This invention discloses a method for evaluating the interfacial reinforcement of ultra-
high performance concrete using limestone
powder as a substitute for
silica fume, belonging to the technical field of
cementitious composite material
mix design and performance evaluation. The invention first establishes a reference cementitious material matrix
system containing
silica fume and sets up gradient substitution groups for
silica fume using limestone
powder. The strength of specimens with different substitution ratios is pre-screened based on the 28-day matrix
compressive strength, selecting representative substitution groups. The 100-hour cumulative heat release, 28-day total
porosity, peak pull-out load of a single steel
fiber, and pull-out work of a
single fiber are measured for the representative substitution groups. Hydration response coefficient, pore structure compactness coefficient, peak
bearing capacity coefficient, and energy dissipation coefficient are constructed, and a coupled determination method of interfacial reinforcement index (IEI) and strength constraint coefficient (Kc) is established. Based on IEI and Kc, candidate reinforcement groups, optimal substitution groups, and corresponding substitution ratios are output. This invention can be used for the rapid screening and
quantitative design of low-silica fume ultra-
high performance concrete cementitious systems.
