Application and Study of C80 High Performance Concrete in Freezing Shaft Sinking Techniques

Abstract

A study on C80 high performance concrete used in deep freezing mine shaft liner is made. Test results are listed as follows: (1) Concretes compressive strength at 1 day is 53.0 MPa, while the compressive strength at 28 days is 93.5 MPa. (2) The diffusion coefficient of chloride ion at 28 days is 9.8×10-14m2/s, and freezing-thawing cycle is over 1000 times. The evidence above proves that this concrete can satisfy the requirements of C80 high performance concrete used in freezing shaft sinking techniques.
