Formula: D=v/v. ×100%
Porosity
Concept: refers to the percentage of the volume of internal pores in the material to the total volume of the material
Porosity reflects the structural density of a material
D P=1
void ratio
Concept: Porosity refers to the proportion of the bulk material in its accumulation volume, the sum of the open pore volume in the particles and the void volume between particles.
The size of the void ratio reflects how closely the particles of the granular material fill each other.
The void ratio can be used as the basis for controlling the gradation of concrete aggregate and calculating the sand rate.
Summarize
The greater the density and apparent density of the same material
The greater the porosity
The stronger the sound absorption ability
The better the thermal insulation
The worse the frost resistance
The lower the intensity
It shows that the density of the material structure is worse.
For a material, its density is relatively fixed
Water-related properties of materials
Hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity
When in contact with water, the property that the material surface can be wetted by water is called hydrophilicity;
The property that the surface of a material cannot be wetted by water is called hydrophobicity.
Hydrophobic materials are waterproof materials
The smaller the wetting angle θ, the easier it is to be wetted. The wetting angle is at the interface of material, air and water.
Water absorption and hygroscopicity
The ability of a material to absorb water when immersed in water is called the water absorbency of the material
Water absorption indicates
The property of a material to absorb moisture in humid air is called hygroscopicity
Commonly used expressions of mass moisture content
Factors that affect the hygroscopicity of materials include ().
Material composition
Content of fine pores
structural characteristics of materials
Water Absorption and Hygroscopic Moisture Content
Moisture content
Concept: The amount of water contained in the material is expressed by the moisture content
equilibrium moisture content
Equilibrium moisture content: The moisture content of the material when it is consistent with the external humidity
Equilibrium moisture content is not constant, it changes with changes in temperature and humidity in the environment
When the temperature is low and the relative humidity is high, the moisture content of the material is also high.
×, constant, a constant that varies with different materials
water absorption
Concept: The moisture content when a material absorbs water and reaches saturation is called water absorption (also called saturated surface dry water absorption)
=P opening
Wm=Wv×P. , If the mass water absorption exceeds 100, it is expressed by volume water absorption, such as lightweight porous materials with strong water absorption, wood, etc. The volumetric water absorption of concrete must be greater than its mass water absorption.
surface moisture content
Concept: Based on the saturated dry state, it is an indicator of how much water the material contains.
The relationship between moisture content and mass moisture content should be
In dry state
W=0,W<Wm
When air-drying
0<W<Wm, average moisture content,
When the surface is saturated and dry
W=Wm\W=Wv
When wet
W>Wm
Surface moisture content of a certain material
<0
air dry state, dry state
=0
Saturated dry noodle state
Measure the status during the experiment
>0

Hydrophobicity
Expression of water-related physical properties of building materials
The smaller the permeability coefficient, the better its anti-permeability performance
The greater the open porosity, the greater the water absorption rate
The larger the softening coefficient, the better the water resistance.
After the material absorbs water, the apparent density and thermal conductivity of the material will increase.
×, for concrete materials, the permeability coefficient should be used to characterize its impermeability
basic mechanical properties
strength
Concept: The ability to resist damage under the influence of external forces.
Classification
Shear resistance
Tensile strength
Calculation formula: f=Fmax/A
f--material strength (MPa); Fmax--maximum load when material fails (N); A--stress area of specimen
Three-point loading f=FL/bh² Single-point loading f=3FL/2bh²
In the flexural strength test measurement of beams (the cross-sectional dimensions of the beams are the same), the one-point concentrated load (1/2 point) method and the two-point concentrated load (1/3 point) method are used respectively. If the measured failure loads are the same , then the flexural strength relationship of the beam is ().
The one-point concentrated load method has high flexural strength
Influencing factors
1. The composition, structure and construction of materials.
2. Porosity and pore characteristics. (High void ratio, low strength)
3. The shape and size of the test piece. (Prism <cube)
When the cross-sections of the specimens are the same, the measured strength value of the short specimen is higher than that of the long specimen. The measured compressive strength values of small specimens are higher than those of large specimens
When the pressure areas are the same, the entire cube specimen is limited by the hoop effect. The uniaxial compressive strength of cubic specimens is higher than that of prismatic specimens.
In the concrete compressive strength test, the compressive strength test value of the 150mm cube specimen is higher than the compressive strength test value of the 200mm cube specimen.
4. Loading speed. (Fast speed, high strength when destroyed)
×When the test loading speed is faster, the measured strength value of the material is higher, otherwise it is lower. Therefore, a faster loading speed should be used as much as possible during the test
5. Temperature and humidity of the experimental environment. (high temperature, low intensity)
×Measure the strength of the material in the dry state, because the material has the highest strength in the dry state
The higher the moisture content, the more the strength decreases.
6. The state of the force-bearing surface. (Flat surface has high strength)
The surface of the specimen is uneven, with edges and corners missing, or the specimen is in smooth contact with the test device. It will lead to stress concentration, which will make the strength measurement value lower.
The flexural strength of the material is related to the stress condition, cross-sectional size and support conditions of the specimen.
For materials of the same quality, the greater the apparent density value, the smaller the porosity (that is, the denser the structure), so the higher the strength.
1. Deformation properties of materials
elasticity and plasticity
elasticity
Definition: The property of a material that is deformed under the action of an external force and can completely restore its original shape after the external force is removed.
Index: Elastic modulus--E=σ/ε, the larger E, the less likely it is to deform.
Plasticity: permanent deformation
Definition: A material deforms under the action of external force. After the external force is removed, it can still maintain the deformed shape and size without cracks.
The compressive strength, tensile strength and bending strength of plastic materials such as steel are roughly equal, with the lowest shear resistance. They can withstand tension, compression and bending moments.
most materials First undergo elastic deformation, then plastic deformation
Brittleness and toughness
brittleness
Definition: When the external force reaches the limit, the material suddenly breaks, and there is no obvious plastic deformation before the damage rather than no deformation.
Mechanical characteristics: Compressive strength is much higher than tensile and bending resistance. i.e. often used in areas under pressure
Rock, ceramics, glass, ordinary concrete, natural stone, clay bricks
toughness
Definition: Under impact and vibration loads, The material can absorb a large amount of energy and can also deform to a certain extent without damaging it.
wood, rubber
Creep and stress relaxation
Xu Bian
The phenomenon that the deformation of solid materials gradually increases with time under the action of external force.
It is closely related to the stress on the material and the temperature and humidity of the environment.
stress relaxation
When a material is under load and the resulting deformation cannot develop due to constraints, the stress will gradually decrease over time. (It is caused by the gradual increase in plastic deformation of the material, the gradual decrease in elastic deformation, and the "total deformation remains unchanged")
Material durability
Durability
Concept: It generally refers to the properties of materials that can maintain their performance for a long time under the conditions of use and are affected by various internal or external natural factors and harmful media.
water resistance
Concept: The material will not be damaged under the action of long-term saturated water, and its strength will not be significantly reduced.
formula:
K soft - softening coefficient. fb——The compressive strength of the material in the water-saturated state. (Mpa) fg——Compressive strength of material in dry state (Mpa)
The softening coefficient reflects the degree of reduction in strength of the material after it is saturated with water. It is one of the important characteristics of the change in properties of the material after absorbing water. The greater the softening coefficient, the better its water resistance.
The material absorbs water and its strength is reduced; K soft ≥0.85, water-resistant material
Impermeability
Concept: The resistance of materials to water penetration under the action of pressure water. Expressed by permeability coefficient or impermeability grade
×, for concrete materials, the permeability coefficient should be used to characterize its impermeability
Formula: K=Qd/AtH
K--permeability coefficient (cm/h); Q--amount of water seepage (cm3); A--water seepage area (cm2); d--thickness of specimen (cm) H--water pressure difference on both sides of the material (cm) ;t--water seepage time (h)
The smaller k is, the stronger the impermeability is.
Impermeability grade
In the concrete impermeability test, water seepage appeared on 2 surfaces of 6 specimens in each group. (i.e. no water seepage occurs on the 4 surfaces) expressed as 10 times the maximum water pressure (MPa).
For example, W2, W4, W6, w8, W10, and W12 respectively indicate that the maximum pressure that the specimen can withstand is 0.2MPa, 0.4MPa, 0.6MPa, 0.8MPa, 1.0MPa, 1.2MPa water pressure without penetration.
Factors affecting material impermeability
Material hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity
Generally, hydrophobic materials are more impermeable than hydrophilic materials.
density of material
Materials with higher density also have higher impermeability
Material pore characteristics
Materials with more open pores have poorer impermeability
main elements
Frost resistance
Concept: Refers to the material’s ability to withstand repeated freeze-thaw cycles without damage or significant reduction in strength when in a water-saturated state.
Frost resistance grade of concrete
F50, F100, F150, F200, F250, F300 level six
Note: Anti-freeze level - a standard specimen aged 28 days is subjected to repeated freeze-thaw cycles in a freeze-thaw solution of -25°C~20°C after being saturated with water, → it can withstand any one of the following standards The maximum number of freeze-thaw cycles is used to determine the frost resistance level (the relative dynamic elastic modulus drops to 60% of the initial value, or the mass loss rate reaches 5%).
Increasing the porosity of the same material will not necessarily reduce its frost resistance, which is determined by the open porosity
Factors affecting frost resistance
①Denseness of the material: The higher the density (the smaller the porosity), the smaller the frost resistance.
②Porosity characteristics of the material: The more open pores, that is, connected pores, the worse the frost resistance.
③Strength of the material: The higher the strength, the better the frost resistance.
④Water resistance of the material: The better the water resistance, the better the frost resistance.
⑤The amount of water absorption of the material: the greater the water absorption, the worse the frost resistance (water absorption saturation makes the frost resistance worse)
Weather resistance
Materials exposed to the atmosphere are often corroded by factors such as sunlight, wind, rain, dew, temperature changes, and corrosive gases (such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, ozone). The ability of a material to withstand these natural attacks is called weathering resistance.

think
Before laying bricks, the pile of bricks is often watered and moistened 1 to 2 days in advance. Why do you need to do this?
Analysis: It is for the mortar and bricks to bond well (because the bricks that are wetted by watering in advance are not easy to take away the moisture in the mortar, so it is conducive to the development of the mortar strength, thus improving the bonding force between the mortar and the bricks) . Note: Watering and moistening should be carried out 1 to 2 days in advance. Temporary watering before masonry is strictly prohibited.

Characteristics of the aging process include the release of a large amount of heat Volume expansion 1.5-3.5 times
Lime slaking method
Lime paste is formed after quicklime is slaked with water. It cannot be used immediately to prepare masonry mortar for wall masonry.
Treatment of over-fired lime and under-fired lime
Things to note during the aging process
·Chen Fu for more than 2 weeks: →Purpose: To prevent the harm of burnt lime.
·Prevent lime carbonization:→Measures: Keep a layer of moisture on the surface of the ash tank.
hardening
hardening process
·Ca(OH)2 precipitates from the saturated solution, and the crystals are interconnected and symbiotic, thereby improving the strength.
Drying and hardening
. Ca(OH)2 reacts with CO in the air to form CaCO, which gradually increases the strength of lime.
Carbonization hardening
The hardening process includes two simultaneous processes: drying hardening (crystallization) and carbonization hardening (carbonization) (anhydrous hardening)
Carbonization hardening proceeds slowly "from the outside to the inside" → After the mortar joints of masonry mortar and plastering mortar harden, there is still uncarbonized Ca(OH)2 component.
Thinking: Why is lime mortar plastering prone to cracking, shelling, and peeling in an environment that has been exposed to moisture for a long time? Under the action of moisture in a humid environment, the uncarbonized and hardened Ca (OH)2 dissolves in water, resulting in a reduction in the strength of the structure → resulting in mortar cracking, shell jumping, peeling and other phenomena.
Technical properties and applications of lime
Lime quality grade
Construction quicklime, construction quicklime powder, and construction slaked lime powder are based on the effective CaO MgO content. It can be divided into three levels: superior product, first-class product and qualified product.
Properties of lime
1. Good plasticity;
In engineering, (lime paste) is often added to cement mortar to improve its plasticity.
2. Quicklime has strong hygroscopicity and good water retention
3. Slow hardening and low strength;
4. The volume shrinks greatly after hardening and is easy to crack.
5. Poor water resistance.
6. The characteristics of the aging process are that a large amount of heat is released, and the volume expands 1.5-3.5 times, that is, slight expansion.
7. The condensation and hardening process can only be carried out in an air environment (air-hardening cementitious materials)
Application of lime
Prepare lime mortar and lime milk; ·Prepare lime soil (slaked lime clay) and Sanhe soil (slaked lime clay sand); ·Production of carbonized lime boards;
·Production of silicate products (such as lime (slaked lime powder or quicklime powder) and siliceous materials (sand, fly ash, volcanic ash, slag, etc.) As the main raw material, various products such as bricks and blocks can be made after batching, mixing, shaping and curing);
·Reinforce the foundation.
lime storage
·Do not mix, store or transport with flammable, explosive and other dangerous liquid items.
·The storage time of quicklime should not be too long, generally no more than one month. Achieve "change as you go".
·Hydrated lime must be aged for more than two weeks before use to prevent the damage caused by burnt lime to the building.
Quicklime should be stored in a dry warehouse to protect it from water and moisture. When the storage time is long, it is best to digest it into lime paste in the ash tank, and cover the surface with a permanent film to isolate the air and prevent carbonization.
plaster
Raw materials, production and varieties of gypsum
The production of gypsum cementitious materials is usually made by calcining, dehydrating and then grinding dihydrate gypsum at a certain temperature and pressure.
·Under different calcination temperatures, the products obtained are different. The specific process is as follows:
·Building gypsum is commonly used in construction projects; high-strength gypsum is used to produce building gypsum products.
Setting and hardening of building gypsum
Condensation of building gypsum: it is a process of dissolution, reaction, precipitation and crystallization;
Gypsum hardening: It is the formation process of the crystal structure network between the dihydrate gypsum crystals.
(Crystals intersect with each other to form a network structure; as the reaction continues, The crystal structure network gradually becomes denser, causing the gypsum crystals to gradually harden. )
Technical requirements for building gypsum
Properties and applications of gypsum
Technical properties of construction gypsum
·Condensation and hardening quickly;
The volume expands slightly during condensation;
·Large porosity→low apparent density and low strength; Low thermal conductivity, good thermal insulation performance, and good sound absorption performance; Strong hygroscopicity, poor water resistance and frost resistance; generally not used for outdoor decoration
·Has good fire resistance
9. The reason why gypsum products have good fire resistance is ().
Gypsum products have high porosity
The large amount of crystal water contained in it can absorb a large amount of heat during the evaporation process
CaSO4·2H20 dehydrates during fire and forms a water film on the surface
Good processability.
Application of Gypsum
·Indoor plastering and painting;
·Production of construction gypsum products;
·Added to cement as a retarder during cement production.
Gypsum products can be used for ().
Interior wall insulation materials, non-load-bearing partition panels, ceiling materials, perforated veneer panels for theaters and lecture halls
The strength of ordinary building gypsum is low. This is because the amount of water added when preparing the slurry during the construction process is (much larger than) the theoretical amount of water added. The evaporation of excess water leads to the formation of a large number of capillary pores inside.
water glass
Production of water glass
Silicate modulus of water glass
·The modulus n of water glass: refers to the ratio of the number of molecules of silicon oxide and sodium oxide in sodium silicate (Na, OnSiOz), which is generally between 1.5 and 3.5.
Formulate heat-resistant concrete or serve as a setting accelerator for cement
n=3.3~3.5 is appropriate
for foundation grouting

Magnesium bicarbonate is produced by calcining magnesium bicarbonate at high temperature, and its composition is magnesium oxide.
Directly add water and mix: Mg(OH) is generated, → loose and has no cementing ability. Add magnesium chloride solution and mix: it will coagulate and harden quickly, and the strength of the reaction product after hardening can reach 40~60MPa. (In engineering, two magnesium compounds, magnesium oxide and magnesium chloride, are sometimes used as the main raw materials to produce cement, which is called "magnesium oxychloride cement", also known as "double magnesium cement")
The hydration and hardening product of Lingkushi has poor gelling properties, but its strength is higher after being mixed and hardened with magnesium chloride aqueous solution.
The hardening process of caltropite will produce micro-volume expansion; after hardening, it becomes weakly alkaline, has a certain strength, strong hygroscopicity, and poor water resistance; it has a corrosive effect on steel bars.
Gypsum and lime are highly hygroscopic, so their products are suitable for use in decoration in humid environments to reduce the humidity of the environment and thereby prevent mildew. (×)

Hydration and setting hardening of general Portland cement
Hydration of Portland cement
In order to avoid the flash setting phenomenon of general Portland cement, an appropriate amount of gypsum is often added to the cement for adjustment. The principle of its action is to use the hydration of gypsum and the (C3A) component in the mineral composition of cement clinker to form ettringite. , thereby inhibiting the hydration process of cement.

General Portland cement technical requirements
1Chemical indicators
2Alkali content (selectivity index)
Alkali content refers to the content of sodium oxide (Na2O) and potassium oxide (K2O) in cement.
In recent years, many alkali-aggregate reactions have been discovered in concrete construction, leading to concrete cracking (therefore, when using reactive aggregates to formulate concrete, low-alkali cement should be used).
The alkali content in cement is expressed as the calculated value of Na2O 0.658K2O. If active aggregate is used and the user requires low-alkali cement, the alkali content in the cement should not exceed 0.60% or be determined through negotiation between the buyer and the seller.
3 physical indicators
test
Cement slurry preparation:
·Use a pure slurry mixer to stir (pour the mixing water into the mixing pot → add 500g of cement into the water → stir at low speed for 120s → stop for 15s → stir at high speed for 120s and then end).
When measuring cement standard consistency water consumption, setting time, and stability, the standard test conditions are: (see GB/T1346-2011)
·Test room: 20℃±2℃, relative humidity not less than 50%. ·Moisture curing box: 20℃±1℃, relative humidity not less than 90%.
Determination of water consumption for standard consistency of cement
Vicat
Test mold height 40mm, top inner diameter 65mm, bottom inner diameter 75mm, test piece
Standard consistency water consumption: The amount of water required when the cement slurry reaches the specified "standard consistency". → Expressed by "the percentage of mixing water volume and cement mass".
Adjust the amount of water to 500g of cement and add water to prepare the pure slurry) The control standard for the test standard consistency is ·Standard method: The test rod is sunk into the clean slurry and the bottom is 6±1)mm. ·Usage: Test the cone sinking depth (30±1)mm.
Clotting time measurement
·Initial setting time is the time from adding water to when the cement slurry begins to lose its plasticity. ·Final setting time is the time from adding water to the time when the cement slurry completely loses its plasticity.
Initial setting time measurement:
The big end of the diameter is facing down and the small end is facing up near the initial setting. Measure once every 5 minutes.
·Control standard for initial setting time: The test needle sinks into the specimen and is (4±1) mm away from the bottom plate.
Final setting time determination:
The small end of the diameter is facing down and the large end is facing up near final setting. Measure once every 15 minutes.
The control standard for final setting time: the test needle sinks into the specimen by 0.5mm.
construction
construction operations
The initial setting time of cement should not be too early: this is to ensure that there is enough time to complete each process of concrete construction before the initial setting. (for construction operations)
Construction Schedule
The final setting time of cement should not be too long: it is to make the concrete harden as soon as possible after pouring, so as to facilitate the early construction of the next process. (for construction progress)
Fast-hardening and early-strength cement varieties can be selected
Stability determination
·Stability refers to the uniform change in volume of cement slurry when it hardens. ·Poor stability of cement will affect the quality of the project (causing expansion cracks in cement products and concrete components), and even cause serious engineering accidents. →Cement with poor stability is strictly prohibited from being used in projects.
Reasons for poor cement stability:
① The clinker contains excessive free calcium oxide (f-CaO); ② Contains excess free magnesium oxide (f-MgO); ③ Excessive gypsum added during cement production (ie, the influence of SO,).
Boiling method to test stability Boiling: Heat to boiling within 30 minutes ± 5 minutes, and maintain constant boiling for 180 minutes ± 5 minutes.
Standard method: Ray's method
Judgment of Ray's method test results: (C-A)≯5mm, the stability is qualified.
[Explanation: ① When the average value of the increased distance (C-A) between the two specimens after boiling is not greater than 5 mm, the stability of the cement is deemed to be qualified; ② When the average value of the increased distance (C-A) between the two specimens after boiling is greater than 5 mm, the same sample shall be used to repeat the test, and the retest result shall prevail.
Alternative method: cake test method Diameter 70-80mm, center thickness 10mm
Judgment of test results by cake test method: No cracks are found in the test cake after boiling, and no cracks are found in the test cake when inspected with a steel ruler. The stability of the test cake is qualified; otherwise, it is unqualified.
When the judgment results of the two test cakes are contradictory, the stability of the cement is unqualified.
Testing methods for cement stability:
① Free calcium oxide: measured by boiling method; ② Magnesium oxide: measured by pressure steaming method; ③ Sulfur trioxide: measured by water immersion method.
GB175-2007 stipulates that the stability of general Portland cement must pass the boiling method test.
[Note: ① The boiling method cannot comprehensively test whether the volume stability of general Portland cement is good. ② Since cement has strict restrictions on the content of free magnesium oxide and sO3 when it leaves the factory (if these two items are unqualified, it will not be allowed to leave the factory), so in the project, only the boiling method is generally used to check whether the free calcium oxide is qualified. That’s it].
Fineness (selectivity indicator)
Fineness refers to the thickness of cement particles
The thickness of cement particles directly affects its hydration reaction speed, activity and strength.
Testing method for cement fineness

Slag Portland cement, fly ash Portland cement, pozzolanic Portland cement, composite Portland cement: the fineness is expressed in terms of sieve residue → [Regulations]: The sieve residue of 80um square hole sieve shall not be greater than 10% or 45um The sieve residue of the square hole sieve is not more than 30%.
Specific surface area method (Boer method)

Various features
slag cement
It has poor impermeability but good heat resistance and can be used in concrete projects with temperatures not higher than 200°C.
Compared with Portland cement, the reason why slag Portland cement has stronger resistance to sulfate corrosion is (). (corrosion resistance) The relative content of cement clinker is reduced, coupled with the active effect of slag, the content of calcium hydroxide and calcium aluminate hydrate in the hydration product is reduced.
Pozzolana cement: has good impermeability, but has a large dry shrinkage and is not suitable for concrete projects that have been in a dry environment for a long time.
Fly ash cement: shrinks on drying and has good crack resistance.

Aluminum Portland cement
Aluminate cement is a cement that hardens quickly, has high early strength, high heat of hydration, and good heat resistance and corrosion resistance.
Aluminate cement sets and hardens quickly and develops rapid early strength. It is suitable for emergency repair projects and concrete projects with early strength requirements.
Steam curing is not suitable
The heat of hydration is high and concentrated in the early stage.
Suitable for concrete projects constructed in winter, not suitable for large-volume concrete projects
Poor alkali corrosion resistance
There is no easily eroded component calcium hydroxide in the hydration product of aluminate cement, and the cement stone structure is dense, so it can be used in concrete projects that require impermeability and resistance to soft water, acid, and salt erosion. Aluminate cement is prone to corrosion in alkaline environments, and contact with alkaline media should be avoided.
Under moist heat curing conditions, the strength decrease is more obvious. Aluminate cement is not suitable for high-temperature construction projects, let alone damp-heat curing concrete projects.
Hardened aluminate cement stone has high heat resistance.
Can be made into heat-resistant concrete
During construction, it shall not be mixed with lime and Portland cement, nor shall it be used in contact with unhardened Portland cement.
Mixing aluminate cement with Portland cement or lime not only produces flash setting, It also generates highly alkaline tricalcium aluminate hydrate, which can cause cracking and damage to concrete.

If there is no obvious color halo, the methylene blue rapid test is judged to be "unqualified".
2 harmful substances
1 mica

Sand rate: SP = sand usage S/(sand usage S + gravel usage G) × 100%
It is the percentage of the mass of sand in concrete to the total mass of sand and stone.
Thickness
The commonly used fineness modulus (Mx, u or FM) indicates the average thickness of sand particles of different particle sizes when mixed together, but it cannot indicate the quality of the gradation.
The fineness modulus of sand decreases, the finer the sand → the finer the sand, The greater the total surface area and void ratio of the sand, and thus the greater the amount of cement slurry required in the concrete (that is, a waste of cement).
Particle gradation

Specifically determined through screening tests.
① The gradation area of sand should be divided according to the cumulative sieve residue percentage on the 600 μm square hole sieve. ②4.75mm and 0.6mm are not allowed to exceed the boundary line, otherwise the grading will be poor. ③Whether the rest of the screening grades are well distributed: 5% more than the total; <5% are well graded

Are the fineness moduli of two sands with the same particle gradation necessarily the same? - Must be the same 3. Are the particle gradations of two types of sand with different fineness modulus necessarily different? - Must not be the same 4. Are the fineness moduli of two types of sand with different particle gradations necessarily different? It may be the same, or it may be different.
Fineness modulus = average score, particle grading = scores in each subject
Fine aggregate and coarse aggregate 4-6
4Particle gradation and maximum particle size of stones
1. Particle gradation
Nominal particle size of coarse aggregate
Continuous particle classification: Continuous classification according to particle size from small to large, from the minimum particle size of 5mm to DMo
Single grain grade: pre-graded and screened coarse aggregate, from (1/2DM)~~DMo
Grading of coarse aggregate
Continuous gradation: Starting from DM, the particle size classes are connected from large to small, and each particle size class occupies an appropriate proportion. →The prepared concrete mixture has good workability and is not prone to segregation.
discontinuous grading
It is composed of non-adjacent single-grain aggregates that are matched with each other. (That is, the first and second-level stones in the middle are removed, and the stones of each particle size class are not connected).
It can reduce the porosity of gravel particles, thereby saving cement, but discontinuous grading can easily lead to segregation of the concrete mixture. Moreover, it is not suitable for the natural gradation of aggregates, so it is rarely used in engineering.
2. Maximum particle size Dm
The selection of the maximum particle size of coarse aggregate will directly affect the amount of cement. When the maximum particle size increases, the total surface area of the aggregate decreases, and the amount of cement slurry required to wrap its surface will decrease, saving cement and cost.
The upper limit of the nominal particle size of coarse aggregate is called the maximum particle size of coarse aggregate. P73
For harbor engineering concrete, the maximum particle size of coarse aggregate should not exceed 80mm.
Mixers with a mixing capacity of 0.8m³ shall not be used to mix fourth-grade concrete.
Oversized particles and undersized particles
Oversized particles: The stones of a certain particle size are mixed with particles exceeding the upper limit of the nominal particle size.
Undersized particles: The stones of a certain particle size are mixed with particles that are lower than the lower limit of the nominal particle size.

6Physical and mechanical properties of aggregates
1. Particle shape and surface characteristics
The particle shape and surface characteristics of the aggregate → will affect its bonding with the cement stone and the fluidity of the concrete mixture.
Needle-shaped particles: particles in coarse aggregate whose length is greater than 2.4 times the average particle size of the particle size.
Flaky particles: Particles in coarse aggregate whose thickness is less than 0.4 times the average particle size of the particle size.
Adverse effects:
① Increase the void ratio of the aggregate and waste cement.
② It is easy to break after being stressed, and excessive content will reduce the strength of concrete.
2Apparent density, bulk density and void ratio
Apparent density
Bulk density
3. Moisture state of aggregates For details, see Chapter 1 Physical Properties
Loading: Load the sample evenly into 2 layers (each layer is 1/2 of the tube height).
Tamping: Lightly tap each layer with a tamping rod 13 times (the tampering rod falls freely from 10mm above the surface of the sample).
4. Coarse aggregate strength
Compressive strength value
The standard specimen is soaked in water for 48 hours to saturate it with water, and the specimen is taken out to measure its ultimate compressive strength in the water-saturated state (loading rate 0.5~1MPa/s; the average of the test results of 6 specimens is used as the compressive strength) .
·Crushing index value
Take 3kg of particles with a particle size between 10 and 20 mm (excluding needles and flake particles) and test the pressure (load to 200kN within 160 to 300 seconds to stabilize for 5 seconds, then unload) → sieve through a 2.5mm sieve. (Trip three times in parallel and take the average value).
Because the bonding force between pebbles and cement stones is lower than the bonding force between gravel and cement stones, under the same conditions, for medium and low strength concrete, the strength of pebble concrete is smaller than the strength of crushed concrete.
Main properties of cement concrete
evaluate Properties of concrete mixes
1. Workability
concept
Concrete mixtures are convenient for construction operations (mixing, transportation, pouring, and vibrating) under certain construction conditions. And can obtain the properties of uniform quality and dense molding - called "workability".
fluidity
1. Easy to form and dense
cohesiveness
Water retention
Easy to reach uniform structure
Ensure the quality of concrete after hardening
It refers to the performance of the concrete mixture that can flow under its own weight or external force and fill the formwork surface evenly and densely.
It means that there is a certain cohesion between the materials of the concrete mixture, so that delamination and segregation will not occur during construction.
It means that the concrete mixture has a certain ability to retain moisture and prevent it from leaking out.
Evaluation methods and indicatorsP79
fluidity
Slump: suitable for plastic concrete and fluid concrete
The slump expansion that should be measured when the slump is >220mm
Concrete with a mixture slump of zero is difficult to pour and form. When the pouring density is not guaranteed, the strength of the concrete will be reduced.
Weibo consistency method: suitable for dry hard concrete
The factors that affect fluidity are not only the cement dosage, but also the addition of admixtures and admixtures.
cohesiveness
Look at the state of the mixture cone
Poor cohesion → Concrete will appear delamination and segregation (cement slurry will float, aggregates will sink, and concrete will be uneven) →After the formwork is removed, honeycomb pitting will appear on the concrete, and in severe cases, cavities will appear.
Water retention
Check to see if there is slurry or water secreted out
Poor water retention → concrete will appear slurry and bleeding → the density of hardened concrete will become worse.
Selection of fluidity (slump) indicators
The fluidity (slump) of the concrete mixture should be determined based on the structure type, component cross-section size, steel bar density, construction technology and tamping method. The basic principles are:
(1) When the cross-sectional size of the structure or components is large, select a smaller slump.
(2) When the steel bars of the structure and components are sparsely arranged, select a smaller slump.
(3) When mechanically vibrating, choose a smaller slump; when manually vibrating, choose a larger slump.
(4) The principle of selecting slump should be to use a smaller slump as much as possible to save cement and obtain higher quality concrete under the conditions of meeting the construction requirements.
Factors affecting the workability of concrete mixture P79
①Unit water consumption W (cement slurry consumption)
②Water-cement ratio W/B or water-cement ratio W/C (slurry thickness)
③Sand content (Bs or Sp)
④Constituting material properties
⑤Storage time and ambient temperature
⑥Construction technology, etc.
Measures to improve the workability of concrete mixtures83
Adjust material composition
Adding additives and admixtures
Improve vibrating equipment performance
When the concrete mixture has good cohesion, no bleeding, and the slump is too small, the available measures are: appropriately increase the amount of cement slurry while keeping the water-cement ratio unchanged.
As the fluidity of ordinary concrete increases, its water retention will become worse.
When there is slurry in the concrete mixture and the concrete cone collapses and loosens in the slump test, the amount of sand should be kept unchanged and the sand rate should be increased appropriately.
The larger the slump, the better the fluidity of the concrete and the easier the construction. However, if the slump is too large, it will be accompanied by concrete slurry and bleeding (i.e., deterioration of cohesion and water retention), which will worsen the compactness and uniformity of the concrete after vibration.
2. Condensation time P83
·The setting time of the concrete mixture is related to the setting time of the cement used, but it is not consistent. ·Setting time of concrete mixture: measured by "penetration resistance method".
Strength of hardened concrete
concrete strength
1. Cube compressive strength and strength grade
"C" is the concrete strength symbol, and the number after "C" is the standard value of concrete cube compressive strength.
For hydraulic mass concrete, the design age is generally not 28d, but 90d or 180d.
Strength conversion coefficient P85
When using a cube specimen with a side length of 100 mm, the size conversion factor is 0.95
2 Axial compressive strength of concrete
3Splitting tensile strength
The splitting tensile strength is low, generally 1/10 to 1/20 of the compressive strength.
4 Factors Affecting the Compressive Strength of Concrete
Cement strength and water-cement ratio
A. Decreases as the water-binder ratio increases. B. If there is too much cement, the water-cement ratio will be too small, the concrete will be dry and thick, the concrete will be difficult to form and not dense, and the strength will be reduced.
The 28d strength of ordinary concrete is linearly related to its cement-to-cement ratio (i.e., the reciprocal of the water-to-cement ratio).
⑵Quality and variety of aggregates
When the cement stone strength and other conditions are the same → the strength of gravel concrete is higher than that of pebble concrete.
⑶Maintenance conditions
Under humid environmental conditions, the strength of concrete continues to grow.
The curing temperature of concrete should not be higher than 40℃ and not lower than 4℃. The suitable curing temperature is 5~35℃.
(4) Maintenance period
The strength of concrete increases with age, significantly in the early stage and gradually slowly in the later stage.
(5)Test conditions
Test loading speed, specimen shape, size and surface condition.
(6)Construction technology
Mechanical mixing, mechanical vibration, SEC method, pumping construction, etc. are all beneficial to improving the strength of concrete.
5 Measures to Improve Concrete Strength
①Using high-strength cement and low water-cement ratio
If the W/C is too low, the concrete will be dry and thick and difficult to construct. When the pouring density cannot be guaranteed, the strength of the concrete will be reduced.
②Incorporate concrete admixtures and admixtures ③Use moist heat treatment (steam curing, autoclave curing) ④Use mechanical stirring and vibration
Deformation properties of concrete
Chemical shrinkage (autogenous volumetric deformation)
The shrinkage value is small and cannot be restored. It has no destructive effect on the concrete structure, but micro cracks may occur inside the concrete and affect the load-bearing performance and durability.
Dry and wet deformation (physical shrinkage) Concrete shrinkage cracks are caused by physical shrinkage
Beneficial deformation of concrete
The wet expansion deformation of concrete is very small and generally has no destructive effect.
Dry shrinkage deformation is more harmful to concrete. Dry shrinkage can cause greater tensile stress on the surface of the concrete and lead to cracking, thereby reducing the durability of the concrete such as impermeability, frost resistance, and erosion resistance.
temperature deformation
Temperature deformation refers to the thermal expansion and contraction deformation of concrete as the temperature changes.
When the temperature changes greatly, it will have an impact on the concrete; in addition, the large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the concrete structure will also lead to temperature deformation of the concrete, which can easily cause temperature cracks in the concrete.
Deformation under short-term loading (elastoplastic deformation)
The deformation and damage of concrete under short-term load is mainly due to the occurrence of plastic degeneration of concrete, which causes internal cracks and gradually expands.
Deformation (creep) under long-term loading
The phenomenon that the deformation of concrete increases with time under continuous load is called creep.
concrete durability
Definition: The ability of concrete to resist the effects of environmental factors and maintain its good performance and appearance integrity, thereby maintaining the safety and normal use of the concrete structure, is called the durability of concrete.
1.Impermeability
Concept: Concrete impermeability - the ability of concrete to resist the penetration of pressure water. (It is not only related to the water-retaining and waterproofing effect of concrete, but also directly affects the frost resistance and erosion resistance of concrete.)
Water-binder ratio (W/B) → directly affects the impermeability of concrete.
For details, see Chapter 1: Material Durability
For C30 concrete with an impermeability grade of w8, its water-cement ratio should not be greater than (0.55). P94
2. Frost resistance
Concept: Frost resistance of concrete - refers to the ability of concrete to resist freeze-thaw cycles (center temperature of specimen [-18±2]℃~[5±2]℃) without damage when in a water-saturated state. Strength There is also no significant performance degradation.
Concrete anti-freeze grade: expressed by the maximum number of freeze-thaw cycles it can withstand when the relative dynamic elastic modulus drops to 60% of the initial value or the mass loss reaches 5% under saturated water conditions. Such as: F50, F100, F150, F200, F250, F300.
Water-binder ratio (W/B) → is the main factor affecting the frost resistance of concrete.
The main measures to improve the impermeability and frost resistance of concrete are ()
Improve construction technology and adopt a reasonable maintenance system to improve concrete density
Control the maximum water-cement ratio and minimum cement dosage
Reasonable selection of cement and aggregates
Add air-entraining agents to improve pore characteristics and reduce open connected pores
3. Anti-wear and anti-cavitation properties
Spillway concrete (suffered by sand-laden high-speed water flow), road pavement concrete (suffered from repeated impact loads and cyclic wear), etc., require high wear resistance.
For structures such as channels and spillways with uneven surfaces, sudden changes in section, or sharp turns, the concrete is required to have anti-cavitation properties to avoid cavitation when high-speed water flows through it, causing high-frequency, local, and Impact stress causes concrete erosion.
4.Corrosion resistance
When concrete is corroded by environmental water, the essence is that the cement stone structure is corroded.
5. Carbonization of concrete
CO2 in the air diffuses into the interior of the concrete through the capillary pores. In the presence of moisture, it reacts with Ca(OH)2 to form CaCO3, which reduces the concentration of Ca(OH)2 in the concrete, which is called "carbonization ( or neutral)".
Main factors affecting carbonization
CO2 concentration
High concentration → fast carbonization speed
environment humidity
Air with relative humidity of 50%-75% → carbonization is the fastest
Concrete mix ratio
Portland cement using mixed materials → poor carbonation resistance
Beneficial effects of carbonization
The CaCO3 generated by carbonization fills the pores → the density of concrete increases. Carbonization produces water → promotes further hydration of cement → improves the strength of concrete.
Adverse effects of carbonization
Reduce the alkalinity of concrete → weaken the protective effect of steel bars
Causes corrosion of steel bars
Causes the concrete to shrink → produce micro cracks on the surface.
Reduce the tensile and flexural strength of concrete.
Alkali-aggregate reaction
Excessive alkali in the raw materials of concrete will react with the active ingredients in the aggregate. The reaction products will absorb water and expand, causing internal stress in the concrete, causing the concrete to expand, crack, and lose design properties. This phenomenon is collectively called "alkali-active aggregate reaction" .
Soluble base (Na2o, K2o)
Alkali-carbonate reaction
Alkali-silicate reaction
① Excessive alkali content: The alkali content in concrete is high (For example, the alkali equivalent content of cement is >0.6% or the alkali content of concrete is >3kg/m3).
②Active aggregate: The aggregate contains active ingredients and exceeds a certain amount.
③Moisture: Humid environment, with sufficient supply of moisture or humid air.
Concrete expands, cracks, and even destroys
Precautions
① Try to choose inactive aggregates.
②Choose low-alkali cement and control the total alkali content in the concrete.
③ Add active admixtures into concrete.
④Improve the pore structure of concrete.
⑤Improve the use conditions and carry out protective treatment on the concrete surface.
Measures to improve the durability of concrete
① Check the quality of the constituent materials.
(Reasonably select cement varieties; use well-graded aggregates, and strictly control the content of harmful impurities.)
② Strictly control the water-cement ratio and ensure the amount of cement.
③Appropriately mix admixtures (such as water-reducing agents and air-entraining agents).
④ Check the construction quality.
Water-cement ratio is the most important factor affecting concrete (freeze resistance, impermeability, carbonation resistance, strength)
Water-cement ratio is too large → concrete strength and durability are reduced, and the mixture has poor water retention
concrete admixture
definition
Materials added during the concrete mixing process to improve the properties of fresh concrete and hardened concrete are called concrete admixtures
Classification of admixtures
①Admixtures used to improve the fluidity and hardening properties of concrete mixtures
②Admixtures that adjust the setting time and hardening properties of concrete
③Admixtures to improve the durability of concrete
④Admixtures that improve other properties of concrete
2. Selection and use of admixtures
Principles to be followed when mixing admixtures into concrete
Water-soluble admixtures: should be prepared into a solution of a certain concentration first and then added to the mixer with water.
Water-insoluble admixtures: should be mixed evenly with an appropriate amount of cement or sand, and then added to the mixer.
3. Adding method of admixtures
Incorporation methods of admixtures
① The effect of the co-mixing method is poor and the slump loss is large.
②Standing water mixing method
③Post-doping method
The effect is better and the slump loss is smaller.
"Concrete slump loss" - the phenomenon that the workability of a concrete mixture decreases as the concrete is parked for longer.
4. Storage, transportation and storage requirements for admixtures
① Invalid and unqualified admixtures are prohibited from use. ②Admixtures that have been stored for a long time and whose quality has not been tested are prohibited from use. ③Admixtures of different varieties and categories should be stored and transported separately. ④ Pay attention to moisture and waterproofing to avoid affecting the efficacy after getting damp. ⑤ Toxic admixtures must be stored separately and managed by dedicated personnel, and must not be used in drinking water projects, etc. ⑥ Admixtures with strong oxidizing properties must be stored sealed.

(2) Effect
①Improve the workability of concrete mixture
Improve fluidity and reduce bleeding.
②Improve the durability of concrete
It is helpful to improve the impermeability and frost resistance of concrete.
③The strength and wear resistance of concrete will be reduced
Comparison of applicability of air-entraining agent and water-reducing agent
Water reducing agent is more suitable for concrete with high strength requirements and low water-cement ratio.
Air-entraining agents are more suitable for: concrete with relatively high frost resistance requirements, Hydraulic mass concrete and other concrete that does not require high strength and has a large water-cement ratio
pumping agent
Pumping agents refer to admixtures that can improve the pumping performance of concrete mixtures.
Requirements for pumping concrete: large slump, good cohesion, low bleeding rate, etc.
Components: The special pumping agent is composed of fluidization component, air entrainment component, retardant component, and other components (such as early strength component, antifreeze component, etc.).
morning strength agent
Admixtures that accelerate the early strength development of concrete—early strength additives
The commonly used early strength agents in my country are mainly sodium sulfate admixtures. When using them, you should pay attention to the following issues:
1. Suitable for concrete construction in environments where the daily minimum temperature is not lower than -5℃; 2. It must be mixed with dry powder and the mixing time should be appropriately extended. When mixing, it should be mixed into cement and should not be added to wet sand and gravel. When there are agglomerates and coarse particles in the powder, it must be crushed and passed through a 30-mesh sieve. can be used.

Level II fly ash: mostly mechanical dust collection ash. Suitable for reinforced concrete and plain concrete. Level III fly ash: mainly used for plain concrete (but for plain concrete with design strength level >C30, the fly ash used should be Level I and II ash).
fly ash
Blending method
Equivalent substitution method
The blending method is to replace the equivalent amount of C (that is, keep the total amount of cementitious material unchanged) with all the fly ash incorporated.
The strength of concrete decreases in the early stage and at 28 days, but the strength in the later stage will gradually catch up with the benchmark concrete.
Save cement and improve the performance of concrete.
Additive method
While keeping the amount of c unchanged, the incorporated fly ash replaces the same volume of sand. (ie: fly ash instead of sand method)
The cohesion and water retention of the mixture are significantly improved, and the strength and impermeability of the concrete are improved.
excess substitution method
Part of the mixed fly ash replaces the same mass of cement and the other part replaces the same volume of sand.
Save cement while maintaining the workability and 28d strength of concrete
When reinforced concrete is mixed with fly ash, it is often also mixed with rust inhibitors; Fly ash concrete under low temperature conditions is suitable to be mixed with early strength agent or antifreeze agent at the same time.
The mixing technology of mixing admixtures and admixtures into concrete at the same time is called "double mixing technology".
Granulated blast furnace slag ash

Things to note when using silica fume:
① Silica fume concrete is prone to plastic cracking and early shrinkage, so early maintenance must be strengthened during the construction process.
② Silica fume requires a large amount of water. In order to maintain the fluidity of concrete after mixing, it must be used in conjunction with a high-efficiency water-reducing agent.
Concrete quality control
Concrete strength fluctuation rules and statistical parameters
Fluctuation pattern
Under normal construction conditions, concrete strength fluctuations conform to the normal distribution.
Quality uniformity and intensity statistical parameters
standard value
average value
Dispersion coefficient
The standard deviation of concrete strength σ or the dispersion coefficient Cv is an important parameter that determines the strength distribution characteristics. In construction quality control, σ or Cv can be used as an index to evaluate the uniformity of concrete.
Concrete strength guarantee rate and preparation strength
The probability p (%) that a strength value greater than or equal to the design strength appears in the overall concrete strength - strength guarantee rate
In order for concrete to have the strength guarantee rate required by engineering design, when designing the concrete mix proportion, the strength of the concrete preparation should be greater than the design strength.
When the design strength grade of concrete is <C60
(For ordinary concrete projects, P=95% is required, and the probability t=-1.645 at this time).
When the design strength grade of concrete is ≥C60:
Concrete construction quality management chart
If a continuous batch of ideas deviates significantly from the center line: it means that there are systematic changes in the construction, and the overall strength of the concrete has changed.
If a group of points gradually changes from high to low (or from low to high): the overall strength of the surface concrete is gradually changing.
If there are continuous points exceeding the control line (especially the lower control line): it means that there is a problem with the quality of the concrete, and the cause should be found out immediately and solved.
Inspection and evaluation of concrete strength
An acceptance batch of concrete should consist of concrete with the same strength level, the same age, and basically the same production process conditions and mix proportions.

3. Admixtures
When high-strength grade cement is used to prepare low-strength grade mortar → due to the small amount of cement, the mortar is prone to delamination, segregation and bleeding.
In order to improve the workability of mortar, save the amount of cementitious materials, and reduce the cost of mortar, certain admixtures can be added when preparing mortar. (Such as: ground quicklime, lime paste, gypsum, fly ash, clay paste, electrogypsum, etc.).
In the preparation of masonry mortar, the standard consistency of lime paste during trial preparation should be (120±5)mm.
4. Admixtures
In order to improve the workability of fresh mortar and the various properties of hardened mortar or to give the mortar some special properties, an appropriate amount of admixtures (such as water-reducing agent, air-entraining agent, micro-foaming agent, waterproofing agent) can be added to the mortar. wait).
5. Polymer
In concrete repair and reinforcement, adding certain polymers (such as epoxy resin, polyester resin, etc.) into the mortar can significantly improve the adhesion, toughness, impact resistance and durability of the mortar.
6. Water
Water for mixing mortar: The requirements for water for mixing concrete are the same.
A. Mortar in a dry environment can be prepared with either air-hardening cementitious materials (such as lime) or hydraulic cementitious materials (such as cement). B. Adding lime is mainly to improve the water retention of mortar. C. Masonry cement, which is specially used to prepare masonry mortar, cannot be used to prepare concrete. D. When preparing cement mortar, the cement should not be greater than grade 32.5; when preparing cement mixed mortar, the cement should not be greater than grade 42.5. E. Add admixtures such as lime and fly ash to building mortar. While reducing the cost of mortar, the main purpose is to improve the workability of mortar.
Main technical properties of construction mortar
Workability of mortar
Mortar with better workability should have a greater degree of sinking and less degree of delamination.
Compared with ordinary concrete, the constituent materials of cement mortar lack coarse aggregate. Therefore, the evaluation of cohesion is not involved in the evaluation of the workability of mortar.
fluidity
Measured with a mortar consistency meter, expressed in sinking degree (mm)
The fluidity of fresh mortar is expressed by the sinking degree (i.e. consistency value). For brick masonry construction in a dry climate, the sinking degree of the masonry mortar can be 80-90mm.
Porous water-absorbing masonry materials and hot and dry weather require greater fluidity of the mortar. For dense non-water-absorbent materials and humid and cold weather, less fluidity may be required.
The factors that affect the fluidity of masonry mortar are mainly the amount of cement, the thickness, gradation and particle shape of the sand, and the amount of water used.
The greater the mortar sinking degree, the better the fluidity.
Water retention
Measured with a delamination meter, expressed in delamination (mm)
Within the specified range, the smaller the delamination value, the better the water retention, but it should not be too small.
The layering degree of masonry mortar is preferably 10-20mm and not greater than 30mm.
Mortar with a large degree of layering is prone to segregation and is inconvenient for construction; Mortar with a degree of delamination close to zero has too strong water retention and is prone to shrinkage cracks during the hardening process of the mortar.
5. To improve the water retention of mortar, you can use
Increase the amount of cement, add fly ash, add lime paste, organic plasticizer, and air-entraining agent
Not advisable: Use high-strength grade cement
In order to improve the workability of masonry mortar and save the amount of cement, () is often added.
Lime paste, clay paste, fly ash
Before laying an ordinary brick wall, the bricks should generally be watered and moistened, and the purpose is ().
Prevent bricks from taking away a lot of moisture from the mortar
Maintain good workability of mortar
Increase the adhesion of mortar to bricks

The mortar strength is the ultimate compressive strength measured using a 70.7mm×70.7mm×70.7mm cube test block cured to 28 days of age under standard conditions.
Mortar strength grades are divided according to the average compressive strength.
·Cement mortar is divided into seven strength levels: M5, M7.5, M10, M15, M20, M25 and M30.
·Cement mixed mortar is divided into four grades: M5, M7.5, M10 and M15.
The strength grades of masonry mortar are divided into six grades: M20, M15, M10, M7.5, M5 and M2. 5.
Strength of mortar on non-absorbent base (dense stone masonry) , similar to concrete, mainly depends on cement strength and water-cement ratio.
When using water-absorbent substrates (such as bricks or other porous materials), The strength of mortar mainly depends on the cement strength grade and cement dosage.
Adhesion Bonding strength
·Masonry relies on mortar to bond block materials into a solid whole, so the mortar is required to have a certain bonding force.
·Influencing factors of mortar adhesion:
①The bonding force increases with the increase of compressive strength; ②The bonding force is related to the surface condition of the masonry;
③Related to the cleanliness and moisture conditions of the masonry surface; ④Related to construction and maintenance conditions ⑥Mortar strength
In ancient my country, glutinous rice juice and yellow rice juice were added to lime mortar to improve the adhesion of the mortar.

Compared with concrete, the strength of masonry mortar should be mainly considered (bonding strength) in addition to compressive strength.
Deformation performance and durability
Deformation performance (mortar is required to have smaller deformability):
Impact: Deformation of masonry mortar → will reduce the quality of the masonry and cause settlement or cracking. Deformation of the plastering mortar → will cause cracks or peeling of the plastering layer.
Improvement: In actual projects, the deformation performance of the mortar can be improved by adding anti-cracking materials to improve the plasticity and toughness of the mortar.
·Durability: Hardened mortar must withstand the physical and chemical effects of the surrounding medium together with the masonry blocks, so the mortar is required to have durability that is compatible with the use environment.
The addition of fiber materials such as hemp into building mortar has a good toughening effect, which can inhibit the volume shrinkage of the mortar and improve the crack resistance of the mortar.
apparent density of mortar
Cement mortar: apparent density should not be less than 1900 kg/m3.
Cement mixed mortar: apparent density should not be less than 1800 kg/m3.
Masonry mortar mix ratio
mix design
1. Calculate the mortar trial strength fm,o
The trial strength of mortar is calculated according to the following formula:
When designing the mix ratio of mortar, the probability t in the preparation strength formula should be (-0.645).
2 Determine water consumption Qw
The water consumption of mortar is generally 240~310kg/m3, which is selected according to the mortar consistency and other requirements.
3. Calculate cement dosage Qc
Masonry mortar for non-absorbent base surfaces:
Masonry mortar for absorbent base surfaces:
4. Calculate the dosage QD of admixtures
QD=QA-Qc
The total amount of cement and admixtures in each square of mortar QA: should be between 300 and 350 kg/m3.
5. Determine the amount of sand Qs in each square of mortar
The bulk density of dry sand (moisture content <0.5%) is the amount of dry sand in 1m3 mortar. [Use 1m³ of dry sand to mix 1m³ of mortar, and the moisture content of each m³ of mortar is less than 0.5% for 1m³].
Qs=1×Po'gan
6. Trial matching, adjustment and determination of mix ratio

Steel production methods
rolling
A pressure processing method in which the metal blank passes through the gap between a pair of rotating rolling rollers (in various shapes) and is compressed by the rolling rollers to reduce the cross-section and increase the length of the material.
It is the most commonly used production method for producing steel and is mainly used to produce profiles, plates, and pipes. Divided into cold rolling and hot rolling.
forging
A pressure processing method that uses the reciprocating impact of a forging hammer or the pressure of a press to change the blank into the required shape and size.
It is often used to produce materials with larger cross-sections such as large materials.
pull
It is a processing method that draws the rolled metal blank (shaped, tube, product, etc.) through the die hole into a reduced cross-section and increased length.
It is mostly used for cold processing.

Tensile properties
Yield Strength
In the design of steel structures, yield strength is the basis for determining the strength value of steel.
Low carbon steel: The stress corresponding to the following yield point is used as the yield strength.
Medium carbon steel and high carbon steel: take the stress when it produces 0.2% plastic deformation as the yield strength (ie, the conditional yield point s0.2).
tensile strength
Qu Qiangbi
Yield-strength ratio refers to the ratio of yield strength to tensile strength. It is an important indicator that reflects the utilization rate of steel strength and the safety and reliability of the structure.
The smaller the yield-to-strength ratio, the higher the safety and reliability of the structure, and vice versa. If the yield-to-strength ratio is too small, it indicates that the utilization rate of steel strength is low, resulting in a waste of steel.
The larger the yield-to-strength ratio, the higher the steel utilization rate, and vice versa.
The reasonable yield-to-strength ratio of building structural steel is generally 0.60~0.75
Plasticity
Elongation
Elongation d is an important indicator to measure the plasticity of steel. The larger d → the better the plasticity of steel.
d5 means steel L0=5d. (That is, the elongation when the ratio of the original gauge length L0 to the diameter d0 is 5).
The plasticity of steel is usually expressed by elongation and area reduction.
Among the following tests, cold bending and elongation are used to check the plasticity of steel.
Impact toughness
It refers to the ability of steel to resist impact loads without being damaged.
The impact toughness of the same steel often decreases as the temperature decreases. (cold brittle)
The chemical composition and internal structural conditions of steel have a great impact on impact toughness.
Fatigue resistance
Under the repeated action of alternating loads, steel often breaks when the maximum stress is far less than its tensile strength. This phenomenon is called the fatigue of steel.
hardness
It refers to the ability of a metal material to resist the pressure of hard objects into the surface within the local volume of the surface.
Process performance of steel
Cold bending performance
Refers to the ability of steel to withstand bending deformation at room temperature.
Indicators of cold bending test: ratio d/a of bending center diameter d to specimen (diameter); bending angle (90° or 180°); If there are no cracks, breaks or peeling at the bending point of the sample, the cold bending performance is qualified.
Weldability: refers to whether the steel is suitable for common welding methods and processes. The weldability of steel is affected by its chemical composition and content.
High carbon content, high sulfur content, high phosphorus content, etc. will reduce weldability. Carbon steel with a carbon content of less than 0.25% has good weldability.
Cold working performance and aging treatment
1. Cold working and strengthening treatment
Cold working and strengthening treatment: cold working such as cold drawing, cold drawing or cold rolling at room temperature. It is a process that causes plastic deformation to increase the yield strength, but the plasticity, toughness and elastic modulus of the steel will be reduced.
After cold drawing, cold drawing and other treatments, the plasticity and toughness of the steel are reduced. However, the yield strength and tensile strength are improved, thereby saving the amount of steel.
For steel bars that need to be cold drawn, welding should be performed before cold drawing.
2. Timeliness
After cold processing, the steel should be stored at room temperature for 15 to 20 days or heated to 100 to 200°C for about 2 hours. Its yield strength, tensile strength and hardness are further improved, while the plasticity and toughness are reduced. This phenomenon is called aging. The former is called natural aging, and the latter is called artificial aging.
Effect of chemical composition on steel properties
carbon
Carbon is the most important element that determines the properties of steel
When the carbon content in steel is below 0.8%, as the carbon content increases, the strength and hardness of the steel increase, while the plasticity and toughness decrease;
However, when the carbon content is above 1.0%, the strength of the steel decreases as the carbon content increases.
As the carbon content increases, the welding performance of steel becomes worse, the cold brittleness and aging sensitivity increase, and the atmospheric corrosion resistance decreases.
Cold brittleness - refers to the phenomenon that the impact value of metal materials is significantly reduced at low temperatures.
Thermal brittleness - refers to the phenomenon that the impact value of certain steel materials at room temperature drops significantly after staying in the temperature range of 400 to 500°C for a long time.
Silicon √
Silicon is a beneficial element in steel. When its content is controlled to <1.0%, the strength of steel can be improved without significant impact on plasticity and toughness.
Manganese√
Manganese, as a beneficial element in steel, is the main alloying element in low-alloy structural steel in my country.
Manganese has strong deoxidation and desulfurization capabilities, which can eliminate or reduce the thermal brittleness caused by oxygen and sulfur, greatly improve the hot processing performance of steel, and at the same time increase the strength and hardness of steel.
Sulfur ×
Sulfur is a harmful element in steel.
The presence of sulfur will increase the thermal brittleness of steel, reduce various mechanical properties of steel, and also reduce the weldability, impact toughness, fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance of steel.
Phosphorus ×
Phosphorus is a harmful element in steel.
As the phosphorus content increases, the strength, yield-to-strength ratio, and hardness of steel increase, while the plasticity and toughness decrease significantly. Significantly increases the cold brittleness of steel.
Phosphorus also significantly reduces the weldability of steel.
But phosphorus can improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of steel.
Oxygen ×
Oxygen is a harmful element in steel.
As the oxygen content increases, the strength of steel increases, but the plasticity, especially toughness, decreases significantly, and the weldability becomes worse.
The presence of oxygen can cause thermal brittleness of steel.
nitrogen
As the nitrogen content increases, the strength of the steel can be increased, the plasticity, especially the toughness, is significantly reduced, the weldability becomes worse, and the cold brittleness intensifies.
titanium
Titanium can significantly increase strength, improve toughness and weldability, but slightly reduce plasticity.
vanadium
Adding it to steel can weaken the adverse effects of carbon and nitrogen and effectively increase the strength, but it will also increase the tendency of welding to be brittle and hard.

asphalt
asphalt
Components
As time goes by, the three major components in petroleum asphalt gradually change: (). Oil→Resin→Asphaltene
structure
Petroleum asphalt is a colloidal structure.
Dispersed phase (colloidal particles): asphaltenes adsorbing part of the resin; Dispersion medium: oil with dissolved resin.
According to the different chemical composition and relative content of each component in asphalt, it can be divided into: sol type structure, gel structure, and sol-gel structure.
In the construction of asphalt concrete pavement on a certain highway, asphalt with () structure should be used.
Sol-gel type
Asphalt with sol-gel structure: It has low temperature sensitivity at high temperatures and good deformation ability at low temperatures.
Therefore, asphalt with this structure is mostly used for highway construction.
technical nature
viscosity
meaning
It is the ability of asphalt materials to resist viscous deformation under the action of external forces.
Influencing factors
component; temperature
Evaluation index
sticky asphalt
Penetration: a standard needle of a certain mass G within a certain temperature T and a certain time t Depth P of cone into asphalt sample (unit 1/10mm)
liquid asphalt
"Standard viscosity (viscosity)": commonly expressed as outflow time At a certain test temperature T, the time C takes for 50ml of asphalt to flow out from a flow hole of a certain diameter d.
The greater the penetration, the smaller the viscosity of the viscous petroleum asphalt; The greater the standard viscosity, the greater the viscosity of liquid petroleum asphalt.
Plasticity
meaning
It is the property that the asphalt material deforms without being damaged under the action of external force. After the external force is removed, it can still maintain the deformed shape. →It reflects to a certain extent the self-healing ability of asphalt after cracking.
Influencing factors
Composition; temperature; thickness of asphalt film layer
Evaluation index
Ductility → The length that the asphalt sample stretches when it breaks when stretched in a water tank at a specified temperature at a rate of 50mm/min.
temperature sensitivity
meaning
Refers to the degree to which the viscosity and plasticity of asphalt are affected by temperature changes. →Asphalt with high temperature sensitivity quickly becomes soft and flows when the temperature rises; when the temperature drops, it easily becomes brittle and damaged.
When the temperature rises and falls within a certain range and the viscosity and plasticity of petroleum asphalt change little, it means that the temperature stability of the asphalt is good.
Influencing factors
Components
Asphaltene is the largest component that determines the heat resistance (temperature sensitivity) of petroleum asphalt. The greater its content, the higher the softening point of the asphalt.
Evaluation index
"Softening point" (the temperature at which asphalt goes from a solid state to "a certain viscous flow state {that is, the penetration value of asphalt at the softening point temperature is 800}"). →Measurement using the "ball and ball method": heating glycerin or water at a speed of 5C/min, the water temperature T (C) when a steel ball with f=9.53mm and G=3.5g droops 25.4mm.
"Penetration index PI":PI=30/(1 50A)-10, Where A=[Ig800-Ig(25°C,100g,5s)]/[T-25]. →The larger the PI value, the smaller the temperature sensitivity of asphalt.
Improvements
In engineering, when using asphalt, talcum powder, lime powder or other mineral fillers are often added to reduce its temperature sensitivity.
atmospheric stability
meaning
The performance of asphalt remains stable (without significant deterioration) under the long-term combined effects of heat, air, sunlight and other factors.
Influencing factors
Ultraviolet light; heat; water; oxygen; oxidizing agent; stress.
Evaluation index: (heating at 160°C for 5 hours)
evaporation loss
=(Original mass of asphalt sample - Mass after heating)/Original mass of asphalt × 100%.
penetration ratio
= Penetration of asphalt sample after heating/Original penetration of asphalt × 100%.
The smaller the evaporation loss rate or the larger the penetration ratio, the better the atmospheric stability of the asphalt, that is, the better the aging resistance.
construction safety
·The flash point of asphalt: refers to heating the asphalt sample until the volatilized flammable gas is mixed with air. The temperature (expressed in °C) when a blue flame that goes out instantly appears on the test liquid surface when it comes into contact with a flame under specified conditions.
·The ignition point of asphalt: it is to heat the asphalt sample until the volatilized flammable gas is mixed with air. The temperature of the sample (expressed in °C) when it can continue to burn for no less than 5 seconds when in contact with flame under specified conditions.
Summarize
The temperature sensitivity (temperature stability) of asphalt is generally evaluated by softening point or penetration index.
Penetration: used to evaluate the viscosity of viscous petroleum asphalt.
Penetration ratio: used to evaluate the atmospheric stability of asphalt.
Ductility: used to evaluate the plasticity of asphalt.
Penetration ratio and evaporation loss percentage: are evaluation indicators that reflect the aging resistance of asphalt (ie, atmospheric stability).
Technical indicators
Technical indicators of petroleum asphalt
The grades of petroleum asphalt are divided according to the penetration index. At the same time, the asphalt of each grade must also meet the corresponding requirements of indicators such as ductility and softening point.
The higher the asphalt grade
The greater the penetration → the smaller the viscosity
The greater the ductility → the better the plasticity
The lower the softening point → the greater the temperature sensitivity (i.e. the worse the temperature stability (heat resistance))
The softer the asphalt
Three major technical indicators
In the asphalt penetration test, the test conditions that require special attention are (test temperature).
If the test temperature increases, the asphalt will become softer, so the measured penetration value will increase. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the test temperature during the asphalt penetration test (the standard temperature specified in the specification is 25°C)
Selection of petroleum asphalt
temperature
① For parts in "warm areas, susceptible to sunlight or severe heat": In order to prevent the asphalt from being excessively softened by heat, → asphalt with "smaller markings" should be selected.
② In "cold areas" and in locations that are "exposed to the sun in summer and freezing in winter": not only softening by heat but also low-temperature embrittlement must be considered, → so it is appropriate to choose "medium grade" asphalt.
③ For some parts that are not easily affected by temperature (such as expansion joints, asphalt water stop wells): → You can choose asphalt with a "larger number".
④When there is a lack of asphalt of the required grade, asphalt of different grades can be blended with each other.
For roof waterproofing layer
It is required to have good adhesion, temperature stability and atmospheric stability. Therefore, the softening point of the asphalt is required to be 20°C higher than the highest local roof temperature reached over the years to ensure that it does not flow during high temperatures in summer. But it should not be too high, otherwise it will easily become hard, brittle or even crack when the temperature is low in winter.
Asphalt used for underground moisture-proof and waterproof projects:
It is required to have high viscosity, good plasticity and toughness, but does not have high requirements for temperature stability and atmospheric stability.
Petroleum asphalt intended to be used as pavement material for road projects should be given priority when selecting ().
"Asphalt with large ductility and moderate softening point" is a road engineering pavement material.
Reason: "Asphalt with a large ductility value" has good plasticity, so it is not easy to cause damage when deformed by force. "Asphalt with a moderate softening point" has the characteristics of not easily brittle at low temperatures and not easy to flow at high temperatures.
Blending of asphalt
When blending, attention should be paid to following the principle of homology (that is, only those belonging to the same petroleum asphalt or coal asphalt can be blended).
Therefore, it is not advisable to mix coal pitch into petroleum asphalt to improve its anti-corrosion properties.
When two different grades of asphalt are blended, the dosage is calculated as follows:
Asphalt
Asphalt mixture is a general term for mixtures made of mineral materials and asphalt binder. The mineral material plays the role of skeleton, and the asphalt and filler (such as limestone powder, slag powder, etc.) play the role of cementing and filling.
Asphalt mixture is mainly used in road pavement, hydraulic anti-seepage, building waterproofing and other projects.

Asphalt concrete has good impermeability, good flexibility and self-healing closing functions. It is very suitable as a hydraulic anti-seepage body (anti-seepage core wall, anti-seepage panel, etc.) that needs to withstand uneven deformation. Hydraulic asphalt concrete refers to the general term for asphalt concrete used in water conservancy and hydropower projects.
3. Asphalt mortar
Asphalt mortar: It is an asphalt mixture made of asphalt materials, mineral fillers and sand.
Hot asphalt mortar: It is made by first preparing asphalt materials and mineral powder into asphalt cement, and then adding sand at 140~160℃ and mixing well. The temperature during use is 160~180℃ to facilitate dense pouring.
Cold asphalt mortar: It is prepared with liquid asphalt or emulsified asphalt. The mineral materials do not need to be heated and dried, and have the advantages of safe and convenient construction.
4. Asphalt glue
Asphalt glue: It is a colloidal material prepared by mixing an appropriate amount of mineral powder or part of fibrous filler into asphalt. Commonly used mineral fillers mainly include talc powder, limestone powder and asbestos.
Asphalt glue is mainly used for pasting membranes, caulking, joints, leak repair, making the bottom layer of waterproof layer and the sealing layer of hydraulic asphalt concrete anti-seepage panel, etc.
Asphalt glue is used as the sealing layer of hydraulic asphalt concrete anti-seepage structure, which can increase surface density, delay aging and increase anti-seepage performance.

·Asphalt has a dense structure, good plasticity and adhesion, and has properties such as non-conductivity, non-water absorption, impermeability, and resistance to acid and alkali corrosion.
·Asphalt is insoluble in water, but soluble in a variety of organic solutions.
Asphalt Applications
·Mainly used for roofing, underground and underwater waterproofing projects, anti-corrosion projects, paving roads and airport runways, etc.
