Abstract
Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) made of limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) exhibits excellent mechanical properties as well as good environmental friendliness. This paper studied the improving effect of nano-SiO2 on the mechanical properties and microstructure of LC3-UHPC. The experimental results show that the addition of nano-SiO2 demonstrates obvious advantages. The mechanical properties of LC3-UHPC are enhanced, and the frictional bond performance between steel fiber and cementitious matrix is also improved. The fiber/matrix bond strength is increased. A constitutive model describing the single fiber pullout behavior is established, and the values of related parameters are suggested. Besides, nano-SiO2 also refined the cementitious microstructure of UHPC and made the matrix denser. Based on the comprehensive analysis of mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics, the optimal content of LC3 and nano-SiO2 were proposed.
