Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of tunnel secondary lining concrete grouting materials, specifically relating to a tunnel secondary lining grouting agent and its application in preparing grouting slurry. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, tunnels are widely used in railway engineering. During the construction of the secondary lining concrete after tunnel excavation, the construction of the arch concrete can easily cause voids behind the secondary lining concrete and gaps between it and the tunnel perimeter. Existing technology uses grouting material to form slurry for secondary lining grouting, and the grouting effect can meet the current technical requirements. However, grouting materials are mostly processed and produced by fixed factories, which leads to problems such as large transportation volume, high cost, and poor effect at the construction site. In some projects with poor transportation conditions and some projects with special circumstances such as overseas construction, the existing grouting materials cannot meet the requirements for transportation and storage. There is a need for a new material and preparation method that can meet the construction needs through on-site operation with a small dosage to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a tunnel secondary lining grouting agent and its application in preparing grouting slurry, so as to solve the problem of tunnel secondary lining concrete voids being filled by preparing a new material with on-site cement to meet construction needs.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A tunnel secondary lining grouting agent, characterized in that it comprises the following components by mass fraction: 10-12 parts manufactured sand, 5-8 parts fly ash, 10-15 parts nanospheres, 0.19-0.25 parts polycarboxylate superplasticizer, 0.031-0.038 parts defoamer, 0.031-0.040 parts expanding agent, 0.040-0.045 parts rheology modifier, and 0.010-0.018 parts boric acid.
[0005] Furthermore, a tunnel secondary lining grouting agent is characterized by comprising the following components by mass fraction: 10 parts manufactured sand, 10 parts nano-microspheres, 5 parts fly ash, 0.24 parts polycarboxylate superplasticizer, 0.031 parts defoamer, 0.031 parts expansion agent, 0.040 parts rheology modifier, and 0.010 parts boric acid.
[0006] The defoamer is composed of silica and polypropylene glycol monobutyl ether in a mass ratio of 35-40:60-65.
[0007] The expanding agent is composed of heavy calcium carbonate powder and casein in a mass ratio of 15-20:75-80.
[0008] The rheology modifier is composed of heavy calcium carbonate powder and polysaccharide polymer in a mass ratio of 5-20:80-95.
[0009] The nanospheres are composed of silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, etc., with silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide accounting for more than 70% of the main components.
[0010] The cement is a low-alkali ordinary Portland cement with an alkali content of <0.06, and the amount of cement used is 75 parts.
[0011] The parent rock of the manufactured sand is limestone, with a sub-Glycol value of no more than 1.2 and a fineness of 40-70 mesh.
[0012] The fly ash mentioned is Grade I fly ash with a fineness of ≤12% residue on a 45µm sieve, a water requirement ratio of ≤95%, a loss on ignition of ≤5%, and a 28-day activity index of ≥95%.
[0013] An application of a tunnel secondary lining grouting agent for preparing grout, characterized by comprising the following steps: Step 1: Preparation. Two hours after the completion of the tunnel secondary lining concrete construction, preparations for grouting are carried out, including installing the grouting machine and connecting the grouting pipeline, and setting up a work area and warning area around the site. Step 2: Grout preparation. First, run the entire process with clean water. After the grouting pressure reaches the point where the pipeline and connections are properly sealed, drain the water. After setting the raw material ratio on the grouting machine, add cement to bin 1 of the feeding area and grouting agent to bin 2 of the feeding area. Fill the water tank of the grouting machine with water to prepare for grout preparation. Step 3: Grout mixing. First, add 80%~90% water and start the mixer. The mixing speed should not be less than 50 r / min. While mixing, add 50% cement and 100% grouting agent. After mixing for 1 minute, slowly add the remaining 10%~20% water and 50% cement. After all the powder is added to the mixing bucket, mix for 3 minutes. After the initial fluidity is tested and found to be qualified, the mixture is passed through a 3mm*3mm filter screen and flows into the storage tank. Continue mixing at a speed of not less than 50 r / min. Step 4, Grouting. Connect the grouting pipe to the first grouting hole and start grouting. While grouting, continue mixing the grout as in Step 3. When a continuous and stable grout flows out of the second grouting hole, install the grouting pipe of the grouting machine into the second grouting hole for grouting. When a continuous and stable grout flows out of the third grouting hole, close the third grouting hole and continue grouting. After the grout flows out of the end mold of the grouting trolley, stop grouting. Step 5: After 10-15 minutes of grouting, perform a second grouting. Stop grouting once no grout flows out. Step 6: After demolding, use radar to scan and detect any voids. If any voids are found, perform secondary drilling and grouting.
[0014] The grouting agent is produced by a forced horizontal mixer with automatic metering. The mixing time for the grouting agent is no less than 25 minutes. The grouting machine is a screw grouting machine, and the mixing time for the grout is no less than 4 minutes.
[0015] The grouting agent is prepared by mixing the raw materials according to their proportions and ratios. After passing the trial mixing and testing with cement, it is placed in a qualified area for use. On-site mixing involves sequentially adding water (100%), cement (50%), grouting agent (100%), and cement (50%), with a water-to-material ratio of 0.18-0.20. The on-site mixing equipment is a high-speed mortar mixer with a speed of not less than 500 rpm, and the grouting machine pressure is not less than 10 MPa, with an accuracy of not less than 0.2 MPa.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: The tunnel secondary lining grouting agent and grout preparation method provided by this invention are prepared using manufactured sand, fly ash, nanospheres, polycarboxylate superplasticizer, defoamer, expanding agent, rheology modifier, and boric acid as main raw materials. On-site, the grouting agent, silicate cement, and water are mixed in proportion and sequence using a tunnel secondary lining grouting machine to form a grout for formwork injection into the tunnel secondary lining concrete. The grouting material prepared by this invention improves the flowability, water retention, flexural strength, and compressive strength of the tunnel secondary lining concrete, contributing to the overall performance improvement of tunnel grouting materials. This invention optimizes the original factory-processed grouting material by directly adding water and mixing on-site. Instead, the grouting agent is transported to the site, and then cement and water are mixed using a grouting machine to form a grout. This achieves formwork injection, reduces the problem of voids in the secondary lining concrete, improves efficiency, reduces the difficulties of transporting large quantities of grouting material and the quality problems of moisture absorption and caking, and significantly reduces material costs, demonstrating significant effectiveness.
