Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of concrete material property testing, and in particular to a method and device for rapid intelligent testing of concrete water absorption. Background Art

[0002] The durability of reinforced concrete structures depends on the rate and process of the migration of corrosive media into the material, among which water transfer is the most basic and critical. Water is a direct participant in the freeze-thaw damage process of concrete and a carrier for the migration of corrosive media such as chloride ions. The water content significantly affects the migration rate of media such as carbon dioxide and oxygen, and has an important impact on durability degradation.

[0003] Several international standards, represented by ISO standard ISO 15148:2002 / Amd2016 and American Society for Testing and Materials standard ASTM C1585-20, have established standard test methods for capillary water absorption of concrete. In GB / T50081-2019 "Standard for Test Methods for Physical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete", my country uses the weight method to test the water absorption of concrete, that is, the water absorption is calculated by measuring the cumulative water absorption mass per unit area. However, the test specimen needs to be taken out many times during the test, and it is impossible to measure automatically in real time, the measurement error is large, and the test time is as long as several days. The ambient temperature of concrete structures during service varies greatly, which has a great impact on the water absorption of concrete. The existing test methods (CN 218823808 U, CN 105588778 B, CN108132206B, CN 113533141A) do not consider the influence of temperature, let alone the influence and test problems under different temperatures and pressures.

[0004] my country has a large-scale concrete infrastructure. In order to better serve the durability evaluation of concrete, a rapid intelligent testing method and device for concrete water absorption is proposed, which is an urgent problem to be solved by the present invention. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention proposes a concrete water absorption test method and device which can test different pressures, temperatures and specimen sizes.

[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A rapid intelligent testing device for concrete water absorption, comprising a display screen, a plurality of test grids, a test box cover, a test box, a stainless steel mesh, a temperature sensor, an infrared ranging sensor, a pressurizing hole, a water injection hole, a temperature control device, a pressurizing device, a computer host, and a water storage device;

[0008] The display screen can display the temperature, pressure, liquid level change and water absorption rate in each test cell in real time;

[0009] The bottom of each test cell is a stainless steel mesh, a temperature sensor and a temperature control device;

[0010] The test box cover is connected to the test box, so that a closed space with constant temperature and pressure is formed in each test cell, and the top of the test box cover is an infrared ranging sensor, a pressurization hole and a water injection hole;

[0011] The multiple test cells can be set with different pressures and water temperatures, and the temperature control device in each test cell is relatively independent, so that water absorption tests at different temperatures and pressures can be performed simultaneously;

[0012] The pressurized holes in each test cell are relatively independent, and water absorption tests at different pressures can be carried out simultaneously.

[0013] Furthermore, the pressurizing device is connected to the water storage device through a first rubber hose; water can be automatically injected during the test, and the water injection button is clicked on the display screen, so that the gas in the pressurizing device enters the water storage device through the first rubber hose, so that water is injected into the test grid through the second rubber hose in the test box cover; the infrared ranging sensor automatically monitors the change of the liquid level and responds in real time on the display screen, and when the liquid level change reaches the set value, the water injection is stopped.

[0014] Furthermore, pressure and temperature buttons are set on the display screen, and the start button is clicked. The pressurizing device applies air pressure to the test box through the third rubber hose and the pressurizing hole in the test box cover. At the same time, the temperature control device at the bottom of the test grid starts working. When the set pressure and temperature are reached, the pressurization and heating are stopped.

[0015] Furthermore, the maximum size of the specimen may be a 100 mm × 100 mm × 100 mm concrete cube or a φ100 mm × 100 mm cylinder.

[0016] Furthermore, the temperature control device can control the water temperature to change between 0°C and 80°C to test the water absorption rate of concrete at different temperatures; the test grid is made of constant temperature material, which can keep the water temperature in the test grid constant.

[0017] Furthermore, the pressurizing device can control the pressure to be stable at 0MPa to 2MPa, and the pressure value can be set according to the detection requirements to accelerate the test process.

[0018] Furthermore, the infrared distance measuring sensor has a detection distance of 1 mm to 50 mm, and can automatically detect changes in the liquid level by emitting infrared signals, and can automatically transmit changes in the liquid level to the computer host and reflect them on the display screen; and / or,

[0019] The temperature sensor and infrared distance sensor are connected to the computer host through signal lines, and real-time monitoring can be performed.

[0020] Furthermore, the water absorption of concrete is calculated according to the following formula.

[0021]

[0022] Where: s is the cross-sectional area of ​​the test cell, h is the drop in liquid level, ρ is the density of water at the heating temperature, and m is the mass of the concrete specimen in the dry state.

[0023] A quick and intelligent method for testing the water absorption of concrete is also provided. Using the above-mentioned testing device, a test piece is first made for water absorption testing. The testing steps are as follows:

[0024] S1: Drying the concrete specimens;

[0025] S2: Set the test system, that is, set the temperature and pressure of the concrete specimen;

[0026] S3: Place the dried specimen into the test grid, and connect the test box cover to the test box through the connecting device; start the computer host, and the indicator lights of each sensor on the display screen show normal, and start the test;

[0027] S4: First, water is automatically injected. Click the water injection button on the display screen. The gas in the pressurizing device enters the water storage device through the rubber hose, so that water is injected into the six test cells through the second rubber hose in the test box cover. The infrared ranging sensor automatically monitors the change of the liquid level and reflects it in real time on the display screen. When the change of the liquid level reaches the set value, the test cell automatically stops injecting water, and the rubber hose channel between the pressurizing device and the water storage device is closed.

[0028] S5: Set the pressure and temperature of each test cell on the display screen, click the start button to start the test; the pressurizing device applies air pressure to the test box through the third rubber hose and the pressurizing hole in the test box cover, and the temperature control device at the bottom of the test cell starts working. When the set pressure and temperature are reached, the pressurization and heating are stopped;

[0029] S6: During this process, the infrared ranging sensor continuously monitors the changes in the liquid level and reflects it on the display screen. When the liquid level no longer changes, the test is stopped.

[0030] Furthermore, the drying is as follows: drying the specimen in a blast drying oven controlled at (105±5)°C for 24 hours, cooling it to room temperature and weighing it; continuing to dry it for 24 hours, taking out the specimen, cooling it to room temperature, and recording the mass of the specimen; the specimen drying time should not be less than 48 hours, until the mass change between two consecutive 24-hour intervals is less than 0.2% of the smaller value, stopping the drying, and recording the mass m of the specimen;

[0031] Six concrete specimens were used, and the temperature and pressure of the six specimens were as follows: specimen 1: 20℃, 0.5MPa; specimen 2: 20℃, 1MPa; specimen 3: 20℃, 1.5MPa; specimen 4: 60℃, 0.5MPa; specimen 5: 60℃, 1MPa; specimen 6: 60℃, 1.5MPa.

[0032] Technical effects of the present invention:

[0033] The present invention can simultaneously carry out rapid intelligent testing of concrete water absorption rate at different pressures (0MPa-2MPa), different temperatures (0°C-80°C), and different sizes (maximum size is 100mm×100mm×100mm cube or φ100mm×100mm cylinder, etc.).

[0034] 1. Comprehensive evaluation: Tests under different temperature and pressure conditions can provide more comprehensive concrete water absorption data. These data reflect the water absorption performance of concrete under different environmental conditions, helping engineers and researchers to more comprehensively evaluate the actual use of concrete materials.

[0035] 2. Adapt to different environments: Considering that concrete may face different temperature and humidity conditions in actual applications, multi-condition testing can simulate water absorption in various environments and provide more accurate data support for actual engineering design.

[0036] 3. Save time and cost: By setting up multiple test conditions for testing at one time, more data can be obtained in a shorter time, thus saving experimental time and cost. This is especially important for concrete material evaluation for large-scale or complex projects.

[0037] 4. Optimize concrete formula and design: By comparing the water absorption data under different conditions, it can help engineers optimize concrete formula and structural design to improve the concrete's impermeability and durability, and ensure its long-term stability and performance in different environments.

[0038] 5. Scientific research and theoretical exploration: Systematic research on water absorption under multiple conditions will help to deeply understand the water absorption mechanism and influencing factors of concrete materials at the molecular level, and provide a scientific basis for the further development and improvement of concrete materials.

[0039] In summary, conducting concrete water absorption tests at different temperatures and pressures simultaneously not only helps to improve the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the test, but also provides important data support and theoretical basis for the engineering application and scientific research of concrete materials.
