Improving molding regimes centrifuged concrete products annular cross-section
Incoming article date: 31.03.2018A review of the literature concerning the molding of centrifuged concrete products was carried out. The peculiarities of centrifugation of concrete, in particular, the manufacture of centrifuged pipes, have been studied. The main parameters and indices of the quality of concrete and the centrifuged tubes themselves are considered. The traditional mode of forming non-pressure pipes is described. The calculation formulas for the parameters of the centrifugation process and their graphical dependences are given. Based on the calculated data, it is concluded that the traditional modes of shaping of non-pressure pipes are characterized by the rotation speed of the mold from 82 to 300 rpm in the stages of loading and distribution of the concrete mixture. At the sealing stage, the control of the rotation speed of the mold varies over a very wide range and depends largely on the viscosity of the concrete mix and the pressing pressure: from 825 to 4400 rpm for concrete pipes with a diameter of 100 to 300 mm. Modeling the parameters of the molding regime during the centrifugation of ring-shaped products in a laboratory installation at a maximum compaction pressure of p = 2.16 kg/cm2 will allow us to refine the obtained data and study their effect on the variability of the concrete structure
Keywords: centrifugal force, centrifugation parameters, charging speed of the mold, speed distribution of the shape, sealing speed of the mold, pressing pressure, centrifugation time, ring-shaped products
