Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of concrete, and particularly to a high-strength concrete and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In modern infrastructure construction, high-strength concrete is widely used in key fields such as high-rise buildings, bridges, tunnels, and ocean engineering due to its excellent mechanical properties and durability. These engineering structures usually bear complex load conditions, such as heavy load impact, long-term fatigue, extreme temperature changes, and the action of erosive media. Therefore, extremely high requirements are put forward for the mechanical strength, crack resistance, and environmental adaptability of concrete. High-strength concrete not only needs to have high compressive strength to withstand super-large loads, but also needs to have excellent tensile properties to inhibit the generation and expansion of cracks. In addition, since concrete will inevitably be affected by micro-cracks during service, the expansion of cracks may lead to a decline in the overall performance of the structure and even affect safety. Therefore, high-strength concrete with self-healing ability has become the focus of research. The self-healing ability can automatically close the cracks through the self-repair mechanism inside the material, such as chemical reactions to generate fillers or microbial-induced deposition, after the cracks appear, thereby improving the durability and service life of concrete. By improving the strength and self-healing ability of concrete, not only can the maintenance cost be reduced and the engineering life be extended, but also the safety and stability of the structure can be improved, which is of great significance for promoting the development of modern civil engineering and infrastructure construction. Therefore, researching a concrete material with both high strength and self-healing ability is crucial for meeting the development needs of future high-performance concrete.
[0003] At present, high-strength concrete still faces some technical bottlenecks in engineering applications, especially in terms of balancing high strength and self-healing characteristics. For example, Chinese Patent No. CN107151115A discloses a high-strength concrete, which achieves relatively high compressive strength by optimizing the aggregate gradation and cementitious material composition, but lacks an effective self-healing mechanism and cannot self-repair after cracks occur, resulting in insufficient durability. In addition, some studies have tried to introduce self-repairing materials into concrete, such as microcapsule-based self-repairing systems or microbial-induced deposition systems. For example, Chinese Patent No. CN103739223A discloses a preparation method of a slow-release microcapsule-based concrete admixture, which realizes self-repair through microcapsules, but its mechanical properties are not significantly improved compared with ordinary concrete and it is difficult to meet the requirements of high-strength structures. The reasons are as follows: on the one hand, current high-strength concrete mostly relies on high cement consumption and high-density design, which may reduce the permeability of cracks and thus affect the transmission and reaction efficiency of self-repairing materials in cracks; on the other hand, existing self-healing technologies often face problems such as low repair efficiency, long repair time, and poor environmental adaptability, and it is difficult to play a long-term stable role in harsh engineering environments. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a concrete material with both high strength and high self-healing ability, which can achieve rapid self-repair of cracks while ensuring mechanical properties to meet the application requirements of future high-performance concrete in complex engineering environments. Summary of the Invention
[0004] (1) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-strength concrete and its preparation method to solve the problems of insufficient strength and self-healing performance of current concrete.
[0006] (2) Technical solutions
[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0008] A high-strength concrete comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 1.5 - 3.5 parts of modified basalt chopped fibers, 2.5 - 3.5 parts of self-repairing agent, 100 - 120 parts of P·II 52.5 cement, 80 - 100 parts of secondary fly ash, 30 - 40 parts of slag fly ash, 180 - 200 parts of water, 622 - 796 parts of basalt coarse aggregate, 750 - 900 parts of natural sand, 9.0 - 14.0 parts of polycarboxylate-based water reducer, and 0.5 - 3.0 parts of rosin-based air-entraining agent.
[0009] The modified basalt chopped fibers are obtained by subjecting basalt chopped fibers to surface oxidation treatment, acid etching treatment, and nano-silica modification treatment;
[0010] The self-repairing agent described above is a composite material obtained by a process of culturing bacteria, centrifugal purification, impregnation adsorption, and low-temperature vacuum drying, with Bacillus bacteria loaded on the surface of expanded perlite particles.
[0011] Furthermore, the preparation method of the self-repairing agent includes the following steps: Dissolve beef extract, peptone, and sodium chloride in deionized water to prepare a nutrient solution, adjust the pH to 9.5 - 10.0 with sodium bicarbonate solution to form an alkaline nutrient solution, inoculate Bacillus bacteria and perform shaking culture to obtain a bacterial solution, and after centrifugal separation, wash and purify the bacteria with a buffer solution to obtain a bacterial suspension; then immerse expanded perlite particles in the bacterial suspension, filter, and finally form a self-repairing agent with a microbial loading layer after vacuum drying treatment.
[0012] Furthermore, the nutrient solution includes 4.0 - 6.0 g / L of beef extract, 10.0 - 12.0 g / L of peptone, 5.0 - 15.0 g / L of glucose, 4.0 - 5.0 g / L of sodium chloride, 1.0 - 3.0 g / L of potassium dihydrogen phosphate / dipotassium hydrogen phosphate buffer system, and 0.5 - 1.0 g / L of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate.
[0013] Furthermore, the preparation process of the bacterial suspension includes: Inoculate 0.5 - 1.5 parts of Bacillus bacteria into 120 - 150 parts of alkaline nutrient solution, perform constant-temperature shaking culture at 28 - 32 °C and 110 - 130 rpm for 4 - 8 h, then centrifuge at 5500 - 6500 rpm for 4 - 6 min, discard the supernatant, add a sufficient amount of phosphate buffer solution with pH 7.2 - 7.6 to resuspend the bacteria, repeat centrifugation and washing 2 - 3 times to purify the bacteria, and finally dilute the purified bacteria with 30 - 50 parts of sterile water to a cell concentration of 3.2×10 9 ~4.0×10 9 cells / mL to obtain a bacterial suspension, and store it refrigerated at 2 - 6 °C.
[0014] Furthermore, the specific process of impregnation and low-temperature vacuum drying is as follows: Immerse 10 - 15 parts of expanded perlite particles with a particle size of 0.1 - 0.5 mm in the bacterial suspension for 20 - 28 h, filter, and then dry at 38 - 42 °C and 10 - 20 kPa vacuum for 45 - 60 min, control the thickness of the microbial loading layer on the particle surface to be 50 - 80 μm, and the final moisture content of the self-repairing agent ≤ 2.5%, where the viable cell density of Bacillus bacteria in the microbial loading layer is 3.0 - 6.5×108 CFU / g.
[0015] The self - repair agent designed in the present invention is mainly used to enhance the self - repair performance of concrete. The self - repair agent is prepared through processes such as bacterial culture, centrifugal purification, impregnation adsorption, and low - temperature vacuum drying, enabling Bacillus spores to be stably loaded on the surface of expanded perlite particles to ensure their long - term activity inside the concrete and rapidly activating the repair mechanism after cracks form. By optimizing the nutrient solution formula, including beef extract, peptone, glucose, sodium chloride, and a phosphate buffer system, a suitable alkaline environment is provided to promote the proliferation of Bacillus and maintain its metabolic activity, thereby ensuring that the bacteria have good bioremediation capabilities before entering the concrete. During the preparation of the bacterial suspension, the bacteria are purified by centrifugal washing multiple times and resuspended with phosphate buffer to improve the survival rate and stability of the bacteria, while ensuring the activity and concentration of the final bacterial suspension so that it can effectively play a repair function in the concrete. Subsequently, expanded perlite is used as a carrier, and through the impregnation adsorption process, high - concentration bacteria are evenly loaded on the particle surface. Then, the thickness of the microbial load layer is controlled by low - temperature vacuum drying to ensure a sufficient viable bacteria density and reduce the moisture content of the self - repair agent, thereby improving storage stability and durability during service. Inside the concrete, the self - repair agent can activate Bacillus under the stimulation of moisture and nutrients at the crack, causing it to metabolize and produce CaCO3 deposition to fill the crack and achieve the self - repair function. By reasonably designing the particle size range of expanded perlite and the thickness of the bacterial load layer, the self - repair agent has good dispersibility in the concrete matrix and can rapidly release active bacteria after cracks form, improving the repair efficiency. Overall, the self - repair agent designed in the present invention can not only achieve efficient self - repair at concrete cracks but also has a long storage life and stable repair performance, ensuring the long - term durability and structural integrity of concrete in complex service environments.
[0016] Further, the preparation method of the modified basalt short - cut fibers includes the following steps: First, the basalt fibers are subjected to dynamic oxidation treatment with hydrogen peroxide solution, and then etched with hydrochloric acid to obtain a porous surface structure. Subsequently, a nano - silica suspension is prepared, and ultrasonic - assisted impregnation combined with vacuum drying is used to form a nano - silica coating on the surface of the basalt short - cut fibers to obtain the modified basalt short - cut fibers.
[0017] Further, the average length of the modified basalt short - cut fibers is 6.0 - 12.0 mm, and the average diameter is 10.0 - 20 μm.
[0018] Further, the detailed processes of the dynamic oxidation treatment and hydrochloric acid etching are as follows: by weight, first immerse 50-70 parts of chopped basalt fibers in 80-120 parts of 4.5-5.5 wt% hydrogen peroxide solution, perform oscillation treatment at 25-35°C and 200-300 rpm for 1.5-2.5 h to complete surface oxidation, then wash with deionized water until the conductivity ≤ 50 μS / cm and vacuum dry at 55-65°C for 1.5-2.5 h; then immerse the treated fibers in 0.8-1.2 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution, dynamically etch at 40-50°C for 80-100 min, rinse to neutrality and dry with hot air to obtain acid-etched fibers.
[0019] Further, the preparation method of the nano-silica suspension is as follows: by weight, disperse 1.2-1.8 parts of silane coupling agent KH-550 in 180-220 parts of 90-95 wt% ethanol aqueous solution, stir at 500-700 rpm for 25-35 min, then add 5.5-6.5 parts of nano-silica particles and continuously disperse for 40-60 min to obtain the nano-silica suspension.
[0020] Further, the detailed process of the ultrasonic-assisted impregnation combined with vacuum drying is as follows: immerse the acid-etched fibers in the nano-silica suspension, perform ultrasonic impregnation at 40-60 kHz for 25-35 min and vacuum dry at 50-70°C for 120-160 min to form a nano-silica coating with a thickness of 90-120 nm on the surface of the chopped basalt fibers, and obtain modified chopped basalt fibers.
[0021] Further, the preparation method of the nano-silica is as follows: by weight, put 50.0-70.0 parts of sodium silicate and 100.0-150.0 parts of deionized water into a polytetrafluoroethylene reaction kettle, mechanically stir at 200-300 rpm for 10-15 min to form a homogeneous solution, then dropwise add 30.0-50.0 parts of 1.0-2.0 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution, control the dropping rate at 0.5-1.0 mL / min, simultaneously maintain the system pH at 2.0-3.0, after dropping, raise the temperature to 70-80°C and raise the temperature at a rate of 2-3°C / min, age at 80-90°C for 2.0-3.0 h, then add 1.5-2.5 parts of polyethylene glycol-6000 surfactant and perform high-speed shear dispersion at 500-700 rpm for 20-30 min to form a sol, transfer the sol to a vacuum drying oven and dry at a negative pressure of 25-35 kPa and 60-70°C for 4.0-6.0 h, grind the obtained gel with an agate mortar and then place it in a muffle furnace, program the temperature rise at a rate of 5-8°C / min to 550-650°C, and keep the temperature for calcination for 3.0-4.0 h, finally obtain nano-silica with a specific surface area of 200-300 m 2 / g and an average particle size of 50-80 nm.
[0022] The design of the present invention using modified basalt chopped fibers is mainly used to enhance the mechanical properties and interfacial bonding ability of concrete. By precisely controlling the surface structure and chemical composition of the fibers, the compatibility with the cement matrix is improved, thereby optimizing the overall mechanical properties and durability of the concrete. First, the basalt chopped fibers are dynamically oxidized with hydrogen peroxide solution to destroy part of the amorphous phase on the fiber surface, increase the surface roughness, and introduce polar functional groups, thereby improving the hydrophilicity of the fibers and the wettability of the cement paste. Subsequently, the microstructure of the fibers is further regulated by hydrochloric acid etching to remove surface impurities and form a porous structure, enabling the fibers to have a larger specific surface area and increasing the mechanical bite force with the cement matrix. The fibers after oxidation and acid etching not only have increased surface energy but also can enhance the interfacial bonding strength between the fibers and the cement matrix, reduce interfacial defects, and improve the tensile and flexural strengths of the composite material. In order to further enhance the pozzolanic activity of the fibers and the interfacial interaction with the cement hydration products, a nano-silica coating is introduced on the fiber surface. The nano-silica is synthesized by the sol-gel method, and key parameters such as pH, dropping rate, and aging temperature are controlled to ensure its high specific surface area and uniform nano-particle size. Subsequently, a nano-silica suspension is prepared, and through ultrasonic-assisted impregnation combined with vacuum drying process, the nano-silica is uniformly deposited on the surface of the basalt chopped fibers to form a dense and stable coating. This coating can not only improve the pozzolanic activity of the fibers, react with Ca 2 + and OH- in the cement hydration solution in an alkaline environment to generate secondary C-S-H and improve the interfacial bonding strength, but also optimize the charge distribution on the fiber surface and improve the dispersion of the fibers in the cement matrix. At the same time, the presence of the nano-silica coating can promote the deposition of hydration products at the cracks, improve the crack resistance of the concrete, and enhance the crack healing ability. Experiments show that the modified basalt chopped fibers can effectively improve the interfacial bonding performance of the concrete, increase the mechanical strength, and optimize the microstructure of the material, thereby significantly enhancing the durability and crack resistance of the concrete. Through the synergistic effect of oxidation, acid etching, and nano-silica modification technologies, the present invention realizes the enhanced bonding between the fibers and the cement matrix, providing an efficient and feasible reinforcement solution for the preparation of high-performance concrete.
[0023] The present invention also discloses a method for preparing high-strength concrete, comprising the following steps:
[0024] S1. Screen the basalt coarse aggregate and natural sand. The particle size of the basalt coarse aggregate is controlled at 5 - 20 mm, and the particle size of the natural sand is controlled at 0.2 - 2.5 mm. After screening, reserve them. Add P·II 52.5 cement, secondary fly ash and slag fly ash into a mixer according to the ratio, and stir at a low speed of 60 - 100 rpm for 5 - 10 min to make them evenly mixed. Separately take water, add a polycarboxylate superplasticizer and a rosin air-entraining agent in sequence, and stir at 300 - 500 rpm for 4 - 8 min until the solution is clear and there are no obvious bubbles to obtain a hydration solution;
[0025] S2. Add the pretreated basalt coarse aggregate and natural sand into a mixer according to the ratio, stir at a medium speed of 100 - 150 rpm for 1 - 2 min. Under the stirring state, slowly add the hydration solution prepared in step S1, control the liquid addition time at 30 - 60 s, and continue to stir for 3 - 5 min to form a uniform wet-mixed mixture;
[0026] S3. During the wet mixing process, gradually add modified basalt chopped fibers, increase the stirring speed to 150 - 200 rpm, and continuously stir for 20 - 30 min to ensure the uniform dispersion of the fibers. Then slowly add a self-repairing agent and continue to stir for 2 - 4 min to make it evenly distributed. Finally, adjust the stirring speed to 200 - 300 rpm and continuously stir for 4 - 6 min to form a homogeneous concrete mixture, and let it stand for 2 - 5 min to eliminate bubbles;
[0027] S4. Pour the mixed concrete into a mold, vibrate it on a vibrating table at 50 - 100 Hz for 30 - 60 s to complete the molding; the molded specimens are cured in an environment of 20 - 25 °C and relative humidity ≥ 90% for 24 - 36 h. After demolding, continue to cure under standard conditions of 20 - 25 °C and relative humidity ≥ 95% for 10 - 15 days.
[0028] The preparation method of the present invention using high-strength concrete is mainly designed to enhance the mechanical properties and durability of concrete. By reasonably screening basalt coarse aggregate and natural sand, the aggregate gradation is optimized, thereby improving the compactness and compressive performance of concrete. At the same time, the compounding of P·II52.5 cement, secondary fly ash and slag fly ash optimizes the cementitious material system, improves the uniformity of the hydration reaction and the development of later strength. During the preparation process of the hydration liquid, the addition of polycarboxylate superplasticizer effectively reduces the mixing water consumption and improves the fluidity of concrete, while the appropriate introduction of rosin-type air-entraining agent helps to form uniformly distributed tiny air bubbles and improve the freeze-thaw resistance. In the wet mixing stage, by controlling the mixing speed and the liquid addition sequence, the aggregate and the hydration liquid are fully contacted and uniformly wrapped, improving the bonding effect of the paste. On this basis, modified basalt short fibers are gradually introduced, and by increasing the mixing speed, the uniform dispersion of the fibers is ensured, enhancing the crack resistance and toughness of concrete. Subsequently, the self-repair agent is added and uniformly distributed in the concrete matrix, providing guarantee for subsequent crack self-repair. Finally, by precisely controlling the mixing speed and time, the concrete mixture reaches a high degree of homogenization, and the air bubbles are eliminated during the static stage, improving the forming quality. During the vibration forming and standard curing processes, the reasonable vibration compaction frequency ensures the dense internal structure of concrete, optimizes the mechanical properties, and the strictly controlled humidity and temperature conditions further promote the full progress of the hydration reaction, improving the early strength and long-term durability. Generally speaking, through optimizing the aggregate gradation, cementitious material system, admixture ratio, fiber reinforcement and self-repair mechanism, the present invention realizes the high strength, high toughness and self-repair performance of concrete, providing an efficient preparation scheme for durable concrete in complex engineering environments.

The phosphate buffer system maintains the activity of the bacteria, and low-temperature vacuum drying controls the thickness of the loading layer, enhancing the storage stability. The synergistic effect of each component optimizes the repair efficiency, which is superior to traditional repair technologies and shows excellent performance in complex engineering environments.

[0044] A preparation method of high-strength concrete in this embodiment, comprising the following steps:
[0045] S1. Screen the basalt coarse aggregate and natural sand. The particle size of the basalt coarse aggregate is controlled at 5 mm, and the particle size of the natural sand is controlled at 0.2 mm. After screening, reserve them. Add P·II 52.5 cement, secondary fly ash, and slag fly ash into a mixer according to the ratio, and stir at a low speed of 60 rpm for 5 min to make them evenly mixed. Separately take water, add a polycarboxylate-based water reducer and a rosin-based air-entraining agent in sequence, and stir at 300 rpm for 4 min until the solution is clear and there are no obvious bubbles to obtain a hydration solution;
[0046] S2. Add the pretreated basalt coarse aggregate and natural sand into a mixer according to the ratio, stir at a medium speed of 100 rpm for 1 min. Under the stirring state, slowly add the hydration solution prepared in step S1, control the liquid addition time at 30 s, and continue to stir for 3 min to form a uniform wet-mixed mixture;
[0047] S3. During the wet mixing process, gradually add modified basalt chopped fibers, increase the stirring speed to 150 rpm, and continuously stir for 20 min to ensure the uniform dispersion of the fibers. Subsequently, slowly add a self-repairing agent and continue to stir for 2 min to make it evenly distributed. Finally, adjust the stirring speed to 200 rpm and continuously stir for 4 min to form a homogeneous concrete mixture, and let it stand for 2 min to eliminate bubbles;
[0048] S4. Pour the mixed concrete into a mold, compact it with a 50 Hz vibrating table for 30 s to complete the molding; the molded specimens are cured in an environment of 20°C and relative humidity ≥ 90% for 24 h, and after demolding, they are further cured under standard conditions of 20°C and relative humidity ≥ 95% for 10 days.
[0049] It can be seen from Figure 1 that the surface of the unmodified basalt chopped fibers is relatively smooth and lacks an effective rough structure, which is not conducive to the bonding with the cement matrix. Figure 2 shows the surface morphology of the modified basalt chopped fibers, proving that after oxidation treatment, acid etching, and nano-silica modification, a rough and functionally coated structure is formed on the fiber surface, which helps to enhance the interfacial bonding force. Figure 3 shows the original morphology of the high-strength concrete when cracks are formed and the change of the cracks after 10 days, proving that the self-healing system of the present invention can effectively promote the healing of cracks and improve the durability of concrete.

[0080] Comparative Example 1
[0081] It is basically the same as Example 1, except that the modified basalt chopped fibers are not oxidized, resulting in a decrease in the interfacial bonding force between the fibers and the cement matrix, a decline in crack resistance and toughness, and a significant reduction in the flexural strength of the concrete.
[0082] Comparative Example 2
[0083] It is basically the same as Example 1, except that the thallus culture of the self-repairing agent is not washed and purified with a phosphate buffer solution, resulting in lower thallus activity, a significant weakening of the concrete crack self-repairing ability, and a reduction in the repair efficiency.
[0084] Comparative Example 3
[0085] It is basically the same as Example 1, except that the nano-silica coating is not impregnated by ultrasonic assistance, resulting in uneven coating distribution, a reduction in the fiber reinforcement effect, and a decline in the durability and crack resistance of the concrete.
[0086] Comparative Example 4
[0087] Basically the same as Example 1, except that the bacterial suspension impregnated with perlite was not subjected to low-temperature vacuum drying, resulting in a higher water content of the self-repairing agent, a decrease in storage stability, and a weakening of the self-healing ability.
[0088] Comparative Example 5
[0089] Basically the same as Example 1, except that the pH of the nutrient solution was not adjusted to 9.5 - 10.0 but maintained at neutral, resulting in slow growth of Bacillus, a decrease in the final bacterial load density, and a decline in the repair efficiency of the self-repairing agent.

[0094] Comparative Example 8
[0095] Basically the same as Example 1, except that the centrifugation speed of the bacterial suspension was reduced to 4000 rpm, resulting in incomplete purification of the bacteria, a decrease in the repair activity of the final self-repairing agent, and poor repair effect of concrete cracks.
[0096] Comparative Example 9
[0097] Basically the same as Example 1, except that silane coupling agent was not used when preparing the nano-silica suspension, resulting in a decrease in the bonding force between the coating and the fibers, a reduction in the modification effect, and a decline in the durability of concrete. Figure 5 The fracture morphology of the modified basalt chopped fibers prepared in Comparative Example 9 shows that the fiber surface is still smooth and lacks an effective interfacial bonding layer, proving that the bonding between the fibers and the cement matrix is weak, which further verifies the necessity and effectiveness of the modification process adopted in the present invention for improving the performance of fiber-reinforced concrete.

After standard curing in accordance with ASTM C192, the compressive strength test is carried out using a universal testing machine at the ages of 7d, 28d, and 90d. The loading rate is controlled at 0.25MPa / s to 0.35MPa / s, the maximum failure load is recorded, and the compressive strength is calculated to evaluate the mechanical properties of the concrete.
[0102] Flexural Strength Test (in accordance with ASTM C78 / C78M-22): A 100mm×100mm×400mm trapezoidal beam specimen is used. After 28d of curing, its flexural strength is tested by the three-point bending method. The loading rate is controlled at 0.05MPa / s to 0.1MPa / s, and the maximum load at the failure of the specimen is recorded to evaluate the toughness and crack resistance of the fiber-reinforced concrete.
[0103] Self-healing Performance Test: Cracks with a width of 0.2mm to 0.5mm are prefabricated on the 28d-cured concrete specimens, and they are cured for 28 days in an environment with a humidity of 95% and a temperature of 25°C.

[0107]
[0108]
[0109] As can be seen from Table 1, in Example 3, due to the optimization of various parameters, the comprehensive performance is the best, and the compressive strength, flexural strength, self-healing rate, and freeze-thaw resistance all reach the optimal level. In contrast, in Comparative Example 1, since the fibers were not oxidized, the interfacial bonding force decreased, resulting in a decrease in flexural strength, thus affecting the crack resistance performance; in Comparative Example 2, because the phosphate buffer solution was not used for washing during the bacterial culture process, the bacterial activity decreased, and the self-healing rate decreased significantly; in Comparative Example 3, ultrasonic-assisted impregnation was not performed on the nano-silica coating, resulting in uneven coating distribution, affecting the fiber reinforcement effect, and decreasing the flexural strength and durability; in Comparative Example 4, due to the lack of low-temperature vacuum drying treatment, the water content of the self-repair agent was relatively high, affecting the long-term storage stability and resulting in a decrease in the self-healing rate; in Comparative Example 5, since the pH of the nutrient solution was not adjusted to the alkaline range, the bacterial growth was insufficient, affecting the final repair efficiency; in Comparative Example 6, due to the decrease in the hydrogen peroxide oxidation concentration, the surface active functional groups of the fibers decreased, the interfacial bonding force weakened, and the flexural strength decreased; in Comparative Example 7, due to insufficient hydrochloric acid etching time, the surface roughness of the fibers decreased, the mechanical biting force weakened, and the flexural strength decreased; in Comparative Example 8, due to the decrease in the centrifugal rotation speed of the bacterial suspension, the bacterial purification was incomplete, affecting the repair activity of the self-repair agent and resulting in a decrease in the self-healing rate; in Comparative Example 9, since a silane coupling agent was not used when preparing the nano-silica suspension, the bonding force between the coating and the fibers decreased, affecting the flexural strength and durability; in Comparative Example 10, since the particle size of the expanded perlite increased to 0.8 mm, the dispersibility of the self-repair agent in the concrete decreased, and the crack repair was uneven, resulting in a decrease in the self-healing rate. Generally speaking, each parameter has a significant impact on the mechanical properties, durability, and self-healing ability of the concrete.
