Study on effect of mechanical sand on mechanical properties and fractal characteristics of mortar pore structure

Abstract

The influence of stone powder content, fly ash and other factors on mechanical properties, pore structure and fractal dimension of machine-made sand mortar were studied, and the relationship between fractal dimension and mechanical properties of mortar was explored. The research shows that with the increase of the content of stone powder, the mechanical properties of mortar and the fractal dimension of pore structure of different sizes increase; the porosity and average pore size of the mortar decrease, and the ternary of cement-fly ash-stone powder The micro-particle system can effectively optimize the pore structure distribution of the mortar; the fractal dimension of the mortar using ordinary river sand is significantly smaller than that of machine-made sand under the same conditions; with the increase of the fractal dimension of the pore structure, the compressive strength and flexural strength of the mortar continue to increase Large, the fractal dimension and the macroscopic mechanical properties of the mortar show a good correlation.
