The porosity and air-permeability of concrete were determined by method of evaporated water and Torrent permeability tester, respectively. Pore structures of mortars in concrete were analyzed using mercury intrusion porosimetry （MIP）. Interfacial structures between steel fibers and matrix were examined by use of optical microscope. The experimental results show that improvement of pore structures of mortar and fiber-matrix interfacial structure in concrete by combination of steel fiber and MEA may remarkably increase properties of concrete. In comparison with plain concrete, compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of steel fiber reinforced expansive concrete increased by 15.3% and 38.1%, permeability coefficient Kt, penetration depth L and porosity of concrete decreased by 41.1%, 21.3% and 13.1% at 28 days, respectively.展开更多

The formation of in-situ spinel fiber was detected to start at 1300 ℃. The amount, diameter and length of the fibers increased with rising temperature. Ferrocene may have catalytic effects on the growth of the fibers in two aspects. First, the reaction between MgO and C and the decomposition of Al4C3 may be catalyzed at high temperature. Suitable concentration gaseous phase is then created for vapor-vapor reaction which could result in the in-situ formation of fibers. Second, Fe nanoparticle produced from ferrocene can act as catalytic droplets and catalyze the growth of the fibers. The fibers are formed via the vapor-liquid-solid and vapor-solid mechanisms. In terms of chemical thermodynamics, the partial pressure of CO and Mg（g） are found to play an important role in the in-situ fibers formation. Different concentration of vapors affects the size, amount and composition of the fibers at different temperatures. The mechanical properties of MgO-C brick was found to be improved by ferrocene addition.展开更多
