Influence of mineral additives on rheological properties of fresh concrete |
Secondary abstract: |
The purpose of the research was to examine the influence of mineral admixture on the rheological properties of fresh concrete mixtures. Rheological properties of fresh concrete mixtures were obtained in three ways, with well known methods slump test and flow table test and with yet fairly non-established coaxial cylindrical rheometer ConTec Viscometer 5. Rheometer is a better and modern way to detect such properties of fresh concrete. Recently the approach has become indispensable, due to growing demands for quality of cast concrete and for adequate design of self-compacting and highly-flowable concrete mixtures. Slump test and flow table test do not provide enough information about rheological properties for this kind of special concrete. We researched the impact of three mineral additives: micro silica, tuff and granulated blast furnace slag, as well as the impact of water-cement ratio, which is a key factor in concrete. We also researched the influence of super-plasticizer, because concrete needs to be in proper workability, which is necessary for proper measurements. We analyzed the influence of mineral admixtures on the rheological properties of concrete over time and their effect on mechanical properties according to their share in the concrete. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
Namen opravljenih preiskav je bil raziskati vpliv mineralnih dodatkov na reološke lastnosti svežih betonskih mešanic. Lastnosti svežih betonskih mešanic smo pridobili na tri načine, s klasičnima metodama preizkusa z razlezom in preizkusa s posedom ter s še dokaj neuveljavljenim koaksialnim valjastim reometrom ConTec Viscometer 5. Reometer predstavlja boljši in modernejši način za ugotavljanje lastnosti svežih betonov. To je v zadnjem času ob vse večjih zahtevah po kakovostni vgradnji betona ter ustreznem projektiranju samozgoščevalnih in lahkovgradljivih betonov nujno potrebno, saj uveljavljeni metodi razleza in poseda ne podata dovolj informacij. Obravnavali smo vpliv treh mineralnih dodatkov: mikrosilike, tufa in granulirane plavžne žlindre, poleg tega pa tudi vpliv vodo-cementnega razmerja, ki je ključni faktor v betonu in vpliv super-plastifikatorja, ker smo ga zaradi boljše obdelavnosti betona, ki je potrebna za ustrezno meritev dodali vsem mešanicam z mineralnimi dodatki. Analizirali smo vpliv mineralnih dodatkov na mehanske lastnosti sveže betonske mešanice po času ter njihov vpliv na reološke lastnosti glede na njihov delež v betonu. |
