The samples of basalt fibre asphalt mortar（BFAM） with different BF mass fractions（0. 1%,0. 2%, and 0. 5%） and without BF in asphalt mixture are prepared, and then submitted for the compressive strength test and corresponding creep test at a high in-service temperature.Besides, numerical simulations in finite element ABAQUS software were conducted to model the compressive creep test of mortar materials, where the internal structure of the fibre mortar was assumed to be a two-component composite material model such as fibre and mortar matrix. Finally, the influence factors of rheological behaviors of BFAM are further analyzed. Results indicate that compared to the control sample, the compressive strength of BFAM samples has a significant increase, and the creep and residual deformation are decreased. However, it also shows that the excessive fibre, i.e. with the BF content of 0. 5%, is unfavorable to the high-temperature stability of the mortar. Based on the analysis results, the prediction equations of parameters of the Burgers constitutive model for BFAM are proposed by considering the fibre factors.展开更多

The Bingham fluid model is introduced to fit the yielding stress and plastic viscosity of the mortar. The POWER LAW fluid model is introduced to fit the rheological index of the mortar. The results show that, adding limestone powder and fly ash to the cement mortar significantly decreases the yield stress of the mortar, changes the plastic viscosity of the mortar, increases the rheological index, decreases the degree of shear thinning of the mortar, and thereby improves the mortar＇ s workability. In the case of cement - fly ash mortar, with the increase of limestone powder content, both the yield stress and plastic viscosity of the mortar increase. When the limestone powder content is not higher than 14%, the increase of yield stress is not significant. When the limestone powder content is lower than 8%, the increase of plastic viscosity is not significant. When the content of limestone powder is higher than 22%, the rheological index of the mortar decreases and the degree of shear thinning increases. The effects of limestone powder＇ s packing density, shape and size, specific surface area, and fluid volume, are found to be the four major factors responsible for the changes ofrheological properties of the mortar.展开更多

The crushed sands present different characteristics from the natural sand, especially if taking into account the content of microfine particle, the distribution of particle sizes, the shape features, besides the different lithological origin. From the rheological point of view, the crushed sands frequently provide mixtures with high yield stress, high viscosity, high cohesion and internal friction, which hinders its use in concrete. This study is focused on the evaluation of the rheological behavior of concrete mortar phase when using different lithological types of crushed sand in total replacement of natural sand. The lithological types surveyed were granite, calcitic limestone, dolomite limestone and mica schist. Each of these sand types was studied in two ways： in natura and with adjusted grading curve. The results show the best performance of calcitic limestone providing lower viscosities and lower yield stress in mortars.展开更多
