Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of concrete crack electrodeposition repair effect evaluation, and relates to a concrete crack electrodeposition repair effect evaluation method based on alternating current impedance. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a new concrete structure crack repair method, the electrodeposition method for repairing concrete cracks can better meet the service conditions of concrete structures in water environment, and has been more and more studied and gradually applied to the repair of underground structure concrete cracks in recent years.
[0003] The electrodeposition method is to induce cations to migrate into concrete cracks to form deposits to block the cracks and achieve the repair effect under the water environment through the electric field. Compared with the existing grouting method, the electrodeposition method does not need to drill holes and has less damage to the structure itself. At present, the evaluation of the repair effect of the concrete structure cracks repaired by the electrodeposition method mainly includes the mass increase rate, the surface coverage rate, the crack healing rate, the crack filling depth, the permeability, the ultrasonic detection and the steel bar half-cell potential. The above methods have limitations such as the inability to directly reflect the repair degree, the low damage detection and the low sensitivity, and have great limitations in the electrodeposition repair construction site. SUMMARY
[0004] The purpose of the application is to provide a concrete crack electrodeposition repair effect evaluation method based on alternating current impedance to overcome the defects of the prior art such as the inability to directly reflect the repair degree, the need for damage detection or the low sensitivity.

The above electrodes are immersed in an electrolyte, and an electrochemical workstation is used for impedance-frequency test to detect the impedance values of the concrete before cracking, after cracking and at the repair time t. Further, the repair rate after electrodeposition repair is calculated. When the repair rate is less than 70%, it indicates that the electrodeposition repair is not completed, and the electrodeposition repair needs to be continued at the concrete crack. When the repair rate is greater than or equal to 70%, it indicates that the electrodeposition repair is completed. Compared with the prior art, the concrete crack electrodeposition repair effect evaluation method based on alternating current impedance is convenient to operate and can realize in-situ monitoring during crack repair.
