Mechanical Properties of Modified Concrete Based on Nano-Silicon Dioxide

In order to solve the problem of insufficient durability and long-term performance of concrete, the compressive and splitting properties of nano-silicon dioxide modified concrete are analyzed in this study, which provides strong evidence for the synergistic interaction between nano-silicon dioxide modified concrete, fly ash and mineral powder and the improvement of durability. Firstly, ordinary concrete and high-performance concrete are modified and mixed. Then, they are separately mixed with nano-silicon dioxide. Nano-silicon dioxide is mixed with fly ash, and nano-silicon dioxide is mixed with mineral dust. Compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of modified concrete are tested and compared, and mechanical properties of modified concrete are analyzed. The results show that the synergistic effect of nano-silicon dioxide, fly ash and mineral powder on the strength of concrete is remarkable. The maximum increment of compressive strength of modified ordinary concrete is 10Mpa, and that of synergistic modified high-strength concrete is 20 MPa. In addition, a small amount of nano-silicon dioxide can improve the splitting tensile strength of ordinary concrete, but it has no obvious effect on the splitting tensile strength of high-strength concrete. Therefore, the problem of insufficient durability and long-term performance of concrete can be solved to some extent by adding nano-silicon dioxide in concrete according to reasonable proportion.
