Abstract

The present invention discloses a multi-scale toughened concrete and its preparation method, belonging to the field of high permeability technology. The concrete comprises ferroaluminate cement, a low-shrinkage auxiliary cementitious material, a water reducer, multi-scale composite fibers, a shrinkage compensator, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, and water. The present invention breaks through the traditional toughening model. Through magnetron sputtering of metal gradient coatings and laser-induced dendrite structures on coarse fibers, a physical-chemical composite connection interface is established. Under impact loads, a strain hysteresis effect is triggered, converting impact energy into interfacial phase change energy, forming a highly efficient energy dissipation channel. Fine fibers introduce amino functional groups and free radical cross-linking networks, combined with the directional arrangement of carbon nanotubes, to give the fibers microscopic dynamic reinforcement capabilities. This allows the concrete to form a synergistic interaction between macro-crack bridging and micro-crack suppression, significantly improving the crack resistance under complex stresses and effectively inhibiting the propagation of microcracks.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of marine engineering concrete, and in particular to a multi-scale toughened concrete and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Concrete products are brittle and face a high risk of cracking during production and application. External corrosive media can easily penetrate the matrix, causing corrosion damage to the concrete itself and inducing corrosion of steel reinforcement, reducing the durability and service life of concrete products. Concrete structures in marine and saline-alkali environments are often subjected to a combination of complex stresses, such as wave loads, water impact, and ship impacts, which further accelerate crack formation and damage. The high toughness of multi-scale toughened concrete can, to a certain extent, resist the crack propagation caused by these complex stresses, improving the integrity and stability of the structure, extending its service life, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN115650667B utilizes a combination of steel fibers and micron-sized fibers, attempting to achieve synergistic toughening through macrocrack bridging and microcrack suppression. However, steel fibers are primarily bonded to the matrix through physical anchoring, while micron-sized fibers rely on chemical interfacial treatment to enhance bonding. Directly mixing steel fibers and micron-sized fibers with the matrix can weaken the fiber-matrix interface transition zone over long-term use, reducing load transfer efficiency and weakening the multi-scale synergistic effect.

[0004] In addition, although the high dosage of auxiliary cementitious materials (fly ash + silica fume) improves the density, the shrinkage cracks actually increase the porosity. Once the leakage channel is formed, chloride ions, water and other media will quickly penetrate along the channel, causing steel corrosion and freeze-thaw damage. Summary of the Invention

The core-shell structure design of silica fume is achieved through nano The layer blocks the agglomeration of particles, promotes the full hydration reaction, and participates in the formation of dense hydrated calcium silicate gel to fill the pores, solving the problem of increased porosity of traditional auxiliary cementitious materials due to self-shrinkage; after the crystal transformation of metakaolin, a reactive gradient zone is formed in the ultrasonic-assisted gradient mixing, so that the expansion stress is evenly distributed inside the concrete, avoiding structural damage caused by uneven expansion, while improving the concrete's impermeability and reducing the risk of chloride ion penetration.

The activated clay enhances its adsorption and release capabilities through interlayer structural modification. Combined with the moisture-proof coating design of the HCSA expander, it ensures stable and uniform expansion compensation. The magnesium oxide coating of the hollow glass microspheres not only acts as a micro-expansion source to compensate for shrinkage, but also refines the pore structure to hinder chloride ion penetration.

[0253]

[0254] The present invention achieves an improvement in the multi-scale toughening effect by modifying coarse fibers and fine fibers separately; among them, the modification of coarse fibers focuses on the improvement of surface activity and the strengthening of interface coupling. After cleaning and impurity removal, the metal gradient coating formed by magnetron sputtering can provide a chemical anchoring effect, and the dendritic structure induced by laser micromelting further enhances the mechanical meshing effect, forming a multi-level physical-chemical composite connection. When subjected to external impact, the interface between the metal coating and the substrate will produce a strain hysteresis effect. This hysteresis response of the microstructure can convert the impact energy into interfacial phase change energy, forming an effective energy dissipation channel. The modification of fine fibers focuses on the introduction of surface active groups and nanoscale enhancement. Plasma bombardment realizes the simultaneous introduction of amino functional groups by micro-nanostructure etching, ultraviolet-induced surface polymerization constructs a free radical cross-linking network, and the directional arrangement and chemical bonding of carbon nanotubes give the fine fibers multi-scale enhancement and signal transmission capabilities. When microcracks in concrete expand, the disentanglement and rearrangement of polymer chain segments can provide additional fracture energy, breaking through the stress transfer limit of traditional fiber reinforcement and expanding the reinforcement mechanism from a simple bridging effect to a dynamic interaction that includes energy dissipation.

[0255] The present invention achieves a controllable expansion effect on concrete by modifying the components of the auxiliary gel material; wherein the surface of the silica fume is coated with nano The core-shell structure formed after the layer can effectively block the agglomeration of silica fume particles. This structure provides more active surfaces for cement hydration, making the hydration reaction more complete. The metakaolin is microwave calcined under nitrogen protection to make it From amorphous to With the help of composite dispersant, The gradient mixing of metakaolin and SSF core-shell structure enables the auxiliary cementitious material to form a reaction activity and expansion controllable performance that gradually changes from the inside to the outside of the concrete, so that the expansion stress inside the concrete is evenly dispersed and effectively constrained, thereby achieving a good expansion controllable effect.

[0256] The present invention reduces autogenous shrinkage and chloride ion penetration depth by adding a shrinkage compensator to concrete. Nanoclay is mixed with an oxalic acid solution and then ultrasonically treated. Oxalic acid molecules insert into the interlayers of montmorillonite, disrupting its original crystal structure, widening the interlayer spacing, weakening interlayer bonding, and increasing the activity and reactivity of the montmorillonite. The activated clay obtained after centrifugation has more flexible interlayer channels, providing favorable conditions for the subsequent adsorption and release of water molecules. HCSA high-performance concrete expansive agent particles are impregnated with a potassium dihydrogen phosphate-ethanol suspension and then dried. The potassium dihydrogen phosphate forms a moisture-proof layer on the HCSA surface. This moisture-proof layer effectively prevents the HCSA from absorbing moisture from the air during storage and transportation, leading to deliquescence and agglomeration, thereby ensuring the activity and reaction uniformity of the expansive agent. The magnesium oxide coating within the hollow glass microspheres acts as a micro-expansion source within the concrete, generating a micro-expansion effect that partially compensates for concrete shrinkage. Furthermore, the magnesium oxide coating has a barrier effect, obstructing the chloride ion penetration path and reducing the chloride ion penetration depth.

[0257] The shrinkage compensator of the present invention compensates for concrete shrinkage through an expansion effect. The coarse fibers bear the main stress when the concrete is subjected to stress, preventing the formation and expansion of macro cracks, while the fine fibers bridge cracks at the micro level and dissipate energy. The three work synergistically to significantly improve the toughness of concrete.

[0258] The shrinkage compensator of the present invention produces micro-expansion inside the concrete through the expansion effect, thereby compensating for the concrete's autogenous shrinkage. The hydration products of silica fume and metakaolin can fill the pores of the concrete, increase the rigidity and strength of the concrete, exert a certain restraining effect on the expansion, make the expansion more uniform and stable, and thus further improve the expansion restriction effect. The core-shell structure of auxiliary cementitious materials such as silica fume and the crystal transformation of metakaolin can optimize the pore structure of the concrete, reduce the porosity, increase the density, and provide a more stable matrix for expansion compensation. At the same time, the low shrinkage characteristics of the auxiliary cementitious materials can reduce the internal stress of the concrete, making the expansion of the shrinkage compensator more efficient and further reducing the autogenous shrinkage rate. Components such as the magnesium oxide coating in the shrinkage compensator can refine the pore structure of the concrete, reduce the number of large pores and interconnected pores, and the addition of the auxiliary cementitious materials further improves the pore distribution of the concrete, making the pores finer and more uniform, reducing the connectivity of the pores, thereby effectively blocking the penetration path of harmful substances such as chloride ions and reducing leakage.
