Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of concrete, and particularly to a crack-resistant self-repairing mass concrete and its application. Background Art

[0002] Mass concrete refers to the large-volume concrete with the minimum size of the concrete structure entity not less than 1 m, which is commonly found in the pier foundations of large bridges, hydraulic discharge structures in water conservancy projects, dock walls and dock floor slabs in dock projects, and wharves in marine engineering projects, etc. Due to the huge volume of concrete in mass concrete and the large amount of cement used, a large amount of heat will be released during the hydration process of cement, resulting in an increase in the internal temperature of the concrete, a large temperature difference with the external environment, and it is easy to generate temperature cracks. In addition to the cracks caused by temperature stress, cracks may also occur in the structure due to the combined action of various factors such as the self-shrinkage of concrete (such as drying shrinkage, autogenous shrinkage, etc.) and external constraints, which will affect the integrity, durability, waterproofness and other properties of the structure. Therefore, in the pouring of mass concrete, the control of concrete cracks is of utmost importance.

[0003] At present, the crack repair methods mainly rely on regular inspection of the structure and manual filling to repair cracks. These repair methods not only increase the number of repeated construction and the cost, but also if the repair material has poor compatibility with the concrete, it is very easy to break between the crack and the repair material, affecting the repair effect. Therefore, the self-repair technology that can actively sense and repair concrete cracks has become a research hotspot in the concrete field. There are many principles of self-repairing concrete. One method is to use a microbial repair agent. By adding microorganisms that can produce mineralization to the concrete, the self-repair effect can be achieved when cracks occur. However, directly adding microorganisms to the concrete will affect the lifespan and efficacy of the microorganisms. In order to improve the mineralization self-repair efficacy of microorganisms, various methods of coating microorganisms have been disclosed in the prior art, and the microorganisms are encapsulated in spherical polymers or silica-based materials. However, the volume of this spherical self-repair agent is relatively small, and the particle size is often only a few hundred micrometers to a few millimeters. A large amount of addition is often required to achieve the crack self-repair effect, but this will lead to a decrease in the compressive strength of the concrete. Moreover, if the crack resistance of the concrete is not controlled, when the self-repair agent is consumed, the cracks can only be repaired manually. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a crack-resistant self-healing mass concrete. By adding a crack-resistant self-healing fiber mesh, the crack-resistant grid reduces the cracking and generation of cracks in the mass concrete. When cracks occur, it can promptly respond to release the microbial repair agent. The microorganisms are activated under the conditions of nutrients and water, and metabolize to generate calcium carbonate to fill the cracks in the concrete, achieving self-repair of the damage to the concrete structure and extending the service life of the concrete structure.

[0005] The technical solutions to achieve the object of the present invention are as follows:

[0006] A crack-resistant self-healing mass concrete, comprising a steel reinforcement cage and the concrete for casting the steel reinforcement cage. An anti-cracking self-healing fiber mesh is tied to the outer surface of the steel reinforcement cage. The anti-cracking self-healing fiber mesh has a grid-shaped fiber as the core, and the outer surface is successively loaded with a microbial repair agent hydrogel layer, a polymer layer, a nutrient hydrogel layer, and a polymer outer layer. The polymer layer and the polymer outer layer are a composition of polylactic acid and polystyrene, and the thickness of the polymer outer layer ≥ 900 μm.

[0007] Preferably, the thickness of the polymer outer layer is 920 - 1300 μm.

[0008] In a specific embodiment, the preparation method of the anti-cracking self-healing fiber mesh comprises the following steps:

[0009] S1. Immerse the grid-shaped fiber in sodium alginate and spore suspension, and then immediately immerse it in a calcium cross-linking agent solution, take it out and dry it. Repeat the above operations 0 - 3 times to form a microbial repair agent hydrogel layer;

[0010] S2. Immerse the grid-shaped fiber with the microbial repair agent hydrogel layer obtained in step S1 in a polymer material solution, take it out and dry it. Repeat the above operations 0 - 3 times to form a polymer layer;

[0011] S3. Immerse the grid-shaped fiber with the two-layer structure obtained in step S2 in a nutrient and sodium alginate suspension, and then immediately immerse it in a calcium cross-linking agent solution, take it out and dry it. Repeat the above operations 0 - 3 times to form a nutrient hydrogel layer;

[0012] S4. Immerse the grid-shaped fiber with the three-layer structure obtained in step S3 in a polymer material solution, take it out and dry it. Repeat the above operations 0 - 3 times to form a polymer outer layer, and obtain the anti-cracking self-healing fiber mesh.

[0013] The crack-resistant self-repairing fiber mesh is laid on the surface layer of the steel reinforcement cage of mass concrete. Its crack-resistant grid can improve the tensile strength of the concrete, reduce the cracking of mass concrete and the generation of harmful cracks. When cracks are generated in the concrete due to drying shrinkage or temperature shrinkage, water and oxygen penetrate through the micro-cracks from the surrounding environment. At this time, the polymer layer and the polymer outer layer of the crack-resistant self-repairing fiber mesh are destructed in response to the cracks, and the hydrogel carrying spores is exposed to nutrients. The spores germinate and generate self-repairing end products, namely microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation, so as to repair the exposed cracks.

[0014] In a specific embodiment, the preparation method of the sodium alginate and spore suspension is as follows: bacteria with the ability to induce the formation of CaCO 3 are cultured in a culture medium, the strains are extracted, washed with PBS buffer solution, and then inoculated into a basal salt medium. They are treated in a boiling water bath and an ice water bath for a period of time to form spores, and the spores and sodium alginate are mixed to obtain the sodium alginate and spore suspension.

[0015] Studies have shown that the endospores produced by bacteria with the ability to induce the formation of CaCO 3 through the above-mentioned boiling water bath and ice water bath treatments can germinate under harsh alkaline conditions (pH value of 12), high salinity environments (up to 100 g / L), and freeze-thaw cycles (temperature of -10°C to 60°C), so that the spores can germinate in the high-alkali environment of concrete and the high-salinity environment of marine engineering buildings.

[0016] In another specific embodiment, bacteria with the ability to induce the formation of CaCO 3 can also be adapted to the highly alkaline chemical environment through the means of alkaline tolerance training by gradually increasing the pH concentration.

[0017] Preferably, the concentration of the sodium alginate is 6 - 18 g / L. When the concentration of the sodium alginate is within the preferred range, the adhesion force between the sodium alginate and spore suspension and the grid-shaped fiber can be improved.

[0018] In a specific embodiment, the calcium cross-linking agent solution is at least one of calcium chloride and calcium acetate; preferably, the calcium cross-linking agent solution is a mixed solution of calcium chloride and calcium acetate, and the mass ratio of calcium chloride to calcium acetate is 1:1.

[0019] In a specific embodiment, the mass ratio of the polystyrene to the polylactic acid is (1 to 3):1; the polylactic acid has good compatibility with the hydrogel and can form a uniform protective shell on the outer layer of the hydrogel. However, the polylactic acid is relatively brittle and the impact resistance effect is average. The compatibility of the polystyrene with the hydrogel is not as good as that of the polylactic acid. When used alone, the polymer layer is uneven and there are a small number of bubbles. However, its waterproof and impact resistance effects are good. Mixing the polylactic acid and the polystyrene for use as the outer protective layer of the crack-resistant self-repairing fiber mesh is beneficial to forming a uniform polymer layer and has the best waterproof and impact resistance effects.

[0020] Preferably, the polymer layer is formed after the evaporation of the polymer material solution. The concentration of the polymer material solution is 12 g / L to 20 g / L, and it is prepared by dissolving the polystyrene and the polylactic acid in chloroform. When the polymer material is 12 to 16 g / L, at least 2 layers or more of the polymer layer are required to effectively form a water-impermeable and impact-resistant polymer layer. When the concentration of the polymer material is 16 to 20 g / L, a single-layer polymer can also achieve effective waterproof and impact resistance effects.

[0021] In a specific embodiment, the mesh shape is at least one of a basalt fiber mesh and a glass fiber mesh.

[0022] In a specific embodiment, the nutrients in the nutrient hydrogel layer are yeast extract, calcium source, and urea, and the hydrogel is sodium alginate hydrogel; preferably, the calcium source is calcium acetate.

[0023] In a specific embodiment, the mix proportion of the concrete is as follows: coarse aggregate 1100 to 1300 kg / m 3 、fine aggregate 600 to 800 kg / m 3 、cement 200 to 400 kg / m 3 、silica fume 40 to 60 kg / m 3 、fly ash 40 to 60 kg / m 3 、water reducing agent 1 to 10 kg / m 3 、water 80 to 150 kg / m 3 .

[0024] In a specific embodiment, the fine aggregate is natural river sand or manufactured sand; the coarse aggregate is crushed stone or pebble; the cement is ordinary Portland cement, low heat Portland cement, or medium heat Portland cement.

[0025] In a specific embodiment, the particle size of the coarse aggregate is 5 to 80 mm. Preferably, the coarse aggregate is obtained by grading three levels of crushed stone or pebble with particle sizes of 5 to 20 mm, 20 to 40 mm, and 40 to 80 mm.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, the cement is at least one of ordinary Portland cement, low heat Portland cement or medium heat Portland cement.

[0027] Another object of the present invention is to protect a method for preparing the mass concrete, comprising the following steps:

[0028] After the steel cage is tied up, a layer of crack-resistant self-repairing fiber mesh is tied on the outer surface of the steel cage. The coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, cement, silica fume and fly ash are put into the mixing station and stirred for 1 - 2 minutes, then the ice-water mixture is added, and after stirring for 2 - 5 minutes, the water reducing agent is added and stirring continues until the ice cubes are fully melted; the concrete is poured in layers in the steel formwork, with a uniform cloth of 30 - 50 cm for each layer, and vibrated until the surface of the concrete presents cement paste and no longer sinks and basically does not bubble; the surface of the vibrated and leveled concrete is covered with a plastic film, and after hardening, the formwork is removed, and standard curing is carried out for at least 28 days.

[0029] Another object of the present invention is to protect the application of the crack-resistant self-repairing mass concrete in hydraulic structures or marine structures.

[0030] Beneficial effects

[0031] The present invention provides a crack-resistant self-repairing mass concrete. By adding a crack-resistant self-repairing fiber mesh, harmful cracks in the mass concrete can be effectively reduced, and when cracks occur, the microbial repair agent is released in a responsive manner, the microorganisms are activated, and under the action of nutrients and calcium sources, calcium carbonate is metabolized and generated to fill the cracks in the concrete, realizing the self-repair of the damage to the concrete structure and prolonging the service life of the concrete structure. The crack-resistant self-repairing fiber mesh provided by the present invention is different from the spherical structure of traditional self-repairing materials. The crack-resistant effect of the grid-shaped fiber not only effectively reduces the cracking of the mass concrete, but also when cracking occurs, the self-repairing agent loaded on the surface of the grid-shaped fiber can respond in a timely manner, improving the reliability of the self-repairing concrete.

[0090] Example 1

[0091] A crack-resistant self-healing mass concrete

[0092] It includes a steel reinforcement cage and the concrete for casting the steel reinforcement cage.

Put the coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, cement, silica fume, and fly ash into the mixing station, stir for 1-2 minutes, then add the ice-water mixture, stir for 2-5 minutes, and then add the water reducing agent and continue stirring until the ice cubes are fully melted. Pour the concrete in layers in the steel formwork, with a uniform distribution of 30-50 cm for each layer, and vibrate until the concrete surface shows cement paste and no longer sinks and there are basically no bubbles on the surface. Cover the vibrated and leveled concrete surface with a plastic film, remove the formwork after hardening, and cure under standard conditions for at least 28 days.

[0103] Performance Test

[0104] The following tests are carried out on the concrete, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0107] (3) Self-healing effect: Take a part of the concrete in the example and the concrete in the comparative example, and respectively form 10 round cake specimens with a diameter of φ100 * 50 mm. After reaching the age of 7 days, use a pressing method to press through cracks with a width of 0.2 - 0.5 mm in the middle of the round cake. Then, test the initial water seepage through the through cracks using an anti-seepage device, and then carry out soaking maintenance. Test the crack water seepage after soaking for 10 days, 20 days, and 40 days respectively. Finally, evaluate the repair degree of the concrete cracks by the ratio of the water seepage after maintenance to the initial water seepage. The lower the ratio, the better the crack repair. When the result is 0, it means the cracks have been repaired. The water seepage of each test is the average value of all specimens.

[0109]

[0110]

[0111] It can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 5 that if the grid-shaped fibers are replaced with chopped fibers, the crack-resistant effect cannot be achieved, and at the same time, because the dispersion effect of the chopped fibers is not good, the self-healing function of the concrete is also affected.

[0112] It can be seen from Example 1, 4 and Comparative Example 1 that when the grid-shaped fibers are selected as basalt fiber mesh and glass fiber mesh, they both have good crack-resistant and self-healing effects. However, due to the smooth surface of the iron wire mesh, the adhesion of sodium alginate on the iron wire surface is insufficient, resulting in less self-healing agent loaded and a lower thickness of the polymer layer, and the self-healing effect is poor.

[0113] It can be seen from Example 1 - 3 and Comparative Examples 3 and 4 that the polymer outer layer needs to meet a thickness of ≥900 μm and a certain impact resistance to resist the impact force during concrete pouring. Otherwise, the polymer outer layer will rupture in advance, resulting in the hydrogel of the nutrient layer absorbing water and swelling during the mixing period, and instead leaving holes after dehydration in the later stage. And the diffusion of nutrients also affects the compressive performance of the concrete, and at the same time causes harmful cracks with a larger width.

[0114] It can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 that when polystyrene is used alone, since the formed polymer layer is not uniform enough and the thickness of the lower part is relatively low, it is easy to rupture, resulting in an impact on the self-healing performance of the concrete.
