Optimization of grouting reinforcement performance of superfine sulfoaluminate cement composite system by Pengfei WANG, Pengyun YAN, Mingxuan ZHANG

“…Aiming at the technical demands for the control of the stability of the surrounding rock of the underground roadway in coal mines and the improvement of the effect of grouting reinforcement, and with the target orientation of the resource utilization of industrial solid wastes and the reduction of the cost of grouting, we have systematically carried out the research on the modification of the admixture of the composite cementitious material system of ultrafine fly ash (UFA) and ultrafine sulfated aluminate cement (USC).Through the introduction of water-reducing components such as polycarboxylic acid water-reducing agent (PCE) and naphthalene water-reducing agent (FDN), combined with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), citric acid (CA) and other retarding regulators, the synergistic influence mechanism of single-mixing and compound-mixing modes of admixtures on the performance of grouting materials of the composite system has been investigated in depth. …”
