Abstract:Currently, in order to effectively protect the water ecology of the Yangtze River, the relevant national departments have issued the river channel dredging management planning for the important river sections. The wider application of machine-made sand is explored. In response to the call of the country, nowadays, more and more engineers use the machine-made sand to design the mix proportion of concrete, and the content of machine-made sand gravel powder is an important reference index in the design of mix proportion of concrete. Combined with the empirical method and experimental method, it is proposed that the contents of three rocky machine-made sand gravel powders of limestone, volcanic ash rock and basalt are five groups of target contents of 3%, 5%, 7%, 9% and 11% respectively. The comparative analysis experiments of the mechanical properties, working performance, appearance and chloride ion diffusion coefficient of the concrete are carried out. The experimental results show that the compressive strength of concrete is the highest when the machine-made sand gravel powder content of limestone is 9%, and the compressive strength of concrete does not increase with the increase of machine-made sand gravel powder content of volcanic ash rock and basalt. The working performances (slump, stiffness, cohesion and water retention) of concrete is the best when the content of machine-made sand gravel powder is 7%~9%. With the increase of machine-made sand gravel powder content, the appearance of concrete is constantly improved. The results show that the appearance effect of concrete is the best when the content of sand powder is 11%. The chloride ion diffusion coefficients (RCM10-12 m2/s) of machine-made sand after 28 days and 84 days present a negative correlation with the increase of gravel powder content. The chloride ion diffusion coefficient (RCM10-12 m2/s) of concrete after 28 days and 84 days is the lowest when the content of gravel powder is 11%.
