Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of concrete repair material preparation, and particularly relates to a high frost resistance and high permeability concrete crack repair material and a preparation process thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The information disclosed in this Background section is for the purpose of increasing the understanding of the background of the present application and does not necessarily constitute an admission that this information forms a prior art with respect to the present application.

[0003] As one of the most widely used building materials in modern construction engineering, concrete plays a key role in various infrastructure constructions, such as bridges, roads, dams, etc., due to its low cost, high strength, and strong plasticity. However, during the long-term use of concrete structures, micro-cracks inevitably occur due to environmental factors, load effects, and material properties. In cold regions, the problem of micro-cracks is more prominent due to freeze-thaw cycles. When micro-cracks exist in concrete, water can penetrate through these cracks, and the volume expansion caused by ice formation at low temperatures will generate a large frost heaving stress, leading to the continuous expansion and connection of micro-cracks, which in turn weakens the strength and durability of the concrete structure, reduces the service life, increases the maintenance cost of the project, and even may cause safety hazards.

[0004] Currently, there are many methods for repairing concrete micro-cracks, such as surface treatment, filling, and grouting. Surface treatment usually involves applying waterproof paint or repair materials to the surface of the concrete. This method can only seal the surface micro-cracks to some extent, and it is difficult to reach the deeper internal micro-cracks. Moreover, the bonding strength between the repair material and the concrete matrix is limited, and the repair effect cannot be maintained in harsh environments such as freeze-thaw cycles. The filling method generally fills repair materials into the micro-cracks, but the cleaning and filling process of the micro-cracks requires high precision. If not handled properly, new interface defects may be formed between the filling material and the concrete, affecting the repair effect. Although the grouting method can repair deeper micro-cracks, there are many problems with the grouting material, such as its groutability, compatibility with concrete, and solidification performance in low-temperature environments, which greatly limits its application in cold regions. In addition, most existing repair materials have insufficient frost resistance, and under the action of freeze-thaw cycles, the repair materials themselves are prone to cracking and peeling, which cannot effectively prevent the further development of micro-cracks. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the above, the present application provides a high frost resistance and high permeability concrete crack repair material and a preparation process thereof, which can be well applied to the repair of concrete structure cracks in low-temperature environments. Specifically, the technical solution of the present application is as follows.

[0006] Firstly, the present application provides a high frost resistance and high permeability concrete crack repair material, comprising components in the following proportions: acrylic acid 10-50 parts by weight, methyl methacrylate 12-50 parts by weight, crosslinking agent 0.2-3.0 parts by weight, oxidizing agent 0.05-2 parts by weight, reducing agent 0.01-1 parts by weight, and watermelon leaf powder-saturated lime water suspension 2-10 parts by weight.

[0007] Further, the watermelon leaf powder-saturated lime water suspension is prepared by immersing watermelon leaf powder in saturated lime water, and is obtained after completion.

[0008] Further, the mass ratio of the watermelon leaf powder to saturated lime water is 1-5:2-5. Optionally, the fineness of the watermelon leaf powder is 100-200 mesh.

[0009] Further, the immersion time is 2-3 hours. Preferably, the immersion is carried out under heating conditions of 50-65℃.

[0010] Further, the crosslinking agent comprises at least one of N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, etc.

[0011] Further, the oxidizing agent comprises at least one of persulfate, dibenzoyl peroxide, etc.

[0012] Further, the reducing agent comprises at least one of sodium bisulfite, sodium thiosulfate, N,N-dimethylaniline, etc.

[0013] Secondly, the present application provides a preparation method of the high frost resistance and high permeability concrete crack repair material, comprising the following steps:

[0014] (1) uniformly mixing the acrylic acid, methyl methacrylate, and oxidizing agent to obtain A agent.

[0015] (2) uniformly mixing the watermelon leaf powder-saturated lime water suspension, crosslinking agent, and reducing agent to obtain B agent.

[0016] (3) mixing the A agent and B agent uniformly before use to obtain the crack repair material.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The repair material of the present application can form a polymer three-dimensional network structure by cross-linking polymerization of the acrylic acid and methyl methacrylate, so that the repair material has good overall strength, flexibility, thermal stability and chemical corrosion resistance, thereby ensuring good chemical durability. At the same time, the repair material of the present application also adds watermelon leaf powder modified by saturated lime water. On the one hand, the cellulose and hemicellulose in the watermelon leaf powder expose more hydroxyl groups after the deacetylation reaction under the action of saturated lime water, and at the same time, the lignin structure in the watermelon leaf powder releases polar groups such as phenolic hydroxyl groups, which can form hydrogen bonds with carboxyl groups in the polymer three-dimensional network structure, not only improving the low-temperature toughness of the repair material to facilitate good repair performance at low temperature. Moreover, the formation of the above hydrogen bonds is also conducive to the formation of a more firm interface between the watermelon leaf powder and the polymer three-dimensional network structure. On the other hand, the watermelon leaf powder treated by saturated lime water is beneficial to the dissolution of polysaccharide molecules, thereby reducing the freezing point of the solution, and its porous structure can physically block the expansion of ice crystals, reducing the amount of ice crystals generated, so that the repair material of the present application still has good workability in a low-temperature environment. On the other hand, the watermelon leaf powder treated by saturated lime water introduces a large amount of Ca²⁺, which can form a combination with the carboxyl groups in the polymer three-dimensional network structure, enhance the stability of the network structure, and reduce the freezing point, improve the frost resistance and durability of the repair material.

[0033] (5) Mix the A agent and B agent uniformly to obtain the crack repair material, as shown in Figure 1 .

[0034] Performance test:

Then the test piece is immersed in simulated seawater, NaCl solution (concentration 6 wt.%), hydrochloric acid (pH = 2), and sodium hydroxide solution (pH = 10), respectively. After 30 days, the test piece is taken out, dried in a 45°C vacuum drying oven, and weighed. The results are shown in the following table, which shows that the crack repair material prepared in the example has excellent anti-chemical erosion performance.

[0036]

[0037] 2. Anti-freezing performance test: the crack repair material prepared in the example is filled into the artificial cracks (width 2 mm, length 20 mm, depth 10 mm) of the concrete test piece.
