Study of integral and differential strength and deformation characteristics of centrifuged and vibrating centrifuged concrete on activated Portland cement

Abstract

Abstract In this work, the study of integral and differential strength and deformation characteristics of centrifuged and vibrating centrifuged concrete on activated Portland cement was carried out. Mechanical activation of cement was carried out using a specialized grinding unit. Manufacturing of centrifuged and vibrating centrifuged samples was carried out on an experimental laboratory centrifuge. All samples were made of concrete of the same composition. The optimum values of technological parameters of centrifugation and vibrating centrifugation are given. The scheme of obtaining small-size specimens from a common annular section to determine the strength and strain characteristics was developed. According to the results of the study it was found that the improvement of integral and differential strength and strain characteristics when using activated Portland cement is observed for both centrifuged and vibrating centrifuged specimens. However, the samples made by vibrating centrifugation technology have better strength and strain characteristics than the samples made by centrifugation. According to the results of the study, it was found that the activation of Portland cement at its rational values is the best way to enhance variatropy.
