Experiment of Different Admixtures on Antifreeze of Vegetation-Growing

Abstract:

Referring to the method of antifreeze on concrete, the experimentation analyses the antifreeze effect of vegetation-growing concrete caused by palm fiber, silicon powder and surfactant through the evaluation of the vibration frequency and mass changes in the process of freeze - thaw cycles. The results show that palm fiber and silicon powder can improve the antifreeze of vegetation-growing concrete effectively, while surfactant plays a negative role as its amount is above a certain value among the three kinds of admixtures, the palm fiber is the best admixture to improve the antifreeze of vegetation-growing concrete, and the optimal amount is about 1% of the planting raw soil by dry weight. In this case, the antifreeze of vegetation-growing concrete can be increased at least 50%.
