Description

  The present invention relates to a concrete expansion material used in the field of civil engineering and construction, and a method for producing the same.

A concrete expansion material having excellent expansion characteristics with a small addition amount has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). In addition, cement admixtures that have both expansion performance and shrinkage reduction performance by adding a shrinkage reduction agent to these expansion materials and combining the expansion material and the shrinkage reduction agent have been proposed (see Patent Documents 2 and 3).
Furthermore, a technique for preventing pop-out and ensuring an expansion rate by adjusting the particle size of the expansion material is disclosed (see Patent Documents 4 and 5). However, in these documents, particle size adjustment was performed at 200 to 300 μm, 90 μm, 5 to 20 μm, 150 μm, and the like.

Japanese Patent No. 4244261 JP 2000-264694 A JP 2003-12352 A JP 2007-131484 A JP 2008-201592 A

The present invention has been found that by adjusting a specific expansion material with a specific particle size, pop-out can be further prevented and expansion strain can be increased.
In addition, although a material obtained by slurrying an expansion material with a shrinkage reducing agent is excellent in terms of performance, the shrinkage reducing agent has a high cost. Therefore, a material in which the blending ratio of the shrinkage reducing agent is suppressed as much as possible has been demanded. However, when the amount of the shrinkage reducing agent added is suppressed, there are problems such that the expansion material aggregates to cause a pop-out phenomenon, and the effect of increasing the expansion strain is reduced.
The present invention has been found that the use of a specific expansion material solves the above-described problem even if a shrinkage reducing agent is not blended or the amount of shrinkage reducing agent added is suppressed as compared with the prior art.

That is, the present invention includes (1) an expanded material containing free lime, a hydraulic compound, and anhydrous gypsum, a 45 μm sieve residue of 40% by mass or more and a 90 μm sieve residue of 30% by mass or less and shrinkage reduction. agent and also contains, cement admixture shrinkage reducing agent is obtained by a combination of alkylene oxide-propylene oxide copolymer and polyoxypropylene monoalkyl ether, (2) Rise stretched member is 80 to 95 parts by mass, shrinkage ( 1 ) a cement admixture containing 5 to 20 parts by mass of a reducing agent , (3 ) a cement composition containing cement and (1) or (2) a cement admixture.

  The cement admixture of the present invention can suppress the aggregation of the expansion material even if the shrinkage reducing agent is not blended or the blending ratio of the shrinkage reducing agent is less than that of the conventional one, has no pop-out, and satisfies the same or larger expansion strain than the conventional one. A cement admixture is provided.
