1. Purpose of preparation
Defining the process, operation key points and corresponding technical
standards of the high-speed railway engineering concrete production.
Guide and standardize the production of concrete to improve the
construction level and quality on site.
2. Scope of application
This construction guide is applicable to the construction, batching,
transportation, pouring and maintenance of the concrete of the roadbed,
bridge and culvert, tunnel, track and station building of JBHSR.
3. Construction preparation
Before the construction start, concrete using company (on-site
construction team) should send the “Concrete pouring application form”
which is signed by the on-site technical person to batching plat. Describe
the basic information such as the required concrete strength grade,
square volume, planned casting speed, construction location and location,
construction time, etc. The concrete batching plat determines the supply
speed according to the transportation distance. They also have to
prepare for production, determine the number of concrete tankers, and
arrange the time for concrete to be delivered to site.
4. Work process
curing.
4.1. Concrete batching
4.1.1. Mixing machine should be tested before construction. Wet the
machine with water, check whether the discharge gate is flexible,
and start the machine to run for 2 to 3 minutes. After confirming
the normal operation, drain the water and construction.
4.1.2. Zero calibration of the metering system before mixing production.
Concrete raw materials should be accurately weighed according
to the construction mixing ratio. The maximum allowable deviation
should meet the following requirements (by weight): cementations
materials (cement, mineral admixtures, etc.) ± 1%; admixture ±
1%; the fine aggregate is ±2%; the mixing water is ±1%.
4.1.3. The concrete is mixed by a forced mixing machine. The order of
inspection of each mixing 50 ㎡ is not less than one time, and the
problems are found have to be deal with in time to ensure that the
concrete poured on site meets the requirements.
4.3.3. Before pouring, formulate the pouring process plan, clarify the
starting point of pouring, the direction of pouring, calibrating the
thickness, etc., and do not leave the construction joints.
4.3.3.1. Concrete pouring is carried out by longitudinal sectioning,
horizontal stratification, continuous casting, and one-time
completion of concrete.
4.3.3.2. The layered thickness of concrete (refers to the thickness
after compaction) shall be determined according to the
mixing capacity, transportation conditions, pouring speed,
vibrating capacity and structural requirements of the mixing
machine. But the maximum paving thickness of the concrete
shall not be greater than 400 mm, pumping The maximum
paving thickness of concrete should not exceed 600mm.
4.3.3.3. When it is intermittent for some reason, the interval time
should be less than the initial solidification time of the front
concrete or the time for reframeworking. The allowable
interval time for different concretes shall be determined
experimentally according to conditions of temperature,
cement performance, water-to-binder ratio and admixture
type which need to be determined by experiment. When the
allowable interval time is exceeded, it shall be treated as the
pouring interruption, and the construction joint shall be
retained and recorded.
4.3.3.4. The plane of the construction joint should be perpendicular to
the axis of the structure. When pouring new concrete at the
construction joint, the surface of the hardened concrete shall
be chiseled and fully wetted and without accumulated water.
Generally, the following requirements should be met:
a. The area of fresh concrete exposed after chiseling should
not be less than 75% of the total area;
b. When chiseling, the concrete should meet the following
strengths: When manually chiseling, not less than 2.5 MPa;
When mechanically chiseling, it is not less than 10 MPa.
c. For reinforced concrete structures with plain concrete
structures or sparse steel bars, anchored steel bars should
be inserted at the construction joints.
4.3.4. Concrete and media temperature test in contact with concrete.
The mold temperature of concrete shall not exceed 33 °C. When
concrete is poured, the temperature of the medium in contact with
concrete shall not exceed 40 °C. The temperature difference
between newly poured concrete and adjacent hardened concrete
or geotechnical, steel, stencil and other media should not exceed
15 °C. Otherwise, effective measures should be taken (such as
pouring the site to shade, to reduce the temperature of the
formwork and steel bars; water can also be sprayed on the
formwork, steel bars and foundation to cool down, but there
should be no attached water during pouring).
4.3.5. When pouring concrete, delamination of concrete should be
prevented. When dumping directly from a high place, the concrete
free fall height should not exceed 2m, otherwise the concrete or
the chute should be used to feed the concrete into the mold. The
height of the string discharge opening from the concrete pouring
surface should not exceed 1m.
4.3.6. When pouring concrete, special personnel should always observe
the formwork, support and spare parts. When deformation or
displacement occurs, the pouring should be stopped immediately
for treatment.
4.3.7. During the pouring of concrete or when the pouring is completed,
if the surface of the concrete is exuding more water, it is
necessary to take measures to remove the water without
disturbing the concrete that has been poured. When the concrete
is poured, the cause should be identified and measures taken to
reduce the exuded of water.
4.3.8. During the concrete pouring process, the concrete should be
vibrated and evenly compacted after the fabric is finished. Plug-
in vibrators and surface vibrators should be used for concrete
vibrators, and attached vibrators are sometimes used for auxiliary
vibrating (such as prefabricated beams and lining concrete).
When the concrete is vibrated, the following provisions shall be
met:
a. When the inserted vibrator is used to vibrate the concrete, the
moving distance of the inserted vibrator should not be greater
than 1.5 times. The working radius of the vibrator, and the depth
inserted into the lower concrete should be 50-100 mm.
b. When the horizontal position of the concrete stirrer that needs
to change the vibrating bar after the vibrating is completed, the
vibrating bar should be slowly and vertically raised while vibrating,
and the vibrating bar should not be placed in the stirring material,
and the vibrating bar should not be used. For the operation of the
plug-in vibrator, it is necessary to " quick insertion and pull slowly".
The quick insertion is to prevent the surface concrete from being
tempered and stratified and separated from the uncompacted
concrete below; the slow pull is to fill the space when the vibrating
rod is extracted.
c. During the vibrating process of the concrete, repeated
vibrations should be avoided to prevent over-vibration. The
vibrating duration of each vibration point of the plug-in vibrator
should be 20 to 30 seconds. The high-frequency vibrator should
be used, and the shortest should be no less than 10 seconds. The
concrete no longer sinks significantly, no bubbles appear, and the
surface floats. The pulp is for degrees. The continuous vibration
time of the surface vibrator at the same position is generally
25~40 seconds. It is also possible to uniformly distribute the slurry
on the concrete surface. The overlap between the front and rear
positions should be about 50mm to prevent leakage vibration.
d. The attached vibrator should be started after the concrete is put
into the mold. The template support of the attached vibrator
should consider the working condition of the attached vibrator.
When the member has a certain height (length), an attached
vibrator is generally provided every 1 to 1.5 m.
e. Vibrating should avoid collision with formwork, steel bars and
other embedded parts.
4.3.9. Under the conditions of relatively low relative humidity and high
wind speed, measures such as watering, spraying, and wind
blocking may be adopted, or avoided the structural parts with
large exposed area at the same time.
4.3.10. For preventing early shrinkage of concrete and surface cracks
caused by self-weight sinking, it should be trimmed before the
concrete is initially set. After the concrete vibrating is completed,
the concrete exposed surface should be repaired and smoothed
in time. Before the initial surface of the exposed concrete is
solidified, the covering should be rolled up, and the surface should
be rolled with a trowel at least 2 times, and calendared or napped
to make it flat and covered again. At this time, it should be noticed
that the covering should not directly contact the concrete surface
until the concrete final solidified. It is strictly forbidden to sprinkle
water and ash when wiping the surface, and should prevent
excessive operation from affecting the quality of the concrete
surface.
4.3.11. When pumping concrete is used for construction, the following
requirements shall be met:
a. According to the construction schedule, continuous feeding is
guaranteed.
b. The transport capacity of the concrete pump should be
compatible with the capacity of the mixing machine.
c. The framework of the concrete pump can be selected according
to the engineering conditions, the maximum pumping distance,
and the maximum output.
d. The location of the concrete pump should be close to the
pouring location. The pumping feed port should be able to move.
e. When configuring the duct, shorten the length of the pipeline
and use less elbows. The conveying pipe and inner wall should
be smooth, and the interface must not leak.
f. Hose pipe can be used at the outlet of the pumping pipeline
instead of other parts, and the conveying pipe must not be in
contact with the formwork and steel bars.
g. When the lower pump feeding concrete, the angle between the
pipeline and the vertical line should not be less than 12 degrees.
h. Before pumping concrete, the cement should be reduced by
50% of the concrete with the same coarse aggregate as the
pumped concrete, and the air should not be taken in.
4.3.12. The retention of the concrete test block. The test pieces used
to check the concrete strength of structural members shall be
randomly selected at the place where concrete poured. The
appropriate maintenance methods and protective measures shall
be taken for the on-site test pieces.
4.3.13. When pouring concrete, the concrete construction record
should be filled and the pouring process should be recorded for
quality traceability.
