Viongezeo vya Zege nyepesi | Mawakala wa Utendaji wa Juu wa Kutoa Mapovu kwa Saruji ya Simu
saruji nyepesi yenye povu (LFC) au aircrete ni aina ya simiti mbadala isiyo na uzito nyepesi ambayo haina mkusanyiko mkubwa na hutengenezwa kwa kuchanganya maji., saruji na povu. Ina uzito mdogo wa kujitegemea, greater workability and superior insulating properties but less strength than normal-strength concrete. It can be used in load bearing structural applications with the right mixture design and production methods.
This paper is a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of nanosilica (NS) on the compressive strength, kukausha shrinkage, thermal conductivity and the sorption of ultra-saruji nyepesi yenye povus (ULFCs) with a density lower than 350 kg/m3. The experiments were conducted in a 50 L Eirich mixer using a shear intensity up to 1000 rpm. The fine materials were dry-mixed for 30 s and then water, superplasticizer and stabiliser were added to form the cement slurry. Air was then injected to produce the foamed mass.
The results of the investigation indicated that the addition of NS improved the fresh and hardened characteristics of the ULFCs, particularly its compressive strength. Kwa ujumla, the solid structure of ULFC specimens with NS contained thicker walls, which contributed to its higher compression strength.
It was also found that the hydration process of ULFCs with NS takes place faster than in the case of SF due to its smaller particle size. The NS incorporated in the ULFCs also modifies their pore structure and increases the connectivity between the voids. This significantly reduces the drying shrinkage of ULFC.
