چکیده
هزینه زیاد تولید بتن‌پودری‌واکنشی یکی از چالش‌های اصلی در استفاده گسترده از این نوع بتن است. در این مطالعه، جهت افزایش ظرفیت منابع تولید بتن و کاهش هزینه تولید بتن، تأثیر جایگزینی پودر توف‌سبز‌البرز به جای پودر کوارتز در بتن‌پودری‌واکنشی بر مقاومت فشاری، مقاومت کششی، روانی و جذب آب بررسی شده‌است. ابتدا، یک طرح مخلوط مناسب به‌عنوان بتن شاهد با تکیه بر پیشینه تحقیقات و آزمون‌وخطا تعیین گردیده‌است. سپس شش طرح مخلوط با درصدهای جایگزینی پودر توف‌سبزالبرز به جای پودر کوارتز مختلف از 20 تا 100 درصد ساخته گردیده‌است. عمل‌آوری آزمونه‌ها در داخل آب با دمای °C25 صورت گرفته‌است تا نتایج برای بتن‌ریزی درجا نیز قابل استفاده باشد. نتایج نشان داده‌است که آزمونه‌های دارای 100٪ جایگزینی در سن 28 روزه، مقاومت فشاری برابر 27/72 مگاپاسکال داشته‌اند که نسبت به بتن شاهد 6/4% کاهش داشته اما همچنان در محدوده مطلوب برای کاربردهای سازه‌ای هستند. مقاومت کششی با افزایش درصد جایگزینی افزایش یافته‌است. این امر به دلیل ماهیت توف‌سبز است که علاوه بر نقش پرکنندگی، بخشی از ذرات آن به‌عنوان یک پوزولان ضعیف در واکنش‌های پوزولانی شرکت کرده و موجب افزایش خمیر چسباننده و درنتیجه افزایش مقاومت کششی شده‌اند. در مقابل مقاومت فشاری بتن علاوه بر خمیر چسباننده، به سختی دانه‌های پرکننده نیز وابسته است؛ بنابراین افزایش میزان خمیر چسباننده نتوانسته کاهش مقاومت ناشی از کم‌تر بودن سختیِ دانه‌های توف‌سبز نسبت به کوارتز را جبران کند و در نهایت مقاومت فشاری کاهش یافته‌است. همچنین، با افزایش میزان جایگزینی، روانی بتن افزایش یافته‌است که علت آن آب سطحی بیش‌تر ذرات توف‌سبز نسبت به ذرات پودر کوارتز است. جذب آب طی عمل‌آوری آزمونه‌ها با افزایش سن تغییر چندانی نداشت که نشان‌دهنده مشارکت آب سطحی ذرات پودر توف‌سبز در فرآیند هیدراتاسیون است.

چکیده English

The high production cost of Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) has been one of the main challenges limiting its widespread application. This study has investigated the effects of replacing quartz powder with green tuff powder from the Alborz region in RPC, with the aim of increasing resource availability and reducing the final cost of production. The impact of this substitution on compressive strength, tensile strength, consistency, and water absorption has been evaluated. Initially, a suitable reference mix has been developed based on previous research and trial-and-error procedures. Subsequently, six concrete mixes have been prepared with green tuff powder replacing quartz powder at various proportions, ranging from 20% to 100%. Curing has been carried out in water at 25°C so that the results can also be used for in-situ concrete. The results have indicated that the mix with 100% replacement has achieved a 28-day compressive strength of 72.27 MPa, which has represented a 4.6% decrease compared to the reference mix, yet has remained within the acceptable range for structural applications. Tensile strength has increased with higher replacement levels. This improvement has been attributed to the dual role of green tuff powder, which not only acts as a filler but also has partially participated in pozzolanic reactions due to its weak pozzolanic activity, thereby enhancing the binder matrix and, consequently, the tensile strength. In contrast, compressive strength has been influenced by both the binder and the hardness of filler particles. As such, the increased binder content has not been able to compensate for the lower hardness of green tuff compared to quartz, resulting in a slight reduction in compressive strength. Furthermore, the consistency of the mixes has improved with increasing replacement levels, due to the higher surface water content of green tuff particles. Water absorption has remained relatively unchanged with curing age, indicating that the surface water of green tuff powder has actively contributed to the hydration process.
