Structure and Properties of Concrete for Injection with Two-Stage Expansion
Often, when it is necessary to fill formwork space in confined working conditions with limited operational control in some engineering solutions the special materials for injection are used. In this case, it is advisable to use high-fluidity concrete mixes made with К-cement, regulator of the kinetics of structure formation, superplasticizer and gas-forming admixture. The gas-forming admixture obtains of expansion of fresh-concrete during first stage. The special sulfo-alumina additive in K-cement obtains of expansion of hardening concrete during second stage. The main regularities in the formation of the structure and properties of cement stone are considered. The dependences "composition-technology-structure-properties" for concretes with two-stage expansion are clarified. The main provisions for determination of mix proportion for concrete are proposed. The quantitative relationships between the construction properties of concretes and prescription and technological factors are obtained.
