TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of building materials, in particular to a preparation method of maintenance-free concrete. BACKGROUND
[0002] Concrete is a kind of artificial stone made of cementitious materials, sand and stone aggregates, water and other additives according to suitable proportions. The development of the strength of cast-in-place concrete requires certain humidity and temperature conditions. When the construction site does not have maintenance conditions, the water on the surface of the concrete is easy to evaporate, which can cause cracking or strength reduction of the concrete, and the strength does not meet the standard.
[0003] At present, the domestic concrete construction generally adopts the traditional methods of natural maintenance by watering, maintenance by covering film, and maintenance by covering geotextile. In winter, building electric blankets are also used for maintenance. The above methods are not easy to implement under special environmental conditions. The watering frequency and time need to be adjusted according to the temperature at the time of construction and the size of the concrete member. The film used for maintenance by covering film is not easy to fix and is easy to damage, resulting in poor maintenance effect. The geotextile is flammable and difficult to recycle. The maintenance-free concrete can well solve the above problems, which not only reduces the labor cost but also saves water resources. In areas where water resources are scarce and water is inconvenient to use, the construction can also be guaranteed.
[0004] At present, there are various ways to maintain concrete, one of which is to spray an inhibitor on the surface of the concrete to achieve maintenance. The inhibitor will form a film on the surface of the concrete to inhibit the evaporation of water in the concrete, thereby achieving the purpose of maintenance.
[0005] Patent 200810014216.8 discloses a concrete curing agent, which comprises a benzyl acrylate emulsion, an acrylamide solution, a sodium silicate solution and an organic silane solution. By blocking the capillary pore channel, a strong waterproof layer is formed, which prevents the internal water from evaporating and prevents external harmful substances from entering, thereby helping to improve the durability of the concrete.
[0006] Patent 201710512187.7 discloses an environmentally friendly concrete curing agent and a preparation method thereof, which comprises: 20-25 parts of high-grade fatty acid, 15-20 parts of industrial paraffin, 3-8 parts of stearic acid, 2-3 parts of rosin, 0.5-1.5 parts of caustic soda, 0.2-0.8 parts of triethanolamine, and 180-220 parts of water. The film formed by the invention has good water retention and is easy to peel off.
[0007] Patent 201910124783.7 grafts acrylic monomers onto carboxymethyl cellulose as a base to prepare a composite emulsion as a raw material for a composite concrete curing agent, and then adds water glass, urea and sodium methylsilanol to prepare a composite concrete curing agent with good water retention.
[0008] Patent 202011494072.8 discloses a concrete curing agent, which comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: paraffin emulsion 10-15 parts, styrene-acrylic emulsion 10-20 parts, repair microcapsule 5-10 parts, sodium silicate 5-8 parts, magnesium sulfate 5-8 parts, aluminum sulfate 5-8 parts, animal and plant fibers 4-10 parts, methyl methacrylate 10-20 parts, defoaming agent 1-1.5 parts, leveling agent 1-3 parts, plasticizer 0.2-0.4 parts and deionized water 20-30 parts.
[0009] Patent 202110096319.9 discloses a concrete curing agent, which comprises, in mass parts, 10-80 parts of sodium silicate, 5-60 parts of paraffin emulsion, 1-10 parts of urea, 1-10 parts of coupling agent, 1-10 parts of alkanolamine, 1-10 parts of sodium fluorosilicate, 1-20 parts of film-forming agent, 5-30 parts of superabsorbent resin, 1-20 parts of gelatin, 1-20 parts of diatomite and 90-150 parts of water.
[0010] Although the above curing agent reduces the evaporation of free water in the concrete to some extent, it also causes the reduction of the strength of the concrete. SUMMARY
[0011] The purpose of the application is to provide a preparation method of maintenance-free concrete, which solves the problem of significant reduction of concrete strength and other performances when curing conditions are not available.
[0012] Technical scheme: The application provides a preparation method of maintenance-free concrete, which comprises the following steps:

[0025] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are:
[0026] 1) By using silica sol or saturated calcium hydroxide solution to infiltrate the surface of the concrete aggregate, and by the action of carbon dioxide in the air, nanocrystalline nuclei are deposited on the surface of the concrete aggregate, which can promote the hydration of cement; at the same time, by using the thermal insulation concrete formwork, the heat loss of the heat released during the hydration of concrete is reduced, and the heat of the hydration heat is utilized to accelerate the hydration of cement, thereby reducing the water loss caused by the long setting time of concrete.
[0027] 2) The concrete protective layer material is used for finishing and collecting light, can absorb the bleeding water on the surface of the concrete, fill and repair the bleeding water channel on the surface of the concrete, and harden on the surface of the concrete quickly to seal the water in the concrete, thereby reducing the loss of water in the concrete. In the protective layer material, sodium carbonate, sodium silicate, aluminum sulfate and the like can consume calcium hydroxide in the concrete to form calcium carbonate, calcium silicate, ettringite and the like to fill the holes on the surface of the concrete, and limestone powder and quartz sand powder mainly play the role of filler and aggregate to solve the surface layer sanding and peeling phenomenon caused by the sinking of the aggregate on the surface of the concrete.
[0028] 3) The use of water-saturated ceramic sand and water-absorbing resin in the porous steel pipe solves the problem of water supplement for the concrete and the problem of reduction of the strength of the concrete caused by the use of ceramic sand and water-absorbing resin under normal conditions.
[0029] 4) The use of cellulose fiber and fiber tube can improve the crack resistance of the concrete, and in the case of water shortage of the concrete, in addition to supplementing alkaline water for the concrete, the unreacted cement particles and auxiliary cementitious materials in the concrete can be excited to store power for the later strength of the concrete.
