Study on Slump and Compressive Strength of Gangue Based on Aggregate Size Gradation

In order to solve the ecological environment pollution caused by a large amount of coal gangue accumulation and the problems of poor conveying performance and low support strength of paste filling materials. Based on the standard slump test and uniaxial compressive strength test, the slump and compressive strength (post-coagulation) of gangue paste under different aggregate size aggregations were obtained through orthogonal experiments in this study. The results show that the slump of the gangue filling paste with four types of aggregate size gradations is negatively correlated with the mass fraction, and the slump of the filling paste with a coarser aggregate content is more obviously affected by the mass fraction The increase of fine aggregate content has a significant impact on the compressive strength of the filling paste, which shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. When the mixing ratio of coarse aggregate and fine aggregate is 5:5, the compressive strength of the paste reaches the best. In addition, different proportions of aggregate mixing cause the filling paste to form different skeleton structures, including the skeleton void structure at 7:3 or 6:4, the skeleton dense structure at 5:5, and the skeleton suspension structure at 4:6, which are decisive for the final performance of the paste. By analyzing the experimental results of the compressive strength and slump of the gangue filling paste, it was found that the relationship between the compressive strength and slump of the gangue filling paste is a power index function. Through data fitting, it was found that the regression coefficient of the fitting function is no less than 0.97, and the fitting effect is good for evaluating the strength of the filling paste under the aggregate size grading.
