Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to self-repairing high-performance concrete. Background Art

[0002] Roads and bridges are the lifeblood of modern society, and their health directly impacts people's quality of life and economic development. However, over time, these infrastructure structures often develop cracks, voids, and other forms of damage due to various factors, such as traffic loads, environmental corrosion, and material aging. Traditional repair methods are often time-consuming and costly, and do not necessarily guarantee long-term effectiveness. In recent years, self-healing concrete technology has attracted widespread attention as a new and promising solution.

[0003] The core idea of ​​self-repair technology is to use specific materials and technologies to enable concrete to self-repair after being damaged, thereby extending its service life. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a self-repairing high-performance concrete with the advantages of self-repairing, crack prevention and anti-seepage.

[0005] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A self-repairing high-performance concrete comprises the following components, calculated by mass: 100 parts of cement, 120-200 parts of fine aggregate, 300-500 parts of coarse aggregate, 20-80 parts of water, 4-6 parts of aluminum chloride hexahydrate, 15-25 parts of fly ash and 8-12 parts of silica fume.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, cement, fly ash and silica fume are used to generate crystals to fill and seal cracks and improve durability. Aluminum chloride hexahydrate forms calcium hydroxide with calcium ions in a water environment and diffuses into the accumulated water in the pores and cracks of concrete to perform secondary repair and prevent cracking and seepage.

[0008] Furthermore, it also contains 2 to 3 parts of citric acid and 1 to 2 parts of sodium gluconate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the cement hydration reaction is delayed, making the reaction milder and forming a more stable concrete structure. The formed crystals are gradually released, further enhancing the repair effect.

[0010] Furthermore, it also contains 0.4 to 0.6 parts of nano silicon dioxide.

[0011] The above technical solution is used to react with water to form a colloid, which diffuses into the accumulated water in the pores and cracks of the concrete to carry out repairs.

[0012] Furthermore, mineralizing microorganisms are also included.

[0013] Furthermore, the mineralizing microorganism is selected from Bacillus.

[0014] Using the above technical solution, the study found that some microorganisms have the function of inducing calcium carbonate deposition. When concrete mixed with mineralizing microorganisms cracks, a large amount of calcium carbonate precipitation will form in the cracks, which provides the possibility of achieving self-repair of concrete cracks.

[0015] Furthermore, the mineralized microorganism is coated with a coating layer, and the coating layer contains epoxy resin and polyacrylamide in a mass ratio of 2 to 4:1.

[0016] Furthermore, the coating layer is coated on the outside of the mineralized microorganism by the following method:

[0017] Epoxy resin, polyacrylamide and water are mixed evenly in a mass ratio of 2-4:1:1-2 to prepare a coating slurry, and the coating slurry is evenly sprayed on the immobilized mineralized microorganisms by spray drying. After coating, the coating is dried for later use.

[0018] The above technical solution is adopted to prevent the loss of microorganisms in the carrier and reduce the impact of the external environment on the activity of microorganisms.

[0019] The technical effects of the present invention are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0020] Cement and mineral dopants are used to generate crystals, fill and seal cracks, improve crack resistance and impermeability, increase durability, and have a self-repairing effect;

[0021] Adding additives can delay the cement hydration reaction and react with water to form a colloid, making the reaction milder and forming a more stable concrete structure. The formed crystals are gradually released for repair;

[0022] The self-repair of concrete cracks can be achieved by utilizing the ability of microorganisms to induce calcium carbonate deposition. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
