Correlation Analysis between Microscopic Pore Parameters and Macroscopic Mechanical Properties of Rock-like Materials from the Perspective of Water-Cement Ratio and Sand-Cement Ratio.

To explore the effects of water-cement ratio and sand-cement ratio on micro-pore structure characteristics and macroscopic mechanical properties and thus improve the understanding of rock-like materials, the mechanical test and detection of micro-pore structure combining NMR and SEM were carried out. The effects of WCR and SCR on different porosity parameters and mechanical properties were discussed. The correlation and internal relationship between mechanical properties and parameters of different porosities and fractal dimensions were analyzed. Experimental results showed that the different porosity parameters and fractal dimensions increased with the increase in WCR. 1.0 (SCR) was the turning point of different porosity parameters and fractal dimensions. When the SCR was less than 1.0, the porosity parameters and fractal dimension gradually decreased, while when the SCR was greater than 1.0, the porosity parameters and fractal dimension gradually increased. Microscopic porosity parameters and fractal dimension played an important role in the influence of experimental factors on mechanical properties. Different porosity parameters and fractal dimensions were negatively correlated with mechanical properties. Compressive strength and different porosity parameters conformed to a good exponential relationship, while the fitting relationship between tensile strength and mechanical properties was not obvious. This study can provide a reference for the follow-up study of rock-like materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
