Scattering-Filling Stone Concrete: Mechanism, Experiment and Utilization

Abstract:

The coarse aggregate volume fraction in conventional plastic concrete is controlled relatively low to ensure a required workability, but its low aggregate content play negative roll on the service properties of the concrete. In this paper, we revealed the mechanism of a coarse aggregate interlocking concrete prepared by Scattering-Filling Stone Concrete (SFSC), it can keep the fresh concrete its workability but increase its service performance by scattering coarse aggregate during the concrete casting, the experimental and engineering application of SFSC indicated that: the strength of concrete prepared with this method increases obviously whereas the shrinkage decreases significantly when 20% cement dosage is saved. The SFS process was utilized in a highway pavement, the core of the concrete is very dense and no obvious defect could be found when 8% pavement concrete was replaced by coarse aggregate. The SFSC is a type of low carbon concrete.
