Influence of Silane-Modified Coal Gangue Ceramsite on Properties of Ultra-High-Performance Concrete
Source abstract
Abstract
In this study, a kind of sustainable ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) was designed by using coal gangue ceramsite (CGC) and a modified Andreasen–Andersen model. However, when CGC lightweight aggregate with high water absorption is used in UHPC with a low water–cement ratio, CGC has an adverse effect on the working performance of UHPC and may lead to the decrease of mechanical properties. This study found that a 5% silane coupling agent KH560 can make CGC hydrophobic, and cause its contact angle to increase from 0° to 111.32°. Adding 100% hydrophobic modified CGC into UHPC will significantly improve its working performance, with the highest increase of 38.51%. At the same time, the addition of 20% modified CGC can further improve the compressive strength of UHPC (28 days reached 150.1 MPa), reduce the internal porosity by 21.4%, and make the interface bond more compact. In addition, the hydration degree of UHPC has also been improved, a result caused by the cement obtaining more free water for a more complete hydration reaction. This study can provide a new scheme for solving the problem of the solid waste of coal gangue.
