Study on the Influence of the Quality and Dosage of Bentonite on the Mechanical Properties of Concrete
The incorporation of bentonite into concrete can significantly change its mechanical properties.Three kinds of bentonite are selected in this test,with the amount of 1%,2%,3%and 4%for standard curing,test the compressive strength,split tensile strength and electric flux of concrete test block,and compare the performance of bentonite concrete with the same mix ratio.The results show that 1%to 4%ben-tonite can effectively improve the compressive strength and split tensile strength value of the concrete test block,and the strength has two peaks at 1%and 3%,showing obvious fluctuation trend.Different kinds of bentonite showed significant differences on their mechanical properties under the same bentonite content.When the amount of bentonite is 2%,the electrical flux value of the three kinds of concrete test mixed with bentonite is the minimum.
