Zusammenfassung: | The search for construction materials that contribute to 5G signal transmission is important for the development of modern communication technologies. In this paper, the mechanical properties of white Portland cement (WPC) paste mixed with basalt fiber (BF) were analyzed and its electromagnetic properties were fully investigated. First, the fluidity and strength of WPC pastes with different BF contents were tested. Subsequently, the electromagnetic parameters of WPC paste samples were tested in the frequency band of 3.94 GHz–5.99 GHz, and their electromagnetic transmission properties were calculated. Finally, the mechanism of BF affecting the strength and electromagnetic transmission performance of WPC pastes was profiled using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP). The results show that BF can reduce the fluidity of WPC pastes. With the increase of BF doping, the strength of WPC paste rises and then decreases, and reaches the maximum strength when the volume content of BF is 0.6%. With the increase of BF content, the electromagnetic wave reflection rate of WPC paste decreases, but the absorption and transmission rate increases. The bridging effect of BF, etc. improves the strength of the paste. In WPC pastes, with the increase of BF doping, the increase of electromagnetic wave absorption rate is smaller than the decrease of reflection rate, which leads to the improvement of electromagnetic transmission performance. |
