Effects of graphene oxide on mechanical properties and microstructure of ultra-high-performance lightweight concrete
Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) has attracted much attention in civil engineering. However, the high deadweight of UHPC limits its application. To reduce the density of UHPC, this study developed an ultra-high-performance lightweight concrete (UHPLC) by combining the use of shale ceramic sand and nano-materials, according to the modified Andreasen and Andersen (MAA) model. Taking advantage of nanotechnology, graphene oxide (GO) was utilized to improve the mechanical performance of UHPLC, and the effects of GO on the workability, mechanical properties, and microstructure of UHPLC were systematically investigated. It was found that: 1) UHPLC with an apparent density of 2022 ∼ 2114 kg/m³ was prepared according to the MAA model; 2) Owing to the addition of GO, the flexural strength, compressive strength, and elastic modulus of UHPLC increased by 6.3 ∼ 22.4%, 7.6 ∼ 16.7%, and 4.1 ∼ 13.0%, respectively; 3) Considering the effects of GO on the mechanical properties and microstructure of UHPLC, the optimal content of GO was 0.06%.
