Abstract:Through water penetration resistance and freeze-thaw resistance tests,the influence of alkali-free accelerators containing nano-silica on the durability of C30 shotcrete was investigated,and the effects of different dispersion methods of nano-silica on the properties of the concrete were compared.The results show that compared with ordinary accelerators,the addition of nano-silica accelerators reduces the electrical flux and average water penetration height of the concrete,increases the elastic modulus,and reduces the mass and compressive strength loss rates.This indicates that the alkali-free accelerators containing nano-silica can improve the water penetration and freeze-thaw resistance of the concrete and effectively inhibit the enlargement of air bubbles within the concrete.Moreover,pre-dispersing nano-silica in the accelerator achieves better results compared with the external addition of nano-silica.
