Lightweight Aggregate Shotcrete: Part 1

摘要

In this paper, preliminary research on lightweight aggregate shotcrete is carried out. The main discussion is the pumpability and sprayability of light aggregate injection by single-mixed and complex-doped mineral admixture, and the different dosages and different types are studied. The effect of mineral admixture on the physical and mechanical properties of lightweight aggregate shotcrete. The results show that the small amount of fly ash, silica fume and nano-silica can prevent the segregation and bleeding of the mixture. With the increase of the content of silica fume and nano-silica, the pumpability can be reduced. At the same time, the sprayability is increased. It has also been found that, due to the difference in particle size, the mutual complementation of particles between the complex mineral admixtures in terms of physical and mechanical properties results in a significant increase in sprayability and strength.
