Study on the Performance Control and Preparation of Micro-expansion and Self-compacting Concrete Coated with Steel Pipe
With the continuous improvement of construction quality standard in China,the shortcom-ings of ordinary concrete,which is not suitable for vibration in the environment of dense steel rein-forcement,have gradually appeared.The main tower of Sichuan Kahalo Jinsha River Bridge has a thin wall of steel pipe wrapping and dense reinforcement,and ordinary concrete cannot meet the construc-tion quality requirements,so it is necessary to realize full filling of the formwork through self-compac-ting concrete to ensure the appearance quality.Based on the background of Sichuan Kahalo Jinsha Riv-er Bridge project,the design of self-compacting concrete proportion was explored,and the early crack-ing susceptibility of self-compacting concrete was determined by using the flat-plate method.The re-sults show that adding 10%CEA expansion agent,the field application effect is better,and the 28 day compressive strength is 39.2 MPa with an increase of 10.7%.The average cracking area is less than 10 mm2,the number of cracks per unit area is less than 10,which meets the Class Ⅰ crack resistance standard and the engineering quality requirements.
