To investigate the quality characteristics of
manufactured sand produced by different dry processes with granite tunnel muck
and its effect on the performance of concrete, the two kinds of manufactured
sand samples, CMS produced by the combination production dry process of
manufactured sand and gravel and SMS produced by the separate dry process of
sand manufacturing plant, are used to test their performance indexes. The
workability, compressive strength, dry shrinkage, and frost resistance of C35
concrete prepared by CMS and SMS and the influence of them with the stone
powder content of 5%~14% on the properties of manufactured sand concrete are
examined. The results reveal the following: (1) SMS is superior to CMS in terms
of methylene blue(MB) value and crushing value.
(2) Under the same stone powder content, the dosage of water reducer
required for the CMS concrete to achieve a same workability is significantly
higher than that of the SMS concrete, the compressive strength and frost
resistance of the CMS concrete is lower than those of the SMS concrete, and the
dry shrinkage ratio of the CMS concrete is higher than that of the SMS
concrete. (3) The influence laws and degrees of stone powder content on the MB
values, workability, strength, and durability of CMS and SMS concretes vary,
thus the stone powder contents in SMS and CMS are recommended to be 10% and 5%,
respectively.
