In the continuous development and application of underground spaces (such as roads, tunnels and underground caverns), safe and efficient support technology is an important means to maintain the stability and integrity of roadways [...]
Air entrained wet shotcrete improves the pipeline transportation efficiency of concrete, besides, the characteristics of fine aggregate have different effects on the fluidity and mechanical properties of air entrained wet shotcrete. In this paper, mainly for air-entrained wet shotcrete, the effects of four different properties of fine aggregates on the fluidity and mechanical properties of air-entrained wet shotcrete were studied, especially the two factors of sand ratio and mud content. Fine aggregate properties include mud content (MC), sand ratio (SR), water content (WC) and particle size (PZ). The results showed that the fluidity and mechanical properties of wet shotcrete were the best when the sand ratio of fine aggregate is 0.56 and the water content is 3%; the fine aggregate has a reasonable particle size as far as possible; the montmorillonite contained in the mud inhibited the fluidity and mechanical properties, and the mud content should be kept as low as possible. The paper provides a reference for the practical application of air entraining wet shotcrete, so as to better deal with pipe blockage.
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.
