Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to reinforcement of soft ground, water stoppage, restoration of buildings sloping due to land subsidence due to earthquake or excavation work (building up), backfilling of tunnels and the like, filling of cavities, sea floor, It relates to backfill infusing materials used for consolidation under the surface of water or the like (collectively referred to as "backfill").
The present invention relates to a dealkalized silica-cement backfilling material which is excellent in the durability of a consolidated product, solidifies without being affected by surrounding groundwater, and does not cause alkaline pollution or calcium elution in the surroundings.

[0002] In the present invention, "gelation" refers to a state of exhibiting plasticity, which is referred to as "primary gelation". Gelation without plasticity is referred to as “secondary gelation”.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art As backfilling materials, various materials having performances according to the respective applications have been known.
For example, a colloidal silica-cement backfilling filler used as a backfill filler for building is known. This is an injection material containing colloidal silica obtained by de-alkalizing water glass and cement, and it is not possible to adjust the gel time sufficiently and it is difficult to rapidly solidify it. Is not suitable.

[0004] Further, there is known a backfilling injection material made of JIS No. 3 water glass-cement system and having a gelation time adjusted to 2 to 30 seconds. However, this type of injection material has a disadvantage that the rising strength is low. Although the amount of water glass is smaller than that of water glass-cement type LW, the durability is also poor due to the influence of alkali. In addition, in the water glass-cement system, when water glass and cement are mixed in equal amounts, the gel time does not become short from around 30 seconds.

Further, acidic silica sol, cement,
Also known is a backfill injection material comprising a system to which baking soda is added as necessary to obtain a uniform gel. However, this injection material has a problem not only in inferior durability but also in a rapid increase in strength.

[0006]

In tunnel construction such as shield construction, it is necessary to immediately fill the space between the lining concrete plate and the ground with a solidified material after excavation and before the surrounding ground is loosened. Furthermore, if the gel strength is low after filling, cracks may occur in the consolidated matter due to its own weight or swinging of the segment during construction.

Further, if the solidification of the solidified material and the water stoppage can be maintained semi-permanently after the completion of the structure (tunnel), the maintenance of the tunnel is inexpensive, which is extremely economical. However, the above-mentioned conventional backfilling materials are all inferior in durability except for the material for raising buildings, and generally cause a water leakage phenomenon several years later.

Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide not only excellent durability of the solidified material, but also rapid gelation and a large rising strength. Does not elute,
For example, in the shield method, not only can the segments be continuously assembled, but the ground does not loosen, and further, solidifies without being affected by the surrounding groundwater, etc., for example, even if the ground behind the tunnel is filled with groundwater It is an object of the present invention to provide a backfill injection material which is solidified without being diluted and has improved the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art.

[0009]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, dealkaline silica obtained by removing a part or all of sodium ions from water glass and cement are used as active ingredients. It is characterized by containing, and furthermore, it exhibits a plastic state by mixing these dealkalized silica and cement.

[0010]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

[0011] The backfilling material of the present invention, by using dealkalized silica and cement, has the effects of shortening the gelation time, increasing the rising strength, and excelling in the durability of the consolidated material for a long period of time. obtain.

In the present invention, a liquid (solution A) containing dealkalized silica as an active ingredient and a liquid (B) containing cement as an active ingredient are used.
Liquid), the gelation time can be freely adjusted by adding a mixing ratio of the liquid A and the liquid B and a gelling time adjusting agent.

When the backfill material of the present invention is used for building a building, slag, slaked lime and the like are used in addition to cement, so that the gel time can be extremely shortened to several seconds or less. After 30 minutes, the rising strength is not less than 0.5 kgf / cm ² and is excellent in durability.

When used as a backfill injection material in a tunnel shield method, a short time (for example, 2 to 20 seconds) can be obtained by using bentonite as cement.
The primary gelation results in a primary gel of 0.5 kgf / cm ² or more after 1 hour.

[0015] The holding time of the plastic state is determined depending on how much the strength of the rise of the consolidated body is required, but it is usually preferably 10 to 80 minutes.

Further, in a formulation used for strengthening soft ground and stopping water, the gelation time can be extended as long as 10 to 60 minutes. In addition, the backfill material used for tunnels such as shields requiring a large cross section, a large depth and a long excavation, etc., is preferably maintained in a plastic state for 30 minutes or more and has a high rising strength. However, the backfill implant of the present invention is also made possible by the choice of retarder.

Further, in the present invention, by using dealkalized silica, a part of the silica is precipitated on the surface of suspended cement particles and the like, and the sedimentation of these particles is suppressed. It is difficult to be diluted. Therefore, it is effectively consolidated even under the surface of the sea or underwater.

The dealkalized silica used in the present invention comprises:
It is obtained by removing a part or all of the sodium ions present in the water glass from the water glass, and specifically, for example, by treating the water glass with an ion exchange resin or an ion exchange membrane.

In the case of treatment with an ion-exchange resin, first, water glass is diluted with water to make a diluted water glass, and the diluted water glass is passed through a tower filled with the ion-exchange resin, and alkali water in the water glass is removed. To obtain dealkalized silica.

In the case of treatment with an ion-exchange membrane, the above-mentioned diluted water glass diluted with water is filled in an electrodialysis tank provided with a plurality of ion-exchange membranes between the negative and positive electrodes at intervals. Electric dialysis of the water glass is performed by applying a current between both electrodes, and cations in the water glass are removed to obtain dealkalized silica.

The pH of the dealkalized silica obtained as described above is adjusted, for example, in the following manner so as to be industrially stable and usable.

(1) pH 2 obtained by dealkalization
~ 4 active silicic acid and low alkali silica of pH 7-12. (2) An acid is added to the activated silicic acid to adjust the pH to 0.5.
~ 4 stabilized active silicic acids are obtained. (3) An alkali is added to the activated silicic acid to obtain stabilized activated silicic acid having a pH of 7 or less or low alkali silica having a pH of 7 to 12.
(4) An acid is added to the low alkali silica to obtain a pH of 7 to
A low alkali silica of 10 is obtained.

The dealkalized silica of the present invention has a pH of 2 to 1.
A silica having a silica concentration of 0 and a silica concentration of 1 to 15% is industrially advantageous, and the one having the above pH is also suitable as an active ingredient of the backfill injection material from the viewpoint of stability and environmental pollution.

The above-mentioned low alkali silica having a pH of 7 to 12 is obtained directly by partial alkalization of water glass, or obtained by further adjusting the pH thereof. Particularly, colloidal silica and water glass are added to obtain a high molar ratio and a high silica concentration.

Immediately after the alkali removal treatment, the low alkali silica has the same molecular weight as the silica of the raw water glass and has a high activity, but is gradually polymerized and stabilized by the decrease in alkali. The stabilized low alkali silica is stable for 1 to 6 months, depending on the degree of dealkalization and the concentration of silica. For example, low alkali silica having a silica concentration of about 6% and a pH of 10.9 obtained by dealkalizing No. 3 water glass has a high molar ratio of about 15 and is stable for more than 2 months. .

The activated silicic acid having a pH of 7 or less obtained by adding specific alkalis to the activated silicic acid is also stabilized.

Although activated silicic acid and its pH-adjusted one exhibit acidity, the amount of acid contained is extremely small and does not inhibit the strength development of cement.

The cement used in the present invention is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include Portland cement, alumina cement, blast furnace cement and the like. When importance is placed on the fluidity of the cement suspension, the specific surface area is 3,000 to 7000 cm.
² / g of cement is preferred.

Further, when increasing the initial strength,
Colloidal cement having a specific surface area of 4000 cm ² / g or more and ultrafine cement are preferred.

In order to extend the gel time or improve the durability, it is preferable to use slag together.
In that case, those having a specific surface area of 3000 cm ² / g or more are preferable. As the specific surface area increases, the strength is remarkable and the strength rapidly increases.

In the present invention, a thickener can be further used. As the thickener, montmorillonite clay such as bentonite, kaolin clay and other clay minerals are used as clay minerals.

Further, silt, sand mixed with silt, other sand and the like excavated on site can be used as the sand. In addition, fly ash, coal ash, calcium carbonate, white carbon, limes, other pozzolans, and the like can be used as a reinforcing material or a filler.

In particular, in the backfill injection material for building up, the rising strength can be increased by using a large amount of slaked lime.

In order to increase the initial strength of the solidified material, it is preferable to increase the amount of lime. On the other hand, when the liquid B is fed over a long distance, it is preferable to reduce the amount of lime.

Further, in the present invention, an alkali metal bicarbonate, an alkali metal carbonate or the like can be used to form a uniform gel when mixing the liquids A and B or to lengthen the gelation time.

In the case of using the compounded liquid of the present invention in one shot or in the case of feeding over a long distance, a retarder can be used. Such a retarder is not particularly limited, but is preferably a delay-type fluidizing agent containing ligninsulfonic acid as a main component, or a hydroxycarboxylic acid such as citric acid or tartaric acid.

In order to enhance the filling property of the liquid mixture of the present invention, a fluidizing agent may be added as required. Conversely, in order to prevent sedimentation and separation of cement, aggregate and the like of the compounded liquid of the present invention, carboxycellulose as necessary,
A polymeric thickener such as hydroxyethyl cellulose may be added.

These additives may be used for backfill injection,
It must be appropriately selected and used depending on the situation of the injection point (whether or not the cavity is filled with water, etc.), the type of material, the amount of use, and the like.

The silica concentration in the solution A is preferably 1 to 15%. In addition, when used as a backfill injection material for building up, the amount of silica used is
Preferably 8~35g as the O _2, when used as a back-filling injection material such as tunnels has 4～30G preferably as a blending liquid 1000ml per SiO _2, strengthen soft ground, when using the water stop, it The above amounts may be used.

The cement content in the solution B depends on the strength of the solidified material. In the case of building, the cement content is preferably 200 to 330 g per 1000 ml of the compounding solution, and the total amount of cement, slag and slaked lime is 220 to 400 g. preferable. In the case of a tunnel, 150 to 400 g of cement is preferable per 1000 ml of the compounding liquid.

The ratio of the solution A to the solution B is not particularly limited, and is determined by the silica concentration in the solution A and a desired gelation time. For example, A: B = 1: 1 to 50
(Capacity). Conventionally, proportional injection is generally used in the field of backfill injection material, and this method is preferable because the gelation time can be shortened and the initial strength of the consolidated product can be increased. When a gelling time adjusting agent is added, it is added to the solution B, and its use amount is preferably 10 g or less per 1000 ml of the mixed solution, and is preferably kept to a minimum necessary amount in view of the initial strength.

A foaming agent may be added to the backfilling material of the present invention to be used as an air mortar. Here, the foaming agent is added in order to stably hold bubbles generated by air, and examples thereof include an animal protein and a surfactant called a foaming agent. Further, a light-weight aggregate or a light-weight foam may be added instead of or in addition to the air bubbles to obtain a backfill injection material in which the load acting on the tunnel lining is reduced.

Although the injection method of the present invention is not particularly limited, it is preferable that after the primary gel is formed, the gel is not further mixed (kneaded). If the gelation time is long (20-30 minutes or more), one shot method
If the gelation time is short, use 1.5 shot method, A,
There is a method in which B liquids are separately prepared, pressure-fed by two pumps, merged in front of an injection port, and preferably mixed by a line mixer and injected.
