Effects of Ultra-Fine Limestone Powder on Workability and Strength of High Strength Concrete

Abstract:

With the increasing demand for high strength concrete, more attention has been paid to the problem of high viscosity mixture in high strength concrete technology by academic and engineering circles. This project studied the effects of ultra-fine limestone powder on the workability and viscosity of fresh concrete using the ultra-fine limestone powder (LP) obtained by ultra-fine grinding of limestone powder, building sandstone processing waste, as fine mineral admixture of high strength concrete. The experimental results show that the viscosity of fresh high strength concrete with ultra-fine limestone powder decreases significantly. At the same time, the influence of ultra-fine limestone powder on the strength of the concrete at different ages is very little.
