Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a two-component type ready-mix concrete shipping rapid-hardening concrete material and a ready-mix concrete shipping rapid-hardening concrete composition. [Background technology]

[0002] Globally, cement production is increasing, and infrastructure development is progressing rapidly. In particular, the construction boom in China and Southeast Asia is still ongoing. Among infrastructure developments, road construction holds a crucial position. Since early opening is desired for both new road construction and repairs, there is a demand for materials that can be put into service quickly. One example of this is rapid-hardening concrete.

[0003] For rapidly hardening concrete, pot life is also an important performance requirement. Considering the time required for manufacturing ready-mix concrete at a concrete plant, transporting it to the construction site, and the time needed for construction and cleaning the agitator trucks used to transport the concrete, it is desirable to secure a pot life of at least 120 minutes, and preferably 180 minutes or more. However, securing a longer pot life delays the hardening time, making it impossible to meet the required strength at the early stages of hardening. Therefore, with conventional technology, it has been difficult to secure a sufficient pot life while meeting the required strength development at the early stages of hardening.

[0004] Currently, rapid-hardening concrete is typically prepared on-site. For projects requiring small amounts of concrete, the amount is typically 0.1 to 0.2 m. 3Currently, rapid-hardening concrete is mixed using a mixer of a certain size, and its preparation and placement are carried out manually. This method requires a large amount of manpower, resulting in high labor costs and limitations on the volume of rapid-hardening concrete that can be supplied. Furthermore, for projects requiring large amounts of concrete, a concrete mobile truck is used to continuously supply rapid-hardening concrete. However, this method has the drawback of significantly increasing the cost of rapid-hardening concrete due to the need to arrange for a concrete mobile truck, as well as the labor costs involved in preparing the site by packing fine and coarse aggregates with controlled moisture content into flexible containers and transporting rapid-hardening cement into flexible containers. There are also limitations on the availability of concrete mobile trucks.

[0005] Today, there is a strong demand for the development of rapid-hardening concrete that can be shipped directly from ready-mix concrete plants. If rapid-hardening concrete can be shipped from ready-mix concrete plants, large quantities of rapid-hardening concrete can be supplied to construction sites using existing mixing equipment and transport systems.

[0006] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a ready-mix concrete-type rapid-hardening concrete material that uses a hardening agent for ready-mix concrete-type rapid-hardening concrete that includes at least one selected from the group consisting of calcium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, calcium aluminate compounds, calcium silicate compounds, colloidal silica, Portland cement, calcium sulfoaluminate cement, and blast furnace slag. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0007] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2018 / 154890 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0008] According to the ready-mix concrete-type rapid-hardening concrete material described in Patent Document 1, it is possible to manufacture a ready-mix concrete-type rapid-hardening concrete composition that has excellent initial strength development while ensuring a sufficient pot life. However, Patent Document 1 also shows that if aluminum sulfate is used as a rapid-setting agent, it sets instantly, making it impossible to ensure a sufficient pot life. Furthermore, there was room for further improvement regarding the initial strength development in low-temperature environments.

[0009] Based on the above, the present invention aims to provide a highly practical two-component type ready-mix concrete material that ensures sufficient pot life even in low-temperature environments while exhibiting excellent initial strength development. Furthermore, it aims to provide a ready-mix concrete material suitable for manufacturing the ready-mix concrete composition described above. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] Therefore, the present inventors have made various efforts to solve the above problems and have found that by preparing concrete by mixing material A, which contains rapid-hardening cement and a stimulant, at a ready-mix concrete plant, transporting it to the site, and then adding and mixing material B, which consists of a hardening accelerator containing aluminum, sulfur, sodium, and fluorine, it is possible to prepare a practical rapid-hardening concrete composition that has excellent initial strength development while ensuring sufficient pot life even in low-temperature environments, and have completed the present invention. In other words, the present invention is as follows.

[4] The natroalnite contained in material B is derived from cryolite. [1] to [3] A two-component ready-mix concrete ready-mix type rapid-hardening concrete material according to any one of the above.

[9] A two-component ready-mix concrete material for rapid hardening according to any one of [1] to [8], wherein the mass ratio (Al2O3 / SO3) of aluminum on an Al2O3 basis to sulfur on an SO3 basis is 0.05 to 1.0.

[10] A ready-mix concrete-type rapid-hardening concrete composition comprising material A, which contains rapid-hardening cement and a sedative, and material B, which consists of a hardening accelerator containing aluminum, sulfur, sodium, and fluorine, wherein the content of natroalnite in material B is 0.3 to 5% by mass. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a highly practical fresh concrete shipping type rapid hardening concrete composition that ensures sufficient usable time even in a low-temperature environment and has excellent initial strength development. Further, it is possible to provide a two-component type fresh concrete shipping type rapid hardening concrete material suitable for producing the fresh concrete shipping type rapid hardening concrete composition.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0013] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. In this specification, "parts" and "%" are based on mass unless otherwise specified. Further, the composition in this specification generically refers to a cement composition, a mortar composition, and a concrete composition.

[0014] [1] Two-component type fresh concrete shipping type rapid hardening concrete material The two-component type fresh concrete shipping type rapid hardening concrete material of the present embodiment includes at least two components, namely, a material A containing rapid hardening cement and a setting retarder, and a material B composed of a hardening accelerator containing aluminum, sulfur, sodium, and fluorine.

[0015] The "fresh concrete shipping type rapid hardening concrete" referred to in the present embodiment means concrete that is kneaded with fresh concrete (ready-mixed concrete) at a fresh concrete factory or fresh concrete plant, etc., transported by an agitator truck or the like, shipped to a construction site such as a civil engineering site or a construction site, and hardened relatively quickly after driving work. In the case of fresh concrete shipping type rapid hardening concrete, due to the relationship of the transportation time, the usable time must be at least 120 minutes or more from shipping to work completion, and it is desirable to ensure a usable time of 180 minutes or more when the transportation distance is long. The present embodiment is specifically used for such applications. Incidentally, the above-mentioned "agitator truck" is a freight truck equipped with a mixing drum (a kneading container) on the loading part that can transport fresh concrete while stirring. Although there is no significant difference in its function, there are those with a maximum loading capacity of 2 to 26 tons, and they are used appropriately according to the application.

[0016] In this embodiment, the dormant agent in Material A puts the ready-mix, rapid-hardening concrete into a dormant state, meaning that hydration hardening is almost completely stopped. This ensures a longer pot life. Furthermore, the addition of hardening accelerators containing aluminum, sulfur, sodium, and fluorine in Material B reawakens the hydration hardening of the rapid-hardening concrete, which had been put into a dormant state by the addition of a large amount of dormant agent, at the construction site. Then, other components such as the rapid-hardening agent provide excellent initial strength development. Adding material B promotes setting and hardening, but it is necessary to ensure sufficient working time after adding material B, with a pot life of at least 15 minutes required. However, if the amount of natroalnite in material B exceeds a certain level, the rapid hardening effect that the hardening accelerator can exert is inhibited, making it difficult to achieve good workability. In contrast, in this embodiment, the amount of natroalnite in material B was examined and set to a range of 0.3 to 5%, thereby ensuring a sufficient pot life even in low-temperature environments and achieving excellent initial strength development. Furthermore, Material B is easy to handle and can be used in either liquid or solid (preferably powder) form, making it highly practical as the form can be selected according to the construction site and conditions. The following provides a detailed explanation of material B and material A.

[0017] [B material] The B material according to this embodiment of the present invention is a curing accelerator containing aluminum, sulfur, sodium, and fluorine. By including these in the B material as a curing accelerator, good rapid hardening and strength development can be achieved even in low-temperature environments.

[0018] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the sodium nitrite content of material B is 5% or less. If the sodium nitrite content exceeds 5%, the rapid hardening effect that the hardening accelerator can exert is inhibited, making it difficult to achieve good workability. The sodium nitrite content is preferably 4% or less, and more preferably 3% or less. Although it is preferable that sodium nitrite be absent, it is actually possible for it to be present at a concentration of about 0.3% as it is generated by thermal hydrolysis.

[0019] It is preferable that the natroalnite content becomes 5% or less at least after storing the B material at 0-40°C for 48 hours immediately after its preparation. If the natroalnite content is 5% or less at this point, the inhibition of rapid hardening by natroalnite will be suppressed during subsequent storage at 0-40°C. Note that "0-40°C" is the temperature range assumed for actual use of the B material. The natroalnite content can be measured by the method described in the examples.

[0020] Here, natroalunaite is also called soda alum, and is (NaAl3(SO4)2(OH)6, (Na,K)Al3(SO4)2(OH)6, or [Na + ][Al 3+ ][Al 3+ 2][(OH)6|(SO4)2] 10- It is represented as (Na5Al3F). According to the present inventors, natroalnite mainly originates from cryolite, which is the raw material, and in particular, thiolite (Na5Al3F) in cryolite. 14 It has been found that this is derived from ) and elpasolite (K2NaAlF6). Therefore, to reduce the natroalnite content in material B to 5% or less, treatments such as reducing the thiolite and elpasolite in cryolite can be applied. Furthermore, as described later, the temperature conditions during the production of material B may be adjusted.

[0021] In this embodiment, material B is preferably acidic, and more preferably has a pH of 1 to 4. The acidity of material B improves handling compared to basic curing accelerators. To adjust the pH of material B within the above range, water and sulfuric acid may be added.

[0022] The content of aluminum, sulfur, sodium, and fluorine in material B is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of rapid hardening, it is preferable that the amount of aluminum is 0.1 to 20 parts in terms of Al2O3, the amount of sulfur is 0.1 to 30 parts in terms of SO3, the amount of sodium is 0.01 to 5 parts in terms of Na2O, and the amount of fluorine is 0.01 to 10 parts. It is more preferable that the amount of aluminum is 0.1 to 10 parts in terms of Al2O3. It is more preferable that the amount of sulfur is 0.1 to 10 parts in terms of SO3. It is more preferable that the amount of sodium is 0.01 to 2 parts in terms of Na2O. It is more preferable that the amount of fluorine is 0.01 to 2 parts.

[0023] Furthermore, from the viewpoint of storage stability of material B and mixability when added to paste, mortar, and concrete, the mass ratio of aluminum in terms of Al2O3 to sulfur in terms of SO3 (Al2O3 / SO3) is preferably 0.05 to 1.0, and more preferably 0.1 to 0.8.

[0024] In this embodiment, the solid content concentration of material B is preferably 20-70%, and more preferably 23-60%, from the viewpoint of storage stability of the hardening accelerator and mixability when added to paste, mortar, and concrete.

[0025] Furthermore, the viscosity of material B according to this embodiment at 20°C is preferably 1,400 mPa·s or less, and more preferably 1 to 1,000 mPa·s. A viscosity of 1,400 mPa·s or less enhances miscibility and provides stable physical properties. The viscosity can be measured by the method described in the examples.

[0026] In this embodiment, the stoichiometric ratio of the hypnotic agent and material B, described later, was examined, and by setting the range to 0.5 to 5, sufficient pot life was ensured and excellent initial strength development was achieved. This stoichiometric ratio is expressed by the following formula (1). Formula (1) represents the ratio of material B, which is a hardening accelerator, to the hypnotic agent in concrete containing the hypnotic agent and material B. The fact that this ratio is in the range of 0.5 to 5 means that if the ratio is too low, there will be an excess of the hypnotic agent and rapid hardening will not be achieved, and if the ratio is too high, there will be an excess of material B and instantaneous hardening will occur. Equation (1): Stoichiometric ratio = [Amount of aluminum in material B (mol)] × Number of aluminum particles × Valence of aluminum ions / (Amount of oxycarboxylic acid in the sleeping pill (mol) × Valence of oxycarboxylic acid in the sleeping pill)

[0027] The following explanation of stoichiometric ratios will be given using the example of material B containing aluminum sulfate and material A using potassium carbonate and citric acid (potassium carbonate:citric acid = 75:25 (mass ratio)) as sedatives. First, the molar masses of aluminum sulfate and citric acid are as follows: Aluminum sulfate (Al2(SO4)3) Molecular weight (MW) = 342.2 Citric acid (C6H8O7) Molecular weight (MW) = 192.1 If 1% aluminum sulfate and 1.5% sedative are added to 500 kg of binder in concrete, the respective components per unit of concrete will be as follows. Component B acts on citric acid, which is a retarder for the sedative. Aluminum sulfate: 500,000g × 0.01 (=1%) ÷ 342.2 = 14.6 mol Citric acid: Binding agent 500,000g × 0.015 (=1.5%) × 0.25 (=25%) ÷ 192.1 = 9.7 mol Since aluminum ions act as trivalent acids, aluminum sulfate contains two Al atoms, and citrate ions are trivalent bases (valence of retarder ions = 3), equation (1) described above is calculated as follows. Formula (1): Stoichiometric ratio = (14.6×2×3) / (9.7×3)=3.0

[0028] Material B according to this embodiment can be produced by mixing raw materials such as aluminum sulfate, various types of alum, aluminum hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, natural or synthetic cryolite, sodium fluoride, and aluminum fluoride in a liquid and heating at 80 to 95°C for 30 to 120 minutes. From the viewpoint of good productivity, it is preferable to use sulfuric acid, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum sulfate, or various types of alum and natural or synthetic cryolite as raw materials. Furthermore, it is preferable to use water or the like as the liquid.

[0029] In this embodiment, when cryolite is used as the raw material for producing material B, insoluble precipitates tend to form. In particular, it is presumed that thiolite and erpasolite contained in cryolite contribute to the formation of insoluble precipitates. Furthermore, it has been found that the formation of insoluble precipitates can be suppressed by performing certain operations when producing the hardening accelerator. Taking either of these into consideration, it is preferable to perform operations such as (1) or (2) below in order to keep the natroalnite content in material B to 5% or less.

[0030] (1) When using cryolite as the raw material, use cryolite in which the amount of thiolite and elpasolite contained is 5% or less. (2) After heating at 80-95°C as described above, rapidly cool to room temperature (e.g., 25°C) within 60 minutes.

[0031] Material B, produced in the manner described above, is suitable for use in ready-mix, rapidly hardening concrete, as described later.

[0032] [Material A] Material A contains rapid-hardening cement and a sedative. (Sleeping pills) The sedative used in this embodiment has the function of putting rapid-hardening concrete to sleep (almost stopping hydration hardening) after it has been shipped from the ready-mix concrete plant, thereby avoiding rapid-hardening problems at the ready-mix concrete plant and during transport by agitator truck. Examples of sedatives include oxycarboxylic acids, their salts, or a combination of these with alkali metal carbonates, sugars, and boric acid. The combination of oxycarboxylic acid and alkali metal carbonate is preferred because it has a greater effect in putting rapid-hardening concrete to sleep and because it allows for good strength development after the addition of material B. However, it is preferable to select an alkali metal carbonate other than lithium. It is necessary to ensure a sufficient pot life for the base concrete, a certain pot life after the addition of material B, and good strength development, and from this viewpoint, the application of lithium carbonate is undesirable. Also, alkali metal carbonate alone, without the combination of oxycarboxylic acid, does not act as a sedative. In this specification, "base concrete" refers to concrete prepared by mixing at least rapid-hardening cement, a stimulant, aggregate, and mixing water.

[0033] The sleep aid preferably contains an oxycarboxylic acid, an alkali metal carbonate other than lithium, and a mixture of the oxycarboxylic acid, and more preferably a mixture of an alkali metal carbonate other than lithium and an oxycarboxylic acid. The mixing ratio (mass ratio) of the alkali metal carbonate other than lithium and the oxycarboxylic acid is preferably 10 / 90 to 90 / 10, and more preferably 20 / 80 to 80 / 20, in terms of alkali metal carbonate / oxycarboxylic acid.

[0034] The oxycarboxylic acid includes oxycarboxylic acid or a salt thereof. Examples of oxycarboxylic acids include citric acid, gluconic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, etc. Examples of salts thereof include sodium salt, potassium salt, calcium salt, magnesium salt, etc. One or more of these may be used in combination.

[0035] The amount of sedative is preferably 0.3 to 5 parts, and more preferably 0.3 to 4.5 parts, per 100 parts of rapid-hardening cement. A concentration of 0.3 to 5 parts makes it easier to ensure sufficient working time in addition to the transportation time to the site. Furthermore, it makes it easier to re-induce hydration hardening when material B is added.

[0036] (Rapid-hardening cement) Rapid-hardening cement has a compressive strength of 24 N / mm² at 3 hours of age. 2 These are cements for rapidly hardening concrete that exhibit the above properties, and are broadly classified into calcium fluoroaluminate, hauyne, and calcium aluminate types based on their rapid hardening component. Among these, calcium aluminate rapidly hardening cement is preferable in terms of reducing slump loss.

[0037] Calcium aluminate-based rapid-setting cement is a mixture of cement, a rapid-setting agent, and a setting regulator, the rapid-setting agent consisting of calcium aluminate compounds and gypsum.

[0038] (cement) The term "cement" in this embodiment is not particularly limited, but includes, for example, various types of Portland cement (ordinary, rapid-hardening, moderate-heat, and low-heat) as defined by the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), various blended cements mixed with blast furnace slag, fly ash, and silica, filler cements mixed with limestone powder and blast furnace slow-cooled slag fine powder, and all types of cement, including environmentally friendly cements (eco-cements) manufactured using municipal solid waste incineration ash and sewage sludge incineration ash as raw materials. In addition, it can refer to all types of cement defined in the international standards EN197-2000 and the Chinese GB standard, and one or more of these types can be used.

[0039] Portland cement is composed of alite (3CaO·SiO2), belite (2CaO·SiO2), aluminate (3CaO·Al2O3), ferrite (4CaO·Al2O3·Fe2O3), and dihydrate gypsum (a portion of which may be converted to hemihydrate gypsum). In this embodiment, from the viewpoint of strength development, it is desirable to select a cement that does not contain admixtures such as blast furnace slag, fly ash, silica, and limestone powder. In particular, it is preferable to select a cement with a high alite content and high fineness (fine particle size). Examples of cements that fit this description include, for example, early-hardening cement and ordinary cement from Japan. Examples of cements from China include PII·52.5 and PII·42.5.

[0040] (Sudden hardwood) The rapidly hardening material of this embodiment is preferably composed of a calcium aluminate compound and gypsum. Here, the term "calcium aluminate compound" is a general term for compounds mainly composed of CaO and Al2O3, and is not particularly limited. Specific examples include CaO·Al2O3, 12CaO·7Al2O3, 11CaO·7Al2O3·CaF2, 3CaO·Al2O3, 3CaO·3Al2O3·CaSO4, and amorphous materials mainly composed of CaO and Al2O3 (for example, CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 compounds). Among these, selecting an amorphous material is preferable from the viewpoint of strength development.

[0041] In this embodiment, amorphousness is defined as follows: The target material is annealed at 1000°C for 2 hours, then slowly cooled at a cooling rate of 5°C / min to induce crystallization. The crystallized material is then measured by powder X-ray diffraction to determine the area S0 of the main peak of the crystalline mineral. Subsequently, the amorphousness X is calculated from the main peak area S of the crystal of the material before annealing using the following formula. X(%) = 100 × (1 - S / S0)

[0042] In addition, general industrial raw materials contain impurities such as SiO2, MgO, Fe2O3, TiO2, K2O, and Na2O. However, these impurities also have the effect of promoting the amorphization of calcium aluminate-based compounds, and it is acceptable for their total amount to be within the range of 20% or less. Among them, the presence of SiO2 is preferable, and it can also be contained within the range of 1 - 18% for the purpose of obtaining an amorphous substance.

[0043] Therefore, as a rapid hardening material, it preferably contains a CaO - Al2O3 - SiO2 - based compound and gypsum, the amorphous degree of this CaO - Al2O3 - SiO2 - based compound is 70% or more, and SiO2 is within the range of 1 - 18%. More preferably, the amorphous degree of the CaO - Al2O3 - SiO2 - based compound is 80% or more, and SiO2 is within the range of 2 - 13%.

[0044] The calcium aluminate-based compound is preferably adjusted to a Blaine specific surface area of 3,000 - 9,000 cm 2 / g by pulverization treatment, and more preferably adjusted to 4,000 - 8,000 cm 2 / g. When the powder fineness (Blaine specific surface area) of the calcium aluminate-based compound is 4,000 - 9,000 cm 2 / g, sufficient rapid hardening property is easily obtained, and strength development at low temperature is also easily obtained.

[0045] Also, the rapid hardening material of this embodiment is preferably adjusted to a Blaine specific surface area of 3,000 - 9,000 cm 2 / g by pulverization treatment, and more preferably adjusted to 4,000 - 8,000 cm 2 / g. When the powder fineness of the rapid hardening material is 3,000 - 9,000 cm 2 / g, sufficient ultra-rapid hardening property is easily obtained, and strength development at low temperature is also easily obtained.

[0046] The content of the rapid hardening agent is preferably 10 to 35 parts, more preferably 15 to 30 parts, and even more preferably 20 to 25 parts, out of a total of 100 parts of cement and rapid hardening agent. A content of 10 to 35 parts makes it easier to achieve good initial strength development and reduces the likelihood of long-term strength degradation.

[0047] In this embodiment, any type of gypsum can be used: anhydrous gypsum, hemihydrate gypsum, or dihydrate gypsum. Furthermore, natural gypsum, chemical gypsum such as phosphate-derived gypsum, exfoliated gypsum, and hydrofluoric acid-derived gypsum, or gypsum obtained by heat treatment of these can also be used. Among these, anhydrous gypsum and / or hemihydrate gypsum are preferred in terms of strength development, but from a cost perspective, anhydrous gypsum is desirable, and Type II anhydrous gypsum and / or natural anhydrous gypsum are preferred. The particle size of the gypsum is 3,000 cm² in Blaine value. 2 Preferably 4,000 to 7,000 cm² or more. 2 / g is more preferable. 3,000cm 2 A value of 1 / g or higher allows for good initial strength development.

[0048] The amount of gypsum used is preferably 10 to 200 parts, more preferably 15 to 150 parts, and even more preferably 20 to 130 parts, per 100 parts of the calcium aluminate compound. Using gypsum within these ranges allows for good strength development.

[0049] In this embodiment, in addition to the previously described hardening agent, sedative, aluminum, sulfur, sodium, and fluorine-containing hardening accelerator, one or more of the following can be used in material A and / or material B, to the extent that they do not substantially hinder the objective of the present invention: expansive agents, water-reducing agents, AE water-reducing agents, high-performance water-reducing agents, slag such as blast furnace slow-cooling slag powder, admixtures such as limestone powder, fly ash, silica fume, defoaming agents, thickeners, rust inhibitors, antifreeze agents, shrinkage-reducing agents, polymers, clay minerals such as bentonite, and anion exchangers such as hydrotalcite.

[0050] [2] Ready-mix concrete shipment type rapid-hardening concrete composition The ready-mix concrete-type rapid-hardening concrete composition according to this embodiment is a mixture of material A, which contains rapid-hardening cement and a hardening agent, and material B, which consists of a hardening accelerator containing aluminum, sulfur, sodium, and fluorine. The sodium lunite content in material B is 0.3 to 5%. The preferred range and other details are the same as those mentioned in "Two-component ready-mix concrete-type rapid-hardening concrete material".

[0051] At a ready-mix concrete plant, it is necessary to prepare various types of base concrete mixed with material A, and material B must be added and mixed to these base concretes after being transported to the construction site. If material B is mixed with the various base concretes at the ready-mix concrete plant rather than at the construction site, the pot life cannot be ensured. Also, if both the rapid-setting agent and material B are added at the ready-mix concrete plant, the pot life becomes extremely short, forcing the disposal of the concrete during transport. If material B is added at the ready-mix concrete plant and the rapid-setting agent is added at the construction site, the pot life after adding the rapid-setting agent becomes extremely short, less than 10 minutes, making construction impossible. If the rapid-setting agent and material B are added at the construction site, the pot life is shortened, the compressive strength is low, and only about 30% of the agitator drum volume can be transported. Thus, the timing of adding material A and material B is extremely important.

[0052] Therefore, in this embodiment, by using a two-component type consisting of material A and material B, specifically, by transporting the base concrete mixed with material A at the ready-mix concrete plant to the construction site and mixing with material B at the construction site, the ready-mix concrete shipment type rapid-hardening concrete composition of this embodiment can be obtained.

[0053] [Preparation method for ready-mix, rapidly hardening concrete] An embodiment of the method for preparing ready-mixed, rapidly hardened concrete according to the present invention sequentially includes the steps of: mixing at least material A with mixing water in a mixing container to form a base concrete (mixing step); and further mixing material B, for example, at the construction site. The mixing water mentioned above is supplied, for example, from a ready-mix concrete plant or other ready-mix concrete facility. Furthermore, transportation often occurs simultaneously with the mixing process.

[0054] In the mixing process, it is preferable that the volume of the base concrete, including material A and mixing water, be at least 40% of the internal volume of the mixing (transport) container, and more preferably 50% or more. Here, a mixing (transport) container refers to a container that is attached to a ready-mix concrete transport vehicle, such as the drum of an agitator truck, and is capable of holding and agitating ready-mix concrete.

[0055] Furthermore, it is preferable to determine the type of material B and the aforementioned stoichiometric ratio within an appropriate range so that a pot life of 10 minutes or more, preferably 15 minutes or more, is ensured after mixing material B.

[0056] As described above, the two-component ready-mix concrete material according to this embodiment is suitable for use as a material added after the concrete is poured, after the ready-mix concrete has been mixed and the mixture has been transported to the construction site. Furthermore, the pot life can be set to, for example, 120 minutes or more, preferably 180 minutes or more. [Examples]

[0057] The present invention will be described in more detail below based on experimental examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0058] (Experiments No. 1-1 to 1-29) Aluminum sulfate and cryolite were mixed with water so that the proportions of aluminum (in Al2O3 equivalent), sulfur (in SO3 equivalent), sodium (in Na2O equivalent), and fluorine were as shown in Table 1, and the mixture was heated at 90°C for 60 minutes. After heating, the mixture was rapidly cooled to 25°C in 50 minutes using a circulating cooling device to produce material B as a hardening accelerator. The solid content concentration and viscosity of material B at 20°C were measured as described below. The pH of material B was also measured using a pH meter. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0059] <Materials used> • Water: Tap water • Aluminum sulfate: Aluminum sulfate powder (14-18 water), reagent • Cryolite: Reagent; Thiolite: 2%, Elpasolite: 0.5% (measured by XRD)

[0060] • Solid content concentration: The total amount of SO3, Al2O3, and cryolite from the raw materials was calculated. Viscosity (20°C): Measured using a rotational viscometer.

[0061] 50g of material B was stored at 20°C for 48 hours. Afterward, the amount of natroalnite precipitated was measured as described below. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0062] • Sodium content 50g of stored material B was passed through a glass filter, filtered by suction, and then dried in a vacuum desiccator for 24 hours. X-ray diffraction measurements were then performed on the resulting sample. The content was determined by comparing the peak intensity of natroalnight alone with the peak intensity of natroalnight in the sample.

[0063] Cement 375 kg / m 3 , steep hardwood 125kg / m 3 Rapid-hardening concrete was prepared with a water / binder ratio of 32%, s / a = 42%, and air content of 2.0 ± 1.5 volume%. At this time, 1.5 parts of a stimulant was added to 100 parts of a binder consisting of cement and a rapid-hardening agent to prevent hydration and hardening for more than 24 hours (Material A). Assuming transportation time to the site and waiting time after arrival at the construction site, Material B, as a hardening accelerator, was added 120 minutes later in the stoichiometric ratio shown in Table 1 below. The pot life after adding Material B was measured, and the compressive strength was measured 6 hours after adding Material B (8 hours after mixing). s / a is the fine aggregate ratio, expressed as a percentage of the absolute volume ratio of fine aggregate to the total aggregate in the concrete. The ambient temperature was 20°C. The stoichiometric ratio was calculated from equation (1) described above.

[0064] <Materials used> • Rapid-hardening material: Equivalent mixture of CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 amorphous material and anhydrous gypsum. The CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 amorphous material consists of 43% CaO, 44% Al2O3, 10% SiO2, and 3% other components. Density: 2.85 g / cm³ 3 Brain specific surface area 5,000 cm² 2 / g, amorphous 90% • Sleeping pill: A mixture of 75 parts reagent-grade potassium carbonate and 25 parts reagent-grade citric acid. • Cement: Commercially available ordinary Portland cement (manufactured by Denka, density 3.15 g / cm³) 3 ) • Anhydrous gypsum: Type II anhydrous gypsum, pH 3.0, Blaine specific surface area 5,000 cm² 2 / g • Water: Tap water • Fine aggregate: Natural river sand • Coarse aggregate: crushed stone

[0065] <Measurement method> • Pot life: The pot life was determined by measuring the time of initial condensation in accordance with JIS A 1147. • Compressive strength: Measured in accordance with JIS A 1108.

[0066] [Table 1] [Industrial applicability]

[0067] The two-component ready-mix concrete material and ready-mix concrete composition of the present invention are particularly suitable for use in the civil engineering and construction fields because they ensure sufficient pot life even in low-temperature environments while exhibiting excellent initial strength development.
