This application belongs to the field of
tunnel engineering construction technology, and particularly relates to a sheet-like nano C-S-H
crystal nucleus, its preparation method, sprayed concrete, and its application method. Addressing the industry pain points of existing high-temperature tunnel
shotcrete, such as abnormal hydration, insufficient early strength, high rebound rate, poor durability, and easy agglomeration and low
nucleation activity of existing C-S-H
crystal nuclei, this application uses
calcium nitrate and
sodium silicate as raw materials. Through a combination of processes including low-speed dropwise controlled
precipitation, in-situ modification with TPEG-type polycarboxylate dispersant, and low-temperature post-treatment, loose, porous, plate-like C-S-H
crystal nuclei with a
diameter of 50-100 nm are obtained. These nuclei are then incorporated into
shotcrete at 1.0%-1.5% of the total
mass of cementitious materials. Combined with an online mixing of accelerators and a high-temperature aggregate pre-cooling construction process, the
shotcrete strength can be increased by more than 30% in 8 hours to 3 days, the construction rebound rate can be reduced to below 8%, and the 28-day impermeability grade can reach P15. This method is suitable for tunnel conditions with high ground temperatures above 35℃ and high
corrosion. The process is simple, cost-controllable, and suitable for large-scale
engineering applications.
