The project used graphite tailings as a filler to prepare graphite tailings foamed concrete. Mainly studied the physical properties, mechanical properties and thermal properties of the foam concrete by graphite tailings, also studied the combination of polypropylene fiber and glass fiber influence of foam concrete compressive strength and cracking strength. The experimental results show that in the case of the same dry density grade, adding 20% graphite tailings can make the foam concrete strength reach its peak. When the water-binder ratio is 0.65 and the self-made chemical foaming agent content is 7%, the optimal total fiber volume blending rate is 0.18%, and the blending ratio of polypropylene fiber and glass fiber is 2:1. The compounding of polypropylene fiber and glass fiber can improve the flexural performance of foam concrete, which is not conducive to the thermal insulation performance of foam concrete, but the test results are still better than industry standards.
Four different size of concrete cube (70 mm3, 100 mm3, 150 mm3, and 200 mm3) of geopolymer recycled aggregate concrete (GRAC) were prepared by replacing cement with geopolymer and natural aggregate with wast concrete. The effect of oxide molar ratio of raw material on compressive strength and its size effect of GRAC was studied.The results show the size conversion coefficient of GRAC cannot adopt the values from the current national standard GB/T50081. The relationship of size conversion coefficient α and oxide molar ratio ε of GRAC was worked out. It was found that the compressive strength of GRAC of all sizes were in line with the Bazant’s size theory. Oxide molar ratio on critical size and critical value of GRAC were calculated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
