powder and steel slag powder are widely used as supplementary cementitious materials in modern concrete.However,for UHPC and self-compacting concrete,an extremely low water/binder(W/B)ratio is on one hand a key factor in achieving ultra-high strength and ultra-low porosity of the materials,on the other hand,also leads to the deterioration of the rheological properties of the fresh paste.Meanwhile,the existing researches focus on the influence of single limestone powder or steel slag powder on the mechanical properties or microstructure of cement-based materials.Little work on the influence of steel slag powder or limestone powder on the rheological properties of composite paste at an extremely low water/binder ratio has been investigated quantitatively.The mechanism of the effect of steel slag powder or limestone powder on the rheological properties of composite paste at extremely low water/binder ratios is still unclear.In this work,the effects of steel slag powder and limestone powder on the rheological properties of composite paste at different low water/binder ratios were analyzed via determining the flow diameter,setting time,marsh cone flow time,rheological parameters,and total organic carbon content.Methods A composite paste was prepared with P.I 42.5 ordinary Portland cement,steel slag powder,limestone powder,blast furnace slag and silica fume as raw materials in a certain proportion.To achieve the preparation of composite paste with extremely low water/binder ratios,a polycarboxylate superplasticizer with a water/reducing rate of 40%(Jiangsu Subot New Materials Co.,Ltd.,China)was used.The dosage of polycarboxylate superplasticizer for the composite paste with different water/binder ratios of 0.16 and 0.21 was 2%and 0.8%,respectively.Composite pastes with different proportions of steel slag powder or limestone powder at water/binder ratios of 0.16 and 0.21 were prepared.The flow diameter(i.e.,the larger the flow diameter,the better the fluidity),setting time(i.e.,the time when the fluidity is lost)and marsh cone flow time(i.e.,the shorter the flow time,the better the fluidity)were determined to analyze the fluidity of the composite pastes.the rheological properties of composite paste at a water/binder ratio of 0.16 for rheological properties tests were determined,and the rheological parameters were obtained by the H-B model.The adsorption performance of the polycarboxylate superplasticizer was analyzed by testing the TOC content.Results and discussion When the ratio of water/binder is 0.16,both limestone powder and steel slag powder initially increase the flow diameter of the composite paste.However,the fluidity of the composite paste decreases over time,and the reduction is more pronounced with steel slag powder.This is because the nucleation and hydration promotion effect of limestone powder can reduce the loss rate of flow diameter,while the rough particles of steel slag powder increase the internal friction force,resulting in a decrease in the flow diameter of composite paste.Adding limestone powder and steel slag powder both shortens the setting time and marsh cone flow time of the composite paste.However,the steel slag powder addition of 30%delays the final setting time due to its delaying effect.Also,limestone powder can enhance the thixotropy and reduce the yield stress and plastic viscosity,thereby improving the rheological properties.In contrast,steel slag powder can increase the yield stress and plastic viscosity,thereby weakening the rheological properties and thixotropy.Steel slag powder and limestone powder both can enhance the adsorption effect of polycarboxylate superplasticizer.Steel slag powder has a stronger adsorption effect.The composite paste containing limestone powder has a higher free water content.This is because the rough and porous surface of steel slag itself and the uneven particle shape lead to the physical adsorption of polycarboxylate superplasticizer molecules on the surface of steel slag particles,thereby reducing the effective content of the water reducer dispersion.Increasing the water/binder ratio to 0.21 results in a decrease in the flow diameter of the composite paste.Furthermore,the setting time and marsh cone flow time can prolong due to the reduction in the dosage of polycarboxylate superplasticizer.Conclusions The results showed that the fluidity loss rate of composite paste with limestone powder could be lower than that of composite paste with steel slag powder.Compared to steel slag powder,the addition of limestone powder reduced the setting time and marsh cone flow time of the composite paste.The addition of limestone powder could shorten the yield stress and plastic viscosity of the composite paste.Therefore,the composite paste with limestone powder had better rheological properties and stronger thixotropy rather than that with steel slag powder.The addition of limestone powder could improve the rheological properties of the composite paste.Compared to composite paste with limestone powder,a better adsorption effect of polycarboxylate superplasticizer on the surface of the composite binder with steel slag powder could be obtained.The free water content of the composite paste with limestone powder was still higher than that of the composite paste with steel slag powder.The fluidity and rheological properties of the composite paste with limestone powder could be better.The comprehensive analysis indicated that a positive effect of limestone powder on rheological properties of composite paste at an extremely low water/binder ratio could be more dominant than that of steel slag powder.展开更多

The improved des...An improved design method of pervious concrete was proposed to lower the deviation between the designed and actual porosity and maintain both mechanical property and permeability of pervious concrete. The improved design method is mainly based on the optimal volume ratio of paste to aggregate(VRPA), which was determined by testing the average thickness of cement paste coating aggregate. The performances of pervious concrete designed by the traditional method and the improved one were compared. The results show that with the increase of designed porosity, the reduction of compressive strength and flexural strength of pervious concrete designed by the improved method is significantly smaller than those designed by the traditional one. The maximum deviation between the designed and actual porosity of the pervious concrete by the improved method is only 1.54%, which is far less than 8.7% obtained by the traditional one. Micro-structural analysis shows that the porous distribution of pervious concrete designed by improved method exhibits better uniformity.展开更多

The specimens include cube specimens and prism specimens with height to width ratio of 2. The experiment results show that size effect exists in the cubic compressive strength and prismatic compressive strength of the cement paste, and larger specimens resist less in terms of strength than smaller ones. The cubic compressive strength and the prismatic compressive strength of the specimens with side length of 200 mm are respectively about 91% and 89% of the compressive strength of the specimens with the side length of 40 mm. Water to binder ratio has a significant influence on the size effect of the compressive strengths of the cement paste. With a decrease in the water to binder ratio, the size effect is significantly enhanced. When the water to binder ratio is 0.2, the size effects of the cubic compressive strength and the prismatic compressive strength of the cement paste are 1.6 and 1.4 times stronger than those of a water to binder ratio of 0.6. Furthermore, a series of formulas are proposed to calculate the size effect of the cubic compressive strength and the prismatic compressive strength of cement paste, and the results of the size effect predicted by the formulas are in good agreement with the experiment results.展开更多

The results indicated that for the same aggregate, the rates of strength reduction due to the increases in void ratio were the same for binders with different strengths. To study the influence of aggregate size, 3 single size aggregates with nominal sizes of 5.0, 13.0 and 20.0 mm （Nos. 7, 6 and 5 according to JIS A 5001） were used to make porous concrete. The strengths of porous concrete are found to be dependent on aggregate size. The rate of strength reduction of porous concrete with small aggregate size is found to be higher than that with larger aggregate size. At the same void ratio, the strength of porous concrete with large aggregate is larger than that with small aggregate. The general equations for porous concrete are related to compressive strength and void ratio for different binder strengths and aggregate sizes.展开更多

Effects of the cement paste fluidity on workability of the porous ecological concrete were investigated,and influences of the water-cement ratio,the aggregate-cement ratio and the aggregate size on compressive strength and porosity of the porous ecological concrete were also discussed. Results show that for preparation of the porous ecological concrete,the aggregates should be enveloped with neat cement paste,and recommended fluidity of the cement paste is 200～235 mm. With the increasing of the aggregate-cement ratio,porosity of the porous ecological concrete increases while the 28 d compressive strength decreases. With increasing of the water-cement ratio,porosity of the porous ecological concrete decreases. And relationship between compressive strength and water-cement ratio of the porous ecological concrete does not follow Bolomey's formula. As a result of this study the porous ecological concrete is prepared,its porosity is 38.93%,the water absorption is 11.39% and the compressive strength is 1.14 MPa.展开更多
