Effect of Rice Straw Amount Portion on Physical Properties of Adding Admixtures Hollow Block

Abstract

This study presents the impact of rice straw as additive material on physical properties of hollow block as compressive, flexural strength and water absorption, Softening coefficient. Through testing the hollow block physical properties, the of rice straw additive was studied. When the rice straw amount portion was 0~15%, with rice straw amount portion increased, compressive, flexural strength and water resistance effect of adding one kind of early strength agent and mixing Al2(SO4)3, CaCl2 early strength agent hollow block decreased gradually. When the rice straw amount portion was 10%, adding early strength agent Al2(SO4)3, CaCl2 ，the 28d compressive strength of hollow block was minimum, 3.5MPa; while mixing CaCl2, Al2(SO4)3 early strength agent, the hollow block softening coefficient was 0.76, water absorption rate was 3.9%, meet the requirements of national standard of common concrete hollow block. Through the experiment, the conclusion is mixing early strength agent Al2(SO4)3, CaCl2, Obviously superior to adding one kind of —early strength agent—Al2(SO4)3 or CaCl2 on the physical properties of hollow block.
