Fine-Grained Concrete with Nanodispersed Silica Additive

Abstract:

The effect of the modifying nanodispersed silica (NS) additive, obtained by the polycondensation method, on the properties of fine-grained concrete (FGC) is studied. It is revealed that the dependence of the NS-additive particle size on its age is extreme. The maximum number of particles of up to 100 nm in the additive is observed at the age of 10 days, and then their number decreases. However, it affects the FGC strength little even after 30 days of the additive storage. It is established that the NS-additive could be most effectively used with 0.23% of an active silica concentration and pH 4.1 in combination with S-3. At that, the porosity declines from 17.5 to 12.9% and the pore diameter diminishes from 3.171 to 0.689 μm. It leads to an increase in the compressive strength by 2 times and a decrease in water absorption by 1.6 times as compared to the control composition without additives. An increase in the frost resistance of the modified fine-grained concrete to F250 is recorded; it occurs due to a decrease in porosity at portlandite binding with amorphous silica additives into low-basic calcium hydrosilicates.
