Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of concrete technology, and in particular to a low-shrinkage ultra-high-strength concrete and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the improvement of concrete materials in terms of strength, functionality, and durability has become a key requirement in the engineering field. Ultra-high strength concrete has the characteristics of high strength, excellent corrosion resistance and durability. It can reduce structural size, reduce structural weight, save land, reduce energy consumption, and reduce structural maintenance and reconstruction costs. Therefore, its preparation and application technology has become one of the key concrete technologies studied in the construction industry.
[0003] However, ultra-high strength concrete typically has characteristics such as high cementitious material content, low water-cement ratio, and large admixture dosage. Additionally, its high slurry viscosity makes pumping difficult. While existing ultra-high strength concrete can achieve high strength, it still faces pumping difficulties due to high viscosity and the risk of cracking caused by high shrinkage.
[0004] While traditional expansion agents can compensate for shrinkage, they suffer from drawbacks such as excessively rapid early expansion and insufficient compensation in later stages, making them difficult to match the hydration process of high-strength concrete. Traditional methods typically involve replacing part of the cement with mineral admixtures to reduce shrinkage, but excessive admixture dosage can sacrifice early strength. Therefore, how to synergistically improve low viscosity, low shrinkage, and crack resistance and durability while ensuring ultra-high strength has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a low-shrinkage ultra-high-strength concrete and its preparation method.

[0013] Preferably, the shrinkage reducing agent is a polyether-type shrinkage reducing agent.

[0015] Preferably, the composite fiber includes steel fiber, polypropylene fiber and alkali-resistant glass fiber, and the mass ratio of steel fiber, polypropylene fiber and alkali-resistant glass fiber is 1-2:1-4:1-2.
[0016] Preferably, the dispersant is a polycarboxylate dispersant.
[0017] Preferably, the composite aggregate is prepared by the following steps: water, nano-grade lightly calcined magnesium oxide, ultrafine calcium sulfoaluminate clinker, anhydrous gypsum, and dispersant are mixed evenly, activated porous basalt is added and ultrasonically treated for 10-20 minutes, vacuum impregnated for 20-40 minutes, and allowed to stand at normal pressure for 1-2 hours to remove the solvent. Then, a composite liquid containing tetraethyl orthosilicate is sprayed onto the surface of the resulting solid, and the solid is cured in a sealed state at a relative humidity ≥85% and a temperature of 35-45℃ for 12-24 hours, and then dried at 50-60℃ for 1-3 hours.
[0018] More preferably, the frequency of ultrasonic treatment is 30-50 kHz.
[0019] More preferably, the vacuum degree of vacuum impregnation is 0.02-0.04 MPa.
[0020] Preferably, the activated porous basalt is prepared as follows: porous basalt powder is soaked in a 3-5% (w / w) citric acid solution, activated at 50-60°C for 30-60 min, washed, and dried; then it is added to a 40-60% (w / w) ethanol aqueous solution, KH-570 silane coupling agent is added, the pH of the system is adjusted to 4-5, and stirred at 40-50°C for 1-2 h; subsequently, polyethylene glycol methacrylate, acrylic acid, and ammonium persulfate are added, and the grafting reaction is carried out at 70-80°C for 2-4 h. After the reaction is completed, the mixture is filtered, washed, and dried.
[0021] More preferably, the mass ratio of porous basalt powder, KH-570 silane coupling agent, polyethylene glycol methacrylate, acrylic acid, and ammonium persulfate is 10-30:1-2:8-12:3-6:0.1-0.3.
[0022] The preparation method of the above-mentioned low-shrinkage ultra-high-strength concrete includes the following steps: S1. Dry mix cement, fly ash, silica fume, and composite aggregate for 2-6 minutes. Add manufactured sand and crushed stone and continue dry mixing for 1-3 minutes. Add water, polycarboxylate superplasticizer, and shrinkage reducer and stir for 3-5 minutes. Then add super absorbent resin and water and continue stirring for 2-4 minutes to obtain the precast material. S2. Add composite fiber to the precast material and stir for 1-3 minutes until evenly dispersed. After casting and molding, cover with film to retain moisture, demold, and cure.

[0025] Preferably, in S2, the curing time is 28 days.
[0026] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention has the following advantages: This invention uses activated porous basalt as a carrier. After acid activation, silane modification, and polyether segment grafting, its surface exhibits good dispersibility and interfacial compatibility. It can not only act as a micro-skeleton filler and lubricant in the cementitious system, reducing the frictional resistance in the slurry and improving the fluidity and pumpability of ultra-high strength concrete, but its pore structure can also support nano-sized lightly calcined magnesium oxide, ultrafine calcium sulfoaluminate clinker, and anhydrous gypsum. The activated porous basalt after loading is then cured with tetraethyl orthosilicate to form a surface coating layer, effectively avoiding the problems of excessively rapid early expansion and insufficient compensation in the later stage of traditional expansion agents, making the shrinkage compensation process more compatible with the hydration and hardening process of ultra-high strength concrete.
[0027] This invention utilizes a phased mixing process involving cement, fly ash, silica fume, composite aggregate, manufactured sand, crushed stone, water-reducing agent, shrinkage-reducing agent, and superabsorbent resin. This process ensures that the composite aggregate is evenly distributed between the cementitious material and the aggregate interface, forming a stable micro-filling and interface-controlled structure. The superabsorbent resin absorbs and stores water during the mixing stage and releases internal curing water during the hardening process. This alleviates the self-drying of the low water-cement ratio system and further activates the expansion components within the pores of the composite aggregate, achieving a synergistic effect of internal curing and delayed shrinkage compensation.
[0028] This invention does not rely solely on increasing the amount of mineral admixtures to reduce shrinkage. While ensuring ultra-high strength, it also enables concrete to have good pumpability, low shrinkage tendency, and excellent crack resistance and durability. Moreover, the preparation method is simple and suitable for large-scale promotion and use. Attached Figure Description

Add composite fibers to the precast material and stir at 80r / min for 2min until evenly dispersed. After casting and molding, cover with film to keep moist. Demold after 24h and cure for 28 days in an environment with a temperature of 25℃ and a relative humidity of not less than 95%.
[0072] The slump spread of the ultra-high strength concrete obtained in Example 5 and Comparative Examples 1-2 was determined with reference to GB / T 50080-2016 "Standard for Test Methods of Performance of Ordinary Concrete Mixtures".
[0073] The 28-day compressive strength, 28-day splitting tensile strength, and 28-day modulus of elasticity of the ultra-high strength concrete obtained in Example 5 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were determined with reference to GB / T 50081-2019 "Standard for Test Methods of Physical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete".
[0074] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the ultra-high strength concrete obtained in Example 5 has the highest slump expansion, 28-day compressive strength, 28-day splitting tensile strength, and 28-day modulus of elasticity, which are significantly better than the comparative example.
[0075] The 28-day autogenous shrinkage and 90-day drying shrinkage of the ultra-high strength concrete obtained in Example 5 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were measured in accordance with GB / T 50082-2009 "Standard for Test Methods of Long-term Performance and Durability of Ordinary Concrete".
