Abstract
The influences of four nanoparticles of nanosilica (SiO2), nano-calcium carbonate (CaCO3), nano-aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and nano-iron oxide (Fe2O3) on workability, hydration, pore structure and mechanical strength of reactive powder concrete (RPC) are investigated by macro/microscopic methods. The aim of this study is to provide an essential basis for exploiting new-generation cementitious materials with ultra-high strength and super-long service life by employing modern nano-modification technology. The results indicate that addition of low-dosage nanoparticles to RPC shows a remarkable influence on the mechanical strength, hydration and pore structure compared to the ordinary cement system with a relatively high water/cement ratio. The compactness and mechanical strength of RPC can be greatly improved by incorporating nanoparticles. The promotive ratio of flexural and compressive strength of RPC is up to 30%. The elevated temperature further promotes the effect of nanoparticles on the strength of RPC. The seeding effect of nanoparticles on hydration of cement and the nano-size filling role are strengthened in the RPC system.
