振动频率法评价超高性能混凝土内部均匀性的研究

Evaluation Method for Internal Homogeneity of UHPC Based on Vibration Frequency Analysis

  • 摘要: 超高性能混凝土(UHPC)凭借优异的力学性能与耐久性,广泛应用于建筑、桥梁、隧道等高要求工程领域。但因其低水胶比、高粘度的特性,生产搅拌阶段易产生干粉块结团、钢纤维团聚等内部不均匀缺陷,影响材料物理性能与长期服役效果。传统混凝土检测方法多聚焦力学性能与密实度,针对UHPC内部均匀性的评估研究相对不足。为解决该工程痛点,研究提出振动频率法用于UHPC内部均匀性无损检测:采用可控力敲击激励UHPC试块,通过加速度传感器采集振动响应信号,设定固定采样频率,通过统计波速与计算皮尔逊相关系数定量表征振动响应一致性,以此判别内部均匀性。试验制备试块1、2、3分别模拟均匀分布、无纤维缺陷区、钢纤维过量区三种典型状态,利用振动频率法与CT扫描开展对比检测。结果表明,振动频率法可有效识别由干粉结团、钢纤维团聚引发的内部不均匀性,检测结果与CT扫描成像一致。该方法能够准确反映UHPC生产过程中的均匀性变化,结合CT扫描可为提升UHPC生产质量与后期服役性能提供科学依据。

     

    Abstract: Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) has been widely applied in demanding engineering fields, including buildings, bridges, and tunnels, owing to its superior mechanical properties and durability. However, due to its low water-to-binder ratio and high viscosity, internal inhomogeneities, such as dry powder agglomeration and steel fiber clustering, are prone to occur during the mixing and casting processes, thereby adversely affecting the mechanical performance and long-term durability of the material. Conventional concrete testing methods primarily focus on mechanical properties and compactness, whereas studies concerning the evaluation of the internal homogeneity of UHPC remain limited. To address this issue, a vibration frequency–based non-destructive testing method for evaluating the internal homogeneity of UHPC is proposed in this study. The UHPC specimens were subjected to controlled impact excitation, and the vibration response signals were acquired using accelerometer sensors at a fixed sampling frequency. Wave velocity statistics and the Pearson correlation coefficient were employed to quantitatively characterize waveform similarity for the identification of internal homogeneity. Three types of specimens (Specimens 1, 2, and 3) were designed to represent typical conditions, namely uniform distribution, fiber-deficient regions, and steel fiber-enriched regions, respectively. Comparative experiments were conducted using both the proposed vibration frequency method and CT scanning. The results indicate that the proposed method can effectively identify internal inhomogeneities caused by dry powder agglomeration and steel fiber clustering, and the obtained results are in good agreement with the CT scanning images. Furthermore, the method can accurately characterize variations in the internal homogeneity of UHPC during production. When combined with CT scanning, the proposed approach provides a scientific basis for improving the production quality and long-term service performance of UHPC.
