[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0025] 1. In this invention, the additive consists of additive powder and pretreated boron mud. After being refined, the additive powder particles can effectively fill the cement paste, thereby improving the initial density of the matrix. The pretreated boron mud, after being activated by soapberry powder solution, provides active chemical components that can participate in the reaction during cement hydration to generate more stable hydrated calcium silicate gel products, thereby strengthening the paste structure. Under the dual action of additive powder and pretreated boron mud, the overall density of concrete is significantly improved, thus enabling the concrete to exhibit stronger compressive strength when subjected to extremely high loads and extending the service life of the concrete.
[0026] 2. In this invention, the functional additive is composed of treated straw ash, bamboo fiber, triethanolamine, and silane coupling agent KH550. Triethanolamine can effectively promote the hydration reaction of aluminate cement and improve the generation rate and stability of hydration products. Silane coupling agent KH550 can improve the interfacial compatibility between the inorganic and organic phases, allowing the treated straw ash and bamboo fiber to bond more tightly with the cement matrix. Cellulose alkyl ether and nano silica can further fill the matrix. The straw ash with enhanced activity after the first treatment agent can undergo a secondary reaction with the cement hydration products. The bamboo fiber soaked in the second treatment agent forms a fiber reinforcement network in the matrix, effectively improving the concrete's resistance to bending deformation and fracture.
[0027] 3. In this invention, the additives and functional aids work together. The additive powder, after being refined by ball milling, can be embedded in the voids of the cement paste, optimizing the particle size distribution of the entire material. This makes the concrete more compact in the early stages of molding, reducing the original internal pores. The activated boron mud provides active chemical components and reacts with hydration products to generate more gel. The synergistic effect of the additives and functional aids significantly enhances the ability to resist freeze-thaw damage, making it more suitable for use in cold regions.

[0086] A method for preparing ultra-high performance UHPC concrete in high-altitude and cold regions, characterized by comprising the following steps:
[0087] Step 1: Add aluminate cement, additives, and quartz sand into a mixer and dry mix for 3 minutes at a speed of 40 r / min to obtain the first mixture;
[0088] Step 2: Add water and polycarboxylate superplasticizer to the first mixture, stir for 8 minutes at a speed of 50 r / min to obtain the second mixture;

[0090] Step 4: After pouring the concrete mixture into the mold, it is cured with high-temperature steam for 14 days to obtain ultra-high performance UHPC concrete for cold regions.
[0091] Comparative Example 1: The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that this comparative example does not contain any additives.
[0092] Comparative Example 2: The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that this comparative example does not contain functional additives.
[0093] Comparative Example 3 differs from Example 1 in that straw ash and bamboo fiber were not added during the preparation of the functional additives in this comparative example.
[0094] Performance testing: The concrete prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were subjected to performance tests, and the test data are recorded in the table below:
[0095] Table 1
[0096]
[0097] In the performance tests, the frost resistance test is conducted according to GB / T50082-2009, using the rapid freezing method. The relative dynamic elastic modulus of the concrete after freeze-thaw cycles is recorded as an evaluation index for frost resistance; the higher the value, the better the frost resistance. The compressive strength test is conducted according to GB / T50081-2019, testing the cubic compressive strength of the concrete after standard curing, reflecting the mechanical properties of the material. The higher the value, the stronger the compressive strength. The flexural strength test is conducted according to GB / T50081-2019, testing the flexural strength of the concrete, reflecting the material's crack resistance under temperature stress in cold regions. The higher the value, the stronger the crack resistance.
[0098] The additive is prepared by microwave pyrolysis of additive powder and pretreated boron mud. The cathode carbon blocks and silica fume in the additive powder are refined by ball milling and can form a micro-aggregate filling structure in the concrete matrix. After the pretreated boron mud is treated with soapberry powder, its active ingredients can react with cement hydration products to generate a stable hydration phase, which improves the density of the matrix. In Comparative Example 1, because it does not contain additives, the concrete lacks the filling effect of micro-aggregates and the reinforcing effect of hydration phase. During the freeze-thaw cycle, water can easily penetrate and generate freeze-thaw stress, resulting in a decrease in the relative dynamic elastic modulus. At the same time, the structural stability of cement hydration products is insufficient, and the compressive strength is greatly reduced due to the lack of support from the additives. The presence of additives optimizes the structure of the concrete matrix and makes the bond between the matrix and aggregates tighter.
[0099] The functional additives contain triethanolamine, which acts as a hydration accelerator, accelerating the early hydration of aluminate cement and rapidly forming a strength skeleton. Comparative Example 2, lacking functional additives, did not have triethanolamine to promote the hydration reaction of aluminate cement, resulting in a slower cement hydration rate and a loose structure of hydration products. Furthermore, the absence of straw ash and bamboo fiber acting on the cement matrix prevented the formation of a fiber-reinforced network and interface modification. Consequently, cracks in the concrete were prone to rapid development during freeze-thaw cycles, significantly reducing its frost resistance. Compressive and flexural strengths were also reduced due to the lack of multiple reinforcing effects. The combined effect of the functional additives achieved a synergistic effect of cement hydration promotion and fiber reinforcement, enhancing the frost resistance of ultra-high performance UHPC concrete in cold regions.
[0100] Straw ash and bamboo fiber are the core natural reinforcing components in the functional additives. After treatment with triethanolamine, the active sites on the surface of straw ash increase, allowing it to fully combine with cement hydration products. The resulting hydrated phase further enriches the matrix structure. After treatment with silane coupling agents and cellulose alkyl ethers, the surface hydrophilicity of bamboo fiber is improved, and its adhesion to the cement matrix is significantly enhanced. The three-dimensional fiber network formed in concrete can effectively bridge microcracks. When concrete is subjected to temperature stress or external forces, the fibers can absorb energy and prevent further crack propagation, achieving a toughening and strengthening effect. In Comparative Example 3, because the functional additives do not contain straw ash and bamboo fiber, the functional additives only retain the hydration promoting effect, losing the synergistic effect of straw ash activity enhancement and fiber toughening. The ability to inhibit internal cracks in concrete decreases, cracks are prone to develop during freeze-thaw cycles, and the freeze-thaw resistance is reduced. At the same time, the compressive and flexural strengths are significantly lower than those in the examples due to the lack of fiber support. The synergistic effect of straw ash and bamboo fiber plays a key role in improving the freeze-thaw resistance of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) in cold regions.
[0101] By comparing and analyzing the relevant data in the table, it can be seen that the concrete prepared by this invention not only has good frost resistance but also excellent compressive and flexural strength. This indicates that the ultra-high performance UHPC concrete for high-altitude and cold regions provided by this invention has a broader market prospect and is more suitable for widespread application.
