Mechanical Properties of Iron Tailing Sand Grout Sleeve Joints and Force Analysis.

In this paper, the mechanical properties and internal stress condition of the reinforcing bar sleeve connectors with ferro-tailed mineral sand cementitious grout as filler material were analyzed as research objects. Firstly, an experimental study was carried out on the reinforcing bar sleeve connectors of iron tailing sand grout with a 40% substitution rate of mechanism sand to analyze the mechanical properties of different grout types, age, and reinforcement diameters under unidirectional tensile, high stress, and large deformation of repeated tensile and compressive stresses. Next, five groups of sleeve joints with different anchorage lengths were set up for unidirectional tensile tests. The results show that, with the decrease of the diameter of the reinforcement, the grip force and bond strength of the iron tailing sand grout on the internal reinforcement gradually increase. Under conditions of large deformation and high stress due to repeated tensile loading, the residual deformation and total elongation of iron tailing sand grout sleeve joints are satisfactory. Additionally, the restraining anchorage effect of iron tailing sand grout in the end section is small. The utilization rate and integrity of iron tailing sand grout in the initial anchorage section are better. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
