在这项研究中,提出了一种 SMA 纤维的表面改性方法,以改善水泥基复合材料中纤维的界面性能。SMA 纤维涂有 SiO 2,预计会与 Ca(OH) 2反应由水泥水化形成,减少了薄弱区的可能性,并在纤维-基体界面处形成了更致密的微观结构。采用扫描电子显微镜 (SEM)、能量色散光谱 (EDS) 和红外吸收光谱 (IR) 对表面改性后的 SMA 纤维进行表征。此外,还进行了抗弯强度试验、抗压强度试验和四点弯曲试验,以评价宏观尺度上界面力学性能的增强情况。实验结果表明,包覆的 SiO 2,导致改性 SMA 纤维-水泥界面处的 CSH 凝胶量增加和孔隙率降低。改性后的SMA纤维与水泥基体之间的紧密粘附有利于建立更强的界面结合力,有利于提高抗弯强度、抗压强度、四点抗弯强度和挠度。抗弯强度、抗压强度、四点抗弯强度和挠度均在28d时显着增加。结果支持了所提出的表面改性方法适用于 SMA 纤维以提高其在工程水泥基材料中的增强效率的结论。

Investigation On The Properties Of Calcium Sulfoaluminate Cement Waterproof Repair Mortar Modified With Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate Powder, Dong Dong

International Conference on Durability of Concrete Structures

本文采用乙烯-醋酸乙烯酯(EVA)粉体和CSA水泥制备了防水修复砂浆,并对其水化和性能进行了研究。结果表明,EVA粉体延长了凝固时间,提高了防水修补砂浆的流动性,使其在实际工程中更容易应用。EVA粉提高了防水修复砂浆的不渗透性,降低了吸水性。虽然EVA粉降低了防水修补砂浆的抗弯强度和抗压强度,但它仍然符合JC/T 2381-2016标准对刚性修复砂浆的要求。EVA粉体降低了防水修复砂浆的收缩率,改善了界面过渡区和拉伸粘接强度、弯曲粘接强度等粘接性能。EVA粉末抑制CSA水泥的水合作用6 h,在3 d水化年龄时抑制作用消失。


Shrinkage And Durability Of Cement Mortars With Recycled Aggregates, Wencui Yang 2022 Purdue University

Shrinkage And Durability Of Cement Mortars With Recycled Aggregates, Wencui Yang

International Conference on Durability of Concrete Structures

In recent years, the rapid growth of economy and urbanization process in China resulted in the massive construction and demolition wastes (C&DW). The reutilization of C&DW as recycled aggregates (RA) fully or partially to replace natural aggregates is an effective way to solve the environmental and economic problems caused by C&DW. The properties of cement mortars could be influenced by recycled fine aggregates due to their high absorption and the quantity of fine particles. This paper presents the main results of the research to explore the effect of recycled aggregate (RA) on shrinkage and durability properties of masonry mortars. Four …

Investigation On Structural Heritability And Durability Of High Sulfate Resistance Portland Cement Mortar Modified By Aluminum Salt, Jun Xu

International Conference on Durability of Concrete Structures

The essential hydration and hardened properties of high sulfate resistance Portland cement paste/mortar were investigated with Al2(SO4)3 as admixture. Experiment results showed that that the addition of Al2(SO4)3 promoted the hydration of HSRP cement pastes, and the hydration rate accelerated with the increase of the addition amount. The mechanical properties and chloride diffusion coefficient of cement mortar were obviously improved with 0.25% Al2(SO4)3 addition . For instance, the compressive strength of AS0.25 cement mortars was 24.8% higher than AS0 samples and the chloride ion migration …

Production Of Low-Cost Self-Consolidating Concrete (Scc) Using Manufactured Aggregates, Rabab Raydan, Farah Chamseddine, Ali Jahami, Oussama Baalbaki, Jamal Khatib, Adel Elkordi

BAU Journal - Science and Technology

Limitations to the sources of aggregates and the unavailability of sand is becoming a problematic issue for concrete production. A novel technology of manufactured aggregates can produce well graded round aggregates that can substitute natural aggregates while maintaining the same characteristics needed and preserving the resources. Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) using manufactured aggregates is assessed in this experimental work to understand the variability of workability properties and mechanical properties with the changes in w/c ratio and percentages of Coarse Aggregates and Manufactured Sand to Natural Sand in order to choose the best mixture that satisfies an adequate overall performance. Targeting compressive …


Hydration Kinetics, Microstructure, And Mechanical Strength Development Of Cement-Based Composites Incorporating Phase Change Materials, Afshin Marani 2022 The University of Western Ontario

Hydration Kinetics, Microstructure, And Mechanical Strength Development Of Cement-Based Composites Incorporating Phase Change Materials, Afshin Marani

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

The research conducted in this thesis investigates the effects of phase change materials (PCMs) on the hydration kinetics and strength development of cement-based composites using extensive experimental and numerical analyses. Purposefully, the effect of microencapsulated PCMs (MPCMs) on the strength development of cement-based mortars and concretes was evaluated using powerful machine learning models trained with the largest available experimental data. Furthermore, a novel ternary machine learning approach was proposed to optimize the mixture design of mortars and concretes based on the thermos-physical properties of the MPCMs. The results obtained from machine learning simulations suggest the assessment of the effects of …


Investigation Of The Effects Of Cladding Layers On Longitudinal And Transverse Mechanical Properties In Composite Laminates, Rachel Potratz, Tiffany Foo, Joseph Kamlet 2022 California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo

Investigation Of The Effects Of Cladding Layers On Longitudinal And Transverse Mechanical Properties In Composite Laminates, Rachel Potratz, Tiffany Foo, Joseph Kamlet

Materials Engineering

The addition of cladding layers to composite laminates is used in industry to improve bond adhesion and the ease of manufacturing. However, there is no public data on the effects of cladding layers on the mechanical properties of composite components. To directly observe how cladding layers affect mechanical properties, four laminates with zero, one, two, and three cladding layers of twill fabric were added symmetrically to a biased core. The mechanical testing performed was tensile, short beam strength, and compression testing in the longitudinal and transverse directions. The measured strengths were related to the longitudinal properties of the core, and …

Evaluating The Effects Of Granulated Rubber And Glass Fibers In Polymer Concrete As A Structural Material For Wafer Grinding Machines, Kevin Gabriel Kuehn, Philip Randall Streeter

Materials Engineering

Polymer concrete is a composite material used to replace cast iron and steel in wafer grinding machines for vibration damping. During the grinding and lapping processes of manufacturing silicon wafers, excessive vibrations may cause subsurface damage which requires additional polishing and reduces yield. Nine compositions containing various levels of granulated rubber and glass fibers were manufactured. CRM WRF-10 granulated rubber was examined at 0%, 5%, and 10% and Corning Cem-Fil glass fibers were added at 0%, 0.5%, and 1% by weight. Smooth-On EpoxAcast 690 epoxy resin was held constant at 16% for each composition. Crushed granite aggregate from Martin Marietta, …

Dynamic Response Of Elastic Two-Story Steel Moment Frame Scaled Structure Equipped With Viscous Dampers, Garrett L. Barker, Alexander L. Poirier

Architectural Engineering

The authors of this report are Architectural Engineering undergraduate students at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Damping is a complex, experimentally derived value that is affected by many structural properties and has a profound effect on the dynamic response of structures. Deducing the inherent damping of a steel moment frame and affecting the damping ratio with viscous dampers are two topics explored in this paper. Dampers are commonly implemented in resilient structures that perform better in a design basis earthquake, reducing the seismic cost and downtime. Undergraduate coursework does not delve into the factors that affect damping and …

A Review Of Current Construction Guidelines To Inform The Design Of Rammed Earth Houses In Seismically Active Zones, David Thompson, Charles Augarde, Juan Pablo Osorio

Articles

Sustainability in the materials we use for construction is a prime concern, focusing on reducing the embodied energy and carbon footprints of the materials used. The cement used in concrete products is responsible for a significant proportion of Man's CO2 emissions and its production requires substantial energy input, as do fired clay products. For this reason, products formed from unfired earthen materials are of increasing interest and the current challenges include devising means of robust design for strength and to address durability concerns. One form of earthen construction that employs an in-situ method is rammed earth, and it is a …
