Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to an admixture for hydraulic compositions and hydraulic compositions. [Background technology]
[0002] Centrifugal molding is a known method for manufacturing hollow cylindrical concrete molded products such as pipes, piles, and poles. In this method, mixed concrete material is poured into a mold, and the mold is rotated at high speed. The resulting centrifugal force compacts the concrete against the inner surface of the mold. Molded products manufactured by these methods are supported by the hard ground underground and play an important role in supporting buildings.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-75840 [Patent Document 2] Special Publication No. 2017-502140 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2019-112251 [Patent Document 4] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2018-48068 [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0005] In recent years, there has been a trend towards increasing the strength of concrete piles due to the increasing height of buildings and the need for higher bearing capacity to shorten construction periods. To improve the strength of concrete, it is effective to reduce the ratio of water to hydraulic powder (water / hydraulic powder), but this results in a longer mixing time to obtain the required fluidity, so there is a demand for shortening the mixing time. To shorten the mixing time, it is effective to increase the amount of cement dispersant added to the aqueous composition, but this results in increased fluidity during centrifugal molding, causing slag and honeycombing, and resulting in an uneven distribution of materials such as cement, water, and aggregate. In addition, the compressive strength of the centrifugal-molded concrete fluctuates, and the smoothness of the inner surface of the pile may decrease due to the slag, which can result in resistance when installing it in the ground and reduce workability. Therefore, the inventors have found that it is necessary to investigate means that can shorten the mixing time without changing the fluidity of fresh concrete during centrifugal molding.
[0006] The present invention provides an admixture for hydraulic compositions that enables a reduction in the mixing time required to obtain a predetermined fluidity of the hydraulic composition, and a hydraulic composition that enables a reduction in the mixing time required to obtain a predetermined fluidity. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] The present invention relates to an admixture for hydraulic compositions containing the following components (A) and (B). (A) Component: A formaldehyde condensation polymer comprising a monomer unit (a1) having a polyalkylene oxy group on the aromatic ring, a monomer unit (a2) having a carboxylic acid group and / or a salt thereof on the aromatic ring, or a monomer unit (a3) having a phosphate group and / or a salt thereof on the aromatic ring. (B) Components: One or more selected from the following components (B1) and (B2). (B1) Components: One or more selected from alkyl or alkenyl sulfates, polyoxyalkylene alkyl or alkenyl ether sulfates, and salts thereof. (B2) Ingredients: Rosin acid and / or its salt
[0008] The present invention also relates to a hydraulic composition containing component (A), component (B), hydraulic powder, and water. [Effects of the Invention]
[0009] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an admixture for hydraulic compositions that enables a reduction in the mixing time required to obtain a predetermined fluidity of the hydraulic composition, and a hydraulic composition that enables a reduction in the mixing time required to obtain a predetermined fluidity.
[0010] The hydraulic composition admixture and hydraulic composition of the present invention allow for a reduction in mixing time (for example, from 6 minutes to 3 minutes), and exhibit excellent fluidity even with a reduced mixing time. This reduces the time required for mixing and molding, thereby improving productivity. Furthermore, after a certain period of time has elapsed since mixing, the hydraulic composition admixture and hydraulic composition of the present invention exhibit no change in fluidity compared to a hydraulic composition that does not contain the hydraulic composition admixture of the present invention. For example, during centrifugal molding after molding the hydraulic composition of the present invention into a mold, no slag is generated, and a hydraulic composition hardened body with a good finish can be obtained. Moreover, because the hydraulic composition admixture of the present invention exhibits excellent fluidity even with a reduced mixing time, a hydraulic composition hardened body with a good finish can be obtained without the occurrence of unfilled areas (honeycombs) in the hardened body molded by centrifugal force. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0011] The reason why the admixture for hydraulic compositions and hydraulic compositions of the present invention enable a reduction in mixing time is not entirely clear, but we surmise the following. When water is added to a hydraulic powder, the hydraulic powder forms secondary particles while retaining water internally. However, the presence of component (A) causes these secondary particles to become primary particles, releasing the internal water from the system, thus kneading the hydraulic composition and achieving a certain degree of fluidity. However, in the case of hydraulic compositions with a small water / hydraulic powder ratio, the initial unit amount of water is small, so it takes time for the internal water to be released from the system. Therefore, it is important to promote the spread of water on the surface of the secondary particles, and as a result, it is expected that the kneading time can be shortened. We believe that specific surfactants and resins of component (B) are effective in promoting the spread of water on the surface of secondary particles. This is because when component (B) dissolves in water at the solid-liquid interface, the surface tension of water and the interfacial tension of the solid-liquid decrease, promoting the wetting of the liquid on the solid surface. Therefore, in this invention, by using component (B) and component (A) in combination, component (B) promotes wetting on the surface of secondary particles, making it easier for water to spread. As a result, the adsorption rate of component (A) contained in water to the surface of secondary particles improves, and it is thought that the mixing time of the hydraulic composition can be shortened. However, the present invention is not limited to the estimation mechanism described above.

[0059] Note that component (C) is a copolymer only and may be added directly to the admixture for aqueous compositions of the present invention, or it may be added together with a suitable solvent (or dispersion medium). Water is preferred as the solvent (or dispersion medium), and it is preferable for convenience to add component (C) together with water to the admixture for hydraulic compositions of the present invention. When adding as an aqueous solution (or aqueous dispersion), it is necessary to add these amounts of water to the water essential for the admixture for aqueous compositions of the present invention, but this can be ignored if the concentration of the aqueous solution (or aqueous dispersion) is high or the amount added is small.
[0060] In the present invention, when the admixture for hydraulic compositions contains component (C), the content of component (C) is preferably 2.5% by mass or more, more preferably 5% by mass or more, even more preferably 10% by mass or more, and preferably 30% by mass or less, more preferably 20% by mass or less, and even more preferably 15% by mass or less, from the viewpoint of the dispersibility of the hydraulic composition.

[0063] The hydraulic composition admixture of the present invention, when incorporated into a hydraulic composition, can shorten the mixing time (for example, from 6 minutes to 3 minutes), thereby reducing the time required for mixing and molding, and improving productivity. Furthermore, after a certain period of time has elapsed since mixing, the fluidity of the hydraulic composition remains unchanged compared to a hydraulic composition that does not contain the hydraulic composition admixture of the present invention. As a result, no slag is generated during centrifugal molding after the hydraulic composition is molded, and a hydraulic composition hardened body with a good finish can be obtained. Therefore, the hydraulic composition admixture of the present invention can be suitably used in hydraulic compositions for centrifugal molding. Furthermore, the admixture for hydraulic compositions of the present invention can also provide the above-mentioned effects in hydraulic compositions for solid mixing, where the proportion of water is low in order to obtain a high-strength hardened body. Therefore, the admixture for hydraulic compositions of the present invention can be suitably used in hydraulic compositions for solid mixing. In the present invention, a hydraulic composition for solid mixing is defined as a hydraulic composition having a slump of 0 cm or more and 6 cm or less using a slump cone as described in JIS A1171, and a mass % of the water (W) content relative to the hydraulic powder (P) content in the hydraulic composition (water / hydraulic powder ratio (W / P) × 100) of 15% by mass or more and 25% by mass or less.

Here, the water / hydraulic powder ratio (W / P) is the mass percentage of water (W) relative to the hydraulic powder (P) content in the hydraulic composition, and is calculated as water / hydraulic powder × 100. The water / hydraulic powder ratio is calculated based on the amount of powder that has physical properties that harden through a hydration reaction. Also, if the hydraulic powder is cement, W / P may be expressed as W / C. Furthermore, if the hydraulic powder includes powders selected from those having properties that harden through hydration reactions such as cement, powders having pozzolanic properties, powders having latent hydraulic properties, and stone powder (calcium carbonate powder), then in this invention, the amounts of these powders are also included in the amount of hydraulic powder.

Therefore, the hydraulic composition of the present invention can be suitably used for centrifugal molding. Furthermore, the hydraulic composition of the present invention can also provide the above-mentioned effects to the hydraulic composition for solid mixing described above, which has a low water content in order to obtain a high-strength hardened body. For this reason, the hydraulic composition of the present invention can be suitably used in hydraulic compositions for solid mixing.
[0078] [Method for producing hydraulic compositions] The present invention provides a method for producing a hydraulic composition by mixing component (A), component (B), hydraulic powder, and water.

Methods for filling the mold include directly pouring the composition from a mixer and introducing the hydraulic composition into the mold by pumping it.
[0082] During the curing of hydraulic compositions, heat curing may be performed to accelerate hardening. Here, heat curing can accelerate hardening by holding the hydraulic composition at a temperature of 40°C to 90°C.

Step 1: A step in which component (A), component (B), an optional component (C), hydraulic powder, aggregate, and water are mixed to obtain a hydraulic composition, and the obtained hydraulic composition is filled into a mold. Step 2: A step in which the hydraulic composition filled into the mold obtained in Step 1 is clamped by applying centrifugal force. Step 3: A step to solidify the molded hydraulic composition obtained in Step 2 within the mold.
[0084] Specific examples and preferred embodiments of components (A), (B), and (C) used in the method for producing a hardened body of the hydraulic composition of the present invention are the same as those described in the admixture for hydraulic composition of the present invention. Furthermore, specific examples and preferred embodiments of the hydraulic powder and aggregate used in the method for producing the hardened body of the hydraulic composition of the present invention are the same as those described in the hydraulic composition of the present invention. The hydraulic powder is mixed so that the mass % of the amount of water (W) relative to the amount of hydraulic powder (P) (water / hydraulic powder ratio (W / P) × 100) is within the range described in the hydraulic composition of the present invention. The amount of aggregate used (mixing amount) is also within the range described in the hydraulic composition of the present invention. Furthermore, in step 1 of the method for producing a hardened body of the hydraulic composition of the present invention, the content and mass ratio of each component described in the hydraulic composition of the present invention can be appropriately applied by replacing the content of each component with the amount of mixture. The matters described in the admixture for hydraulic compositions and its manufacturing method, as well as the hydraulic composition and its manufacturing method of the present invention, can be appropriately applied to the method for manufacturing a hardened body of the hydraulic composition of the present invention.

[0088] In step 1, a method of adding a mixture containing water, component (A), component (B), and an optional component (C) to a mixture containing aggregate and hydraulic powder and mixing is preferred because it allows for easy and uniform mixing even when manufacturing the hydraulic composition. Furthermore, the addition of component (A), component (B), and an optional component (C) is preferably done using the hydraulic composition admixture of the present invention, and a method of adding a mixture containing the hydraulic composition admixture of the present invention and water to a mixture containing aggregate and hydraulic powder and mixing is preferred because it allows for easy and uniform mixing even when manufacturing the hydraulic composition.
[0089] A specific method for step 1 is to mix the hydraulic powder and aggregate, add a mixture containing water, component (A), component (B), and an arbitrary component (C) in the aforementioned amounts, and knead to prepare a hydraulic composition.
[0090] In step 1, components (A), (B), and an optional (C) can be added separately to water, hydraulic powder, and aggregate and then mixed.
[0091] One method for filling the mold with the hydraulic composition obtained in step 1 is to discharge the mixed hydraulic composition from the mixing means, pour it into the mold, and level it.
[0092] In step 2, the hydraulic composition filled into the mold is clamped by centrifugal force, and it is preferable to change the centrifugal force at least once. In step 2, the hydraulic composition can be clamped by applying a centrifugal force that changes in stages. That is, in step 2, the hydraulic composition can be clamped by changing the centrifugal force at least once, and furthermore, by applying a centrifugal force that changes in stages, or by applying a centrifugal force that increases continuously.
[0093] In step 2, it is preferable to clamp the hydraulic composition filled into the mold with a centrifugal force of 0.5G or more. The centrifugal force for centrifugal molding is preferably 0.5G or more, preferably 30G or less, and more preferably 25G or less. From the viewpoint of reducing energy costs and moldability, for example, if the process is 1 minute or longer, it is preferable to maintain the centrifugal force in the range of 15G or more, 30G or less, and even more preferably 25G or less (also called high centrifugal force).
[0094] The time for compaction by centrifugal force is preferably 5 minutes or more, more preferably 7 minutes or more, even more preferably 9 minutes or more, and preferably 40 minutes or less, with a centrifugal force of 0.5G or more and 30G or less. When compacting the molded body smoothly, compaction by maintaining a high centrifugal force, for example, 20G or more, is preferably 1 minute or more, more preferably 3 minutes or more, even more preferably 5 minutes or more, and preferably 15 minutes or less. In other words, in step 3, it is preferable to apply a centrifugal force of 0.5G or more and 30G for preferably 5 minutes or more, more preferably 7 minutes or more, even more preferably 9 minutes or more, and preferably 40 minutes or less. Also, in step 3, when compaction by maintaining a centrifugal force of 20G or more is performed, it is preferable to do so for preferably 1 minute or more, more preferably 3 minutes or more, even more preferably 5 minutes or more, and preferably 15 minutes or less.
[0095] Centrifugal compaction can be carried out in stages, and from the viewpoint of moldability, it is preferable to gradually increase the centrifugal force G. The process can be carried out under the stage conditions shown below until the desired centrifugal force is reached. For example, in the case of five stages, in step 3, it is preferable to compact the hydraulic composition under the following conditions: (1) the initial velocity, which is the first stage, is a centrifugal force of 0.5G or more and less than 2G for more than 0 minutes and 15 minutes or less; (2) the second velocity, which is the second stage, is a centrifugal force of 2G or more and less than 5G for more than 0 minutes and 15 minutes or less; (3) the third velocity, which is the third stage, is a centrifugal force of 5G or more and less than 10G for more than 0 minutes and 15 minutes or less; (4) the fourth velocity, which is the fourth stage, is a centrifugal force of 10G or more and less than 20G for more than 0 minutes and 15 minutes or less; (5) the fifth velocity, which is the fifth stage, is a centrifugal force of 20G or more and 30G or less for more than 0 minutes and 15 minutes or less.
[0096] In step 3, the hydraulic composition obtained in step 2 can be allowed to set. Specifically, it can be cured in the air for 3 to 4 hours after mixing.
[0097] In step 4, the hardened hydraulic composition in the mold obtained in step 3 can be steam-cured. Specifically, steam curing is preferably performed at a temperature of 40°C to 90°C, and more preferably at a temperature of 60°C to 90°C. Furthermore, in step 4, it is preferable to perform steam curing after pre-curing. For example, it is preferable to perform pre-curing by setting the temperature around the mold filled with the hydraulic composition (hereinafter sometimes referred to as ambient temperature) to room temperature, preferably 10°C to 40°C, and leaving it for 1 to 4 hours, and then performing steam curing by setting the ambient temperature to 40°C to 90°C, and further to 60°C to 90°C. In this case, pre-curing is preferably one hour or longer, from the viewpoint of suppressing the reduction in strength due to cracking of the hardened material. Furthermore, if the method for manufacturing the cured body of the present invention includes step 5, steps 4 and 5 can be carried out continuously under a series of temperature controls. Steam curing is performed by applying steam around a mold filled with a hydraulic composition and maintaining it at a predetermined temperature for a certain period of time. After applying steam, the steam curing period may include (1) the period during which the temperature rises until it reaches the predetermined temperature, (2) the period during which it is maintained at the predetermined temperature for a certain period of time, and (3) the period during which the temperature decreases after being maintained at the predetermined temperature for a certain period of time.
[0098] As specific steam curing conditions in the method for manufacturing a cured body of the present invention, in step 4, the ambient temperature around the mold is raised to 60°C to 85°C at a heating rate of 10°C to 30°C per hour, and the raised temperature is maintained for 2 hours to 8 hours. Then, in step 5, the ambient temperature is cooled to room temperature, for example, 20°C, at a cooling rate of 5°C to 20°C per hour, and the molded body is demolded. From the viewpoint of suppressing strength reduction due to cracking of the hardened material, the heating rate is preferably 20°C or less per hour. One example of preferred conditions is a method in which a mold filled with a hydraulic composition is left for 3 hours at an ambient temperature of room temperature, for example, 10°C to 30°C (pre-curing), the ambient temperature is raised to 70°C to 90°C at a rate of 20°C per hour, the temperature is maintained at 70°C to 90°C for 2 to 6 hours, the ambient temperature is then cooled to room temperature, for example, 20°C at a rate of 10°C per hour (step 4), and the molded body is demolded after being left at that temperature for 20 to 30 hours (step 5). Furthermore, it is also possible to perform autoclave curing at approximately 180°C.
[0099] In step 6, the hardened hydraulic composition obtained in step 5 can be cured at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Specifically, it is stored at 20°C and atmospheric pressure.
[0100] The present invention provides a method for producing a hardened body of a hydraulic composition, comprising steps 1 to 5, wherein the time from the start of preparation of the hydraulic composition to demolding in step 5 is 8 hours or more and 30 hours or less. Here, the start of preparation of the hydraulic composition refers to the point in time when the hydraulic powder and water first come into contact.
[0101] The hardened hydraulic composition obtained by the manufacturing method of the present invention can be used as a centrifugal-molded concrete product, specifically, in the form of piles, poles, Hume pipes, etc. The manufacturing method of the hardened composition of the present invention allows for a reduction in mixing time (for example, from 6 minutes to 3 minutes), thereby shortening the mixing and molding time and improving productivity. Furthermore, after a certain period of time has elapsed since mixing, the resulting hydraulic composition exhibits no change in fluidity compared to a hydraulic composition that does not contain the admixture for hydraulic compositions of the present invention. Therefore, no slag is generated during centrifugal molding after the hydraulic composition is molded, and a hydraulic composition hardened body with good finish can be obtained. [Examples]

The reactor was stirred while purging with nitrogen and heated to 80°C in a nitrogen atmosphere. Then, 0.7 parts of 35% hydrogen peroxide were added. Two aqueous solutions, one of 21.3 parts of acrylic acid dissolved in 31.9 parts of water and the other of 1.2 parts of 3-mercaptopropionic acid dissolved in 38.0 parts of water, were added dropwise to the same container over 3 hours each. An aqueous solution of 0.3 parts of L-ascorbic acid dissolved in 32.2 parts of water was added dropwise over 3.5 hours. The mixture was then aged at 80°C for 1 hour.

[0108] [Mortar Test] (1) Mortar mix Table 1 shows the mortar mix designs. W / (C+P) is the mass % of the water content relative to the hydraulic powder content (total amount of cement (C) and high-strength admixture (P)) in the mortar mix (W / (C+P) × 100).
[0109] [Table 1]
[0110] *Mortar mixture The following mortar materials were used, as shown in Table 1. Cement (C): High-early-strength Portland cement, manufactured by Taiheiyo Cement Corporation, density 3.14 g / cm³ 3 • High-strength admixture (P): High-strength admixture, manufactured by Sumitomo Osaka Cement Co., Ltd., Super Nonclave, density 2.55 g / cm³ 3 • Tap water (W): Wakayama City tap water (containing component (A) or component (A'), component (B), and component (C)), density 1.00 g / cm³ 3 • Sand (S): Mountain sand, from Joyo, density 2.55 g / cm³ 3 All materials were adjusted to 20°C, and since the amounts of components (A), (A'), (B), and (C) in the tap water were trace amounts relative to the mortar mixture, they were included in the calculation of W / (C+P) by including them in the amount of tap water.
[0111] (2) Preparation of mortar (hydraulic composition) Mixing water was prepared by adding components (A) or (A'), (B) and (C) to tap water (W) of the mortar mixture so that the content of components (A) or (A'), (B) and (C) in the mortar (hydraulic composition) was as shown in Table 2, and stirring. Half of the sand (S) was put into a mortar pot, then cement (C), high-strength admixture (P), and the remaining sand (S) were added, and the mixture was stirred at low speed for 10 seconds using a mortar mixer (manufactured by Kansai Kiki Co., Ltd.), and the prepared mixing water was added and mixed for a predetermined time to obtain mortar (hydraulic composition).
[0112] (3) Evaluation of fluidity with respect to time elapsed since mixing The fluidity of each mortar (hydraulic composition) was measured from the time of mixing (meaning from the moment water first came into contact with the cement) to the time specified in Table 2. The fluidity was measured according to JIS R5201, Section 12, Flow Test. Specifically, the details are as follows: At each mixing time, the mortar (hydraulic composition) was filled into a flow cone (70 mm upper diameter x 100 mm lower diameter x 60 mm height) as described in JIS R5201, placed on a flow table. The flow cone was then removed vertically, and the fluidity was measured. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0113] [Table 2]
[0114] In Table 2, the content of component (A) or component (A'), component (B), and component (C) in each mortar (hydraulic composition) is the content (parts by mass) per 100 parts by mass of hydraulic powder, and represents the content of effective content (solids). (B) / (A) (mass ratio) is the mass ratio (B) / (A) of the content of component (B) to the content of component (A) in each mortar (hydraulic composition).
[0115] Table 2 shows that the examples containing component (A) and component (B) exhibit superior fluidity 3 minutes (180 seconds) after mixing compared to comparative examples that do not contain component (A) or component (B), or that contain these comparative components. On the other hand, it can be seen that the fluidity does not change significantly after 6 minutes (360 seconds) after mixing. Therefore, the admixture for hydraulic compositions and the hydraulic compositions of the present invention enable a reduction in mixing time (for example, from 6 minutes to 3 minutes), thereby shortening the time required for mixing and molding, and improving productivity.
[0116] [Table 3]
[0117] [Concrete Testing] (1) Concrete mix Table 3 shows the concrete mix designs. W / (C+P) is the mass % of the water content relative to the hydraulic powder content (total amount of cement (C) and high-strength admixture (P)) in the concrete mix (W / (C+P) × 100).
[0118] *Concrete mix The concrete materials used in Table 3 are as follows: Cement (C): High-early-strength Portland cement, manufactured by Taiheiyo Cement Corporation, density 3.14 g / cm³ 3 • High-strength admixture (P): High-strength admixture, manufactured by Sumitomo Osaka Cement Co., Ltd., Super Nonclave, density 2.55 g / cm³ 3 • Tap water (W): Wakayama City tap water (containing component (A) or component (A'), component (B), and component (C)), density 1.00 g / cm³ 3 • Sand (S): Mountain sand, from Joyo, density 2.55 g / cm³ 3 • Gravel (G): Crushed stone from the Ieshima Islands, density 2.63 g / cm³ 3 All materials were adjusted to 20°C, and since the amounts of components (A), (A'), (B), and (C) in the tap water were trace amounts relative to the concrete mix, they were included in the amount of tap water and W / (C+P) was calculated.
[0119] * Concrete preparation Mixing water was prepared by adding components (A), (B), and (C) to tap water (W) of the concrete mix material and stirring, so that the content of components (A), (B), and (C) in the concrete (hydraulic composition) would be as shown in Table 5. The entire amount of gravel (G) was put into a dicross mixer, then half of the sand (S) was added, followed by cement (C), high-strength admixture (P), and the remaining sand (S). The mixture was stirred for 30 seconds, the prepared mixing water was added, and the mixture was kneaded for the predetermined time shown in Table 5 to obtain concrete (hydraulic composition). Subsequently, the fluidity (slump) was evaluated, and piles were manufactured under the centrifugal molding conditions and steam curing conditions shown below, and the formability was evaluated. <Centrifugal molding conditions> 15.5 kg of prepared concrete was placed in a cylindrical centrifugal molding mold (φ20 cm × height 30 cm) for pile manufacturing, and centrifugal molding was performed in the following order: low speed, medium speed 1, medium speed 2, and high speed, under the conditions shown in Table 4.
[0120] [Table 4]
[0121] <Steam curing conditions> The steam curing conditions were as follows: 1. Preliminary steps: 20℃, 3 hours 2. Heating gradient: 20°C / hour 3. Maximum temperature: 80℃, 3 hours 4. Cooling gradient: 10°C / hour
[0122] (4) Evaluation of fluidity with respect to time elapsed since mixing The slump was measured for each concrete (hydraulic composition) after mixing for the specified time shown in Table 5, starting from the initial mixing stage (meaning from the point when water first came into contact with the cement). Slump was measured using a slump cone as specified in JIS A1150. The results are shown in Table 5.
[0123] *Evaluation of moldability in relation to the time elapsed since mixing. For each concrete (hydraulic composition) mixed for the specified time described in Table 5, from the initial mixing stage (meaning the moment when water first comes into contact with the cement), the concrete was filled into formwork, and the formwork was subjected to centrifugal molding and steam curing under the conditions described above. The formability of each concrete after hardening and demolding was evaluated. The evaluation of formability was determined by the occurrence of honeycombing on the end faces of each concrete after demolding, according to the following criteria. The end faces refer to both ends in the height direction of the concrete pile after demolding, and honeycombing here refers to unfilled areas that occur during centrifugal molding of fresh concrete after mixing for the specified time described in Table 5 due to insufficient mixing time. The results are shown in Table 5. ○: No honeycombing occurred, and both ends of the concrete pile exhibited a smooth and uniform surface. ×: Honeycombing has occurred.
[0124] [Table 5]
[0125] In Table 5, the content of components (A), (B), and (C) in each concrete (hydraulic composition) is the content (parts by mass) per 100 parts by mass of hydraulic powder, and represents the amount of effective content (solids). (B) / (A) (mass ratio) is the mass ratio (B) / (A) of the content of component (B) to the content of component (A) in each concrete (hydraulic composition).
[0126] Table 5 shows that the examples containing components (A) and (B) exhibit superior fluidity in concrete 2 minutes after mixing compared to the comparative example without component (B), but the fluidity does not change significantly after 6 minutes after mixing. Therefore, the admixture for hydraulic compositions and the hydraulic compositions of the present invention allow for a reduction in mixing time. As a result of verifying the moldability 2 minutes after mixing, the examples containing components (A) and (B) showed superior moldability compared to the comparative example without component (B), and furthermore, no slag was generated even 6 minutes after mixing. As shown in the examples of the present invention, the excellent moldability allows for a reduction in mixing and mold-filling work time, improving productivity and enabling the production of a hydraulic composition hardened body with a good finish.
