Research on the Mixture Ratio Design of Ultra-High Strength Concrete

Abstract:

Ultra-high strength concrete (including the coarse aggregate of over 5mm), with high compressive strength and strong durability, is regarded as a new-type building material that could economize on raw materials, land and energy and the development trend of concrete technology both at home and abroad. However, the large consumption of binding materials, low water-binder ratio and the viscous mixture are prone to give rise to the inferior pumping capacity, pipe blockage and pipe break, thus preventing its massive application in the real projects. Therefore, through the design of reasonable mixture ratio, this paper makes up and produces the pumping ultra-high strength concrete of over 100MPa that contains coarse aggregate by adopting the compound design of mineral admixtures, such as slag powder, fly ash and ganister sand so as to optimize the relevant parameter of the mixture ratio. Finally it comes to the conclusion that while making up the ultra-high strength concrete of over 100MPa, it is much more reasonable to appropriately add the mixing amount of the mineral admixtures, increase the water-cement ratio and decrease the water-binder ratio.
