Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of concrete performance testing devices, and in particular to a freeze-thaw-wind erosion-load coupled concrete damage testing device and method. Background Art

[0002] In the northwestern plateau region, characterized by large temperature swings and strong winds, serving concrete structures face the dual damage of freeze-thaw cycles and wind-blown erosion. In an environment characterized by drastic temperature fluctuations between day and night, the water content of the concrete repeatedly freezes and melts, causing volume changes that lead to the formation and expansion of microcracks within the concrete. At the same time, strong winds carry large amounts of sand, which abrasively damages the concrete surface, weakening its erosion resistance and accelerating material degradation. Furthermore, concrete structures are constantly under load during their service, and the application of loads triggers stress concentration, further amplifying the cumulative damage effects of freeze-thaw and wind-blown erosion. The coupled effects of freeze-thaw, wind-blown erosion, and loads overlap and interact with each other, forming a complex coupled damage mechanism that causes concrete deterioration to be much faster than that caused by a single factor, with significant acceleration effects among the multiple factors.

[0003] In related technologies, most test devices can only simulate the effects of a single factor, such as a single freeze-thaw cycle or a single wind-sand erosion. The so-called freeze-thaw cycle and wind-sand erosion coupling test actually applies these two factors in sequence, which is an indirect coupling. It fails to truly achieve the coupling of freeze-thaw cycles and wind-sand erosion, and often ignores the load factors in the service process of concrete. As a result, the test results of existing test devices are difficult to truly and accurately reflect the initial damage evolution of concrete in service in the complex environment of the northwestern plateau and its relationship with durability degradation.
