husk ash and recycled fine aggregate are added in sequence to dry mix and obtain dry mix. S3, Preparation of mixing water: Isopropylacrylamide-polyethylene glycol copolymer, water-reducing agent and rice husk-derived bio-nanofibers from S1 are mixed with water to prepare mixing water; S4.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the stirring temperature in steps S3 and S4 is below 25°C.

[0017] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention provide the application of concrete in the preparation of modular building components.

[0018] (III) Beneficial Effects The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention provides a type of concrete for modular construction. By partially replacing cement with a high proportion of industrial byproducts such as slag powder and fly ash, as well as agricultural waste such as rice husk ash, and optimizing the overall mix proportions, a high-performance, low-carbon concrete is constructed. The efficient utilization of slag powder, fly ash, and rice husk ash significantly reduces cement usage. The implicit carbon emissions and production costs of these admixtures are far lower than those of cement, thus significantly reducing carbon emissions and raw material costs per unit volume of concrete, making it green, environmentally friendly, and low-cost. Simultaneously, the addition of slag powder and other admixtures effectively optimizes the rheological properties of concrete, reduces yield stress, improves workability, and reduces bleeding and segregation, thereby obtaining concrete with stable performance that is easy to pump and pour. Through the synergistic effect of the components, the necessary early and long-term strength of the concrete is guaranteed, effectively overcoming the problems of heavy pollution, high carbon emissions, concentrated heat of hydration, and easy shrinkage cracking inherent in traditional high-cement-content concrete. It is particularly suitable for the comprehensive requirements of modular construction regarding material performance, construction efficiency, and sustainability.

[0019] Among them, isopropylacrylamide-polyethylene glycol copolymer, as a temperature-sensitive smart component, can maintain good workability when stirred at room temperature, and the concrete maintains optimal construction performance at ambient temperatures of 10-40℃. Through natural temperature difference or active temperature control, the copolymer's setting-promoting effect can be triggered after pouring, thereby significantly shortening the time required for concrete demolding, thus improving the mold turnover rate and increasing the efficiency of the modular precast production line.

[0020] Rice husk-derived bio-nanofibers form a three-dimensional network reinforcement in a cement matrix, effectively bridging microcracks, preventing their propagation, and significantly improving the material's crack resistance, impact toughness, and fracture energy. Furthermore, rice husk-derived bio-nanofibers are homologous to rice husk ash, resulting in good synergy within the material system.

[0021] By using high-strength Grade 52.5 cement, a strong and rapid initial hydration driving force is provided for the entire cementitious system, ensuring that the concrete achieves high early strength. The high specific surface area of ​​slag powder enables its rapid reaction speed, and the high calcium aluminosilicate content in slag powder allows it to work synergistically with cement, ensuring continuous and stable strength development from early to late stages.

[0022] Ultrafine fly ash effectively lubricates particles, reduces internal friction, and significantly improves the fluidity of concrete, making it more suitable for pumping and pouring. Simultaneously, the ultrafine particles efficiently fill the micro-voids between cement and slag powder. Rice husk ash, primarily composed of highly active amorphous silica, has an extremely fine particle size that further fills the smallest pores not yet filled by the ultrafine fly ash. The gradient composite filling effect of fly ash and rice husk ash, combined with chemical activity, greatly enhances the density of concrete.

[0023] Both coarse and fine aggregates are recycled aggregates, replacing natural aggregates in existing technologies, significantly reducing the mining of natural sand and gravel, and protecting the natural environment and river ecosystem. Precise control of the recycled aggregate particle size ensures good continuous gradation. This forms a dense skeletal structure, effectively compensating for any potential strength deficiencies in the recycled aggregate itself, and guaranteeing excellent workability of the concrete.

[0024] Because recycled aggregates have rough surfaces, many pores, and high water absorption, limiting the proportion of water-reducing agent to ≤2.27% can meet the higher water demand of recycled aggregates while fully dispersing the cementitious materials, so that the concrete can obtain the required fluidity and cohesiveness.

[0025] By precisely dividing and blending recycled coarse aggregates into two grades, the skeleton structure of concrete is optimized, resulting in less frictional resistance between aggregate particles during mixing and pumping of fresh concrete. This effectively improves workability and fluidity, making it more suitable for the industrial production of precast components.

[0026] This invention also provides a method for preparing concrete, directly converting agricultural waste rice husks into high-performance nanofibers, achieving internal circulation of raw material systems and reducing dependence on and costs associated with purchased materials. By employing a process of adding granules first, then powders, and then drying before wetting, with water added in stages, the problem of uneven mixing caused by differences in material density and particle size is solved. Adding water and water-reducing agents in stages prevents the water-reducing agent from being locally adsorbed and becoming ineffective, and allows for more precise control of the water-cement ratio and the rheological state of the concrete, effectively preventing clumping.

[0027] The concrete of this invention can be used in modular building components, such as wall components, floor slab components, beam-column joint components, etc. Attached Figure Description

[0054] The density, maximum bearing capacity and compressive strength of the prepared concrete were tested, and the test results are detailed in Table 1.

[0055] Table 1 Performance indicators of concrete prepared in different embodiments and comparative examples

[0056] Based on the performance test results in Table 1, the following analytical conclusions can be drawn: Examples 2 and 3 are preferred embodiments. The concrete prepared from solid waste materials for modular construction has a 28-day compressive strength of over 76 MPa and a 28-day maximum bearing capacity of 740 kg / m³. 3The carbon emissions per cubic meter of concrete are below 263 kg CO2e. This ensures continuous and stable growth in strength over time, and its final load-bearing capacity fully meets the structural safety requirements of high-rise modular buildings, while also reducing carbon emissions.

[0057] Compared to Comparative Examples 1-3, the concrete prepared for modular buildings in all embodiments also showed significantly improved overall performance.

[0058] Comparing Examples 2-5 with Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that, with similar recycled aggregate content, the embodiments of the present invention have advantages in workability and strength, overcome the performance degradation problem caused by the inherent defects of recycled aggregate, provide a high-performance solution for the resource utilization of construction waste, and achieve a unity of environmental protection and high performance.

[0059] Comparing Example 2 with Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that, with the same total amount of cementitious materials, the present invention achieves higher later-stage strength by introducing slag powder, fly ash, and rice husk ash, while significantly reducing the amount of cement used alone. This not only directly reduces material costs but also reduces the high carbon emissions from cement production at the source.

[0060] Comparing Example 2 and Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that removing rice husk-derived bio-nanofibers directly leads to a decrease in 28-day compressive strength and load-bearing capacity. As a microscopic reinforcing agent, bio-nanofibers play a bridging and crack-preventing role in the hardening process of concrete. Their three-dimensional network structure effectively transfers and disperses the load, enhancing the toughness and final load-bearing capacity of the matrix.

[0061] In summary, the test data demonstrates that the concrete mix design and preparation method provided by this invention, through the synergistic optimization of active admixtures and recycled aggregates, successfully produces a concrete material that combines high early strength, high final strength, excellent workability, and significant environmental benefits. Its overall technical performance far surpasses that of traditional formulations, making it particularly suitable for modular construction applications with stringent requirements for material performance, construction efficiency, and environmental friendliness. This technology efficiently utilizes industrial solid waste, enhances the green sustainability of modular buildings, and effectively overcomes the problems of high cement consumption, heavy pollution, high carbon emissions, and high costs associated with traditional concrete technologies.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
