Influence of Fiber on Properties of Graphite Tailings Foam Concrete

Abstract

The project used graphite tailings as a filler to prepare graphite tailings foamed concrete. Mainly studied the physical properties, mechanical properties and thermal properties of the foam concrete by graphite tailings, also studied the combination of polypropylene fiber and glass fiber influence of foam concrete compressive strength and cracking strength. The experimental results show that in the case of the same dry density grade, adding 20% graphite tailings can make the foam concrete strength reach its peak. When the water-binder ratio is 0.65 and the self-made chemical foaming agent content is 7%, the optimal total fiber volume blending rate is 0.18%, and the blending ratio of polypropylene fiber and glass fiber is 2:1. The compounding of polypropylene fiber and glass fiber can improve the flexural performance of foam concrete, which is not conducive to the thermal insulation performance of foam concrete, but the test results are still better than industry standards.
