Abstract:
Aiming at the problems of collapse, deformation, and displacement in the concrete paving of roadway floors, this paper adopts the way of adding alkali-free accelerators to the concrete on both sides, through mechanical analysis, single factor experiment, orthogonal experiment, and polynomial fitting method, and determines the relevant parameters of concrete and accelerators in the sliding form paving of roadway floor from two aspects of paving material and size. The results show that the FSA-AF alkali-free liquid accelerator is more suitable for roadway floor paving than the J85 powder accelerator. When the FSA-AF accelerator dosage reaches 8%, the decreasing trend of initial setting time curve tends to be flat. The deformation resistance of concrete containing accelerator is positively correlated with the dosage of the accelerator. Concrete side pressure is positively correlated with pavement paving height. The FSA-AF accelerator can reduce the compressive strength of concrete; the compressive strength and retention rate of concrete at all ages are the highest when the dosage of FSA-AF is 7%. A water-cement ratio of 0.4 and a 9% dosage of accelerator are the optimal combination to meet the four evaluation indexes. According to the width estimation formula, the width of the side concrete should be set to 14 cm.
