Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of building construction, and in particular to a method for repairing concrete cracks. Background Art
[0002] Over the long term, concrete structures inevitably develop cracks due to loads, temperature fluctuations, shrinkage and creep, and other factors. These cracks can affect the durability and safety of the structure, necessitating prompt repair. Existing concrete crack repair methods suffer from several technical issues that hinder repair effectiveness and quality.
[0003] During the crack pretreatment stage, conventional methods primarily rely on manual cleaning combined with simple measuring tools. This method struggles to completely remove dust and loose particles from the crack, and residual impurities can affect the adhesion of subsequent repair materials. Traditional methods for measuring crack morphology rely on contact-based measuring tools such as probes or calipers. This is not only inefficient but also difficult to accurately capture the three-dimensional geometry of the crack, especially for irregular cracks or hidden locations. Measurement errors are further exacerbated by high humidity or the presence of open water.
[0004] The crack expansion process is a critical step in crack repair. Traditionally, crack expansion operations rely primarily on operator experience and are performed using handheld cutting tools. This method has several significant drawbacks: First, the cutting path and dimensional control are imprecise, easily leading to overcutting or undercutting; second, different strength grades of concrete require different cutting parameters, but traditional methods lack targeted parameter adjustments; third, the lack of real-time monitoring during crack expansion prevents deviations from being detected and corrected promptly. These issues lead to unstable crack expansion quality, impacting subsequent repair effectiveness.
[0005] Conventional methods for interface treatment often use a single type of interface agent, with a relatively simple construction process. This approach has the following drawbacks: insufficient penetration of the interface agent, resulting in limited bond strength with the concrete matrix; unstable adhesion on damp surfaces; and the interface agent's tendency to generate shrinkage stress during drying, leading to microcracks. These issues can reduce the integrity and durability of the repair system.
[0006] During the filling phase, traditional methods face the following major challenges: imprecise material ratio control, resulting in uneven fiber distribution; a lack of scientific basis for selecting vibration parameters, making it difficult to achieve optimal densification; and a lack of effective quality control during the filling process, making it difficult to detect and address defects such as bubbles in a timely manner. These issues can lead to internal defects in the restoration, compromising its ultimate performance.
[0007] The curing process is crucial for ensuring restoration quality. Key issues with traditional curing methods include: applying the same curing regime to different restoration materials, failing to meet the performance development needs of each; extensive curing parameter control, resulting in significant temperature and humidity fluctuations; and a lack of effective quality monitoring, hindering the timely detection and resolution of curing issues. In particular, traditional methods for treating surface blanching often rely on simple humidification or ventilation, lacking specificity and resulting in inconsistent results.
[0008] These technical challenges arise primarily due to limitations in traditional methods, including measurement accuracy, process control, material compatibility, and process monitoring. Attempts to address these challenges present several key challenges: precisely measuring crack morphology; ensuring accurate control of crack expansion dimensions; improving the reliability of interface treatment; ensuring the uniformity and density of repair materials; and precisely controlling the curing process. These challenges have hindered the development and application of concrete crack repair technology. Summary of the Invention

[0040] Other advantages, objectives and features of the present invention will be reflected in part from the following description and will be understood by those skilled in the art through study and practice of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0041] The present invention is described in further detail below so that those skilled in the art can implement the invention with reference to the description.
[0042] The present invention provides a method for repairing concrete cracks, comprising the following steps: S1. Crack Pretreatment: Dust and loose particles within the cracks are removed using high-pressure air blowing and ultrasonic cleaning. A 3D laser scanner is then used to scan the cracks with an accuracy of 0.1mm to obtain 3D crack topography data, including crack direction, depth, and width. S2. Precise crack expansion: Based on the three-dimensional crack topography data, a V-shaped or U-shaped groove is cut along the crack. The groove depth is 1.2-1.5 times the crack depth, and the groove width is 2-3 times the crack width. The crack expansion error is controlled within ±0.5mm. S3. Interface Strengthening Treatment: Apply a nano-silica sol interface agent to the expanded groove and dry it at 60-80°C for 10-15 minutes to enhance penetration. S4. Repair Material Filling: Press polymer-modified cement mortar containing polypropylene fibers or activated silicon caulking material into the groove. After filling, use low-frequency vibration to remove air bubbles. S5. Surface treatment: After the repair material has initially set, scrape the surface and use a curing agent or wet curing method to cure for 3 to 7 days.
[0043] The concrete crack repair method provided by the present invention, through a systematic step-by-step design, solves technical challenges such as insufficient precision, poor adhesion, and shrinkage cracking in traditional repair processes. The following describes the technical solution and its advantages in detail, combined with specific implementations.
[0044] Step S1: Crack pretreatment Traditional methods typically involve manual cleaning of cracks, but this makes it difficult to completely remove dust and loose particles, resulting in poor adhesion of subsequent repair materials. This method first uses high-pressure air (0.5-0.8 MPa) to remove surface dust. Ultrasonic cleaning (28-40 kHz) combined with a specialized cleaning agent deeply cleans the interior of the crack, ensuring no residual impurities. Subsequently, a 3D laser scanner is used to obtain 3D topographic data of the crack, including its direction, depth, and width, with an accuracy of 0.1 mm, providing a precise basis for subsequent crack expansion. Compared to traditional manual measurement, laser scanning significantly improves data accuracy and efficiency.
[0045] Step S2: Precise seam expansion Traditional seam expansion processes rely on manual operation, which is prone to dimensional deviations and affects the repair effect. The present invention automatically plans the cutting path based on three-dimensional topography data and dynamically adjusts the cutting speed according to the concrete strength grade: C30-C40 concrete uses 0.8-1.2m / min, C40-C50 concrete uses 0.6-1.0m / min, and C50-C60 concrete uses 0.4-0.8m / min. At the same time, laser displacement sensors and machine vision systems monitor the cutting depth and groove width in real time to ensure that the seam expansion error is controlled within ±0.5mm. Compared with traditional processes, the present invention achieves high-precision control of the seam expansion size.
[0046] Step S3: Interface strengthening treatment Traditional interface agents are prone to insufficient penetration in humid or high-temperature environments, leading to a decrease in bonding strength. The present invention adopts a gradient treatment process: first, activate the base surface through plasma to increase the surface energy to more than 60 mN / m; then apply alkaline nano-silica sol, silane-modified active silicon, and acrylic emulsion containing nano-SiO2 in sequence to form a multi-layer reinforced interface. The drying process uses segmented gradient control (40-90°C) to avoid rapid shrinkage. Compared with traditional single-layer interface agents, the present invention significantly improves the interface bonding strength and durability.
[0047] Step S4: Filling of repair material Traditional repair materials are prone to air bubbles due to uneven fiber distribution or insufficient vibration. The present invention uses polymer-modified cement mortar or active silicon mixed with polypropylene fibers (0.8-1.2 kg / m³), which are removed by a variable-frequency vibration device (30-50 Hz) in stages, and the vibration time is adjusted according to the filling depth. An ultrasonic flaw detector is used to detect the compactness in real time, ensuring a compactness of ≥98%. Compared with traditional processes, the present invention effectively avoids material shrinkage and air bubble defects.
[0048] Step S5: Surface treatment Traditional curing methods are single and cannot adapt to the differentiated needs of different materials. The present invention automatically matches the curing scheme according to the material type: polymer mortar is cured with a moisture-retaining film, maintaining a humidity of 90±5% and a temperature gradient of up to 35°C; active silicon is controlled at a constant temperature of 25±1°C with a CO2 concentration of less than 800 ppm. Wireless sensors monitor the internal state in real time, dynamically optimizing the curing parameters. Compared with traditional curing, the present invention significantly improves the uniformity and strength development of the repair surface.
[0049] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) Precision improvement: Traditional methods rely on manual measurement and operation, with large errors; the present invention improves the expansion joint precision to ±0.5 mm through laser scanning and intelligent control.
[0050] (2) Bonding reinforcement: Traditional single-layer interface agents are prone to failure in complex environments; the gradient treatment process of the present invention significantly improves the interface bonding strength and impermeability.
[0051] (3) Material optimization: Traditional repair materials are prone to shrinkage and cracking; the present invention ensures material compactness and durability through fiber reinforcement and vibration optimization.
[0052] (4) Intelligent curing: Traditional curing lacks specificity; the present invention realizes controllability of repair quality through differentiated curing and real-time monitoring.
[0053] In summary, the present invention systematically solves the key problems in concrete crack repair, with significant practicality and advancement.
[0054] In a preferred embodiment, in the concrete crack repair method, the scanning process of the three-dimensional laser scanner in S1 further includes the following steps: S11. Environmental Pretreatment: If the humidity of the crack is greater than 70% or if there is visible water on the surface, use hot air drying equipment to dry the crack area and control the surface moisture content to ≤8%. S12. Scan-assisted enhancement: For cracks deeper than 50 mm or those obscured by rebar, a transparent coupling agent with a refractive index similar to that of concrete is injected into the crack. The coupling agent is a nano-silica gel with a moisture content of 35-45%. S13. Multi-angle Compensation Scanning: Using a laser probe with adjustable incident angles, scanning at 30°, 60°, and 90° is performed, and a data fusion algorithm is used to synthesize complete 3D topography data. S14. Data Validation: A grayscale threshold discrimination system is set up to automatically remove abnormal scan data points caused by impurity interference. The valid data acquisition rate is ≥95%.
[0055] The present invention addresses the challenges of environmental interference and deep crack scanning during concrete crack scanning by proposing an innovative 3D laser scanning solution. The following details the technical solution and its advantages.
[0056] Step S11: Environmental preprocessing Traditional laser scanning technology can severely distort scan data in humid environments (humidity >70%) or when exposed to water. This solution pre-treats cracked areas with hot air drying equipment, strictly controlling the surface moisture content to below 8%. A temperature control system ensures that the drying temperature does not exceed 60°C, preventing the expansion of microcracks on the concrete surface. Compared to traditional methods that directly scan wet cracks, this solution significantly improves the reliability of scanned data.
[0057] Step S12: Scanning Assistance Enhancement Traditional scanning methods struggle to capture complete data from deep cracks exceeding 50mm or areas obscured by rebar. This method uses nano-silica gel as a transparent coupling agent, with a moisture content controlled at 35-45% and a refractive index highly compatible with concrete. Injecting the coupling agent allows the laser beam to penetrate deep into the crack, eliminating the "blind spot" scanning problem of traditional methods in hidden areas. After scanning, the coupling agent can be recovered using negative pressure, making it both environmentally friendly and economical.
[0058] Step S13: Multi-angle compensation scanning Traditional single-angle scanning easily misses information about the crack sidewalls. This method uses an adjustable-angle laser probe to scan at three standard incident angles: 30°, 60°, and 90°. A patented data fusion algorithm intelligently synthesizes the multi-angle scan data to fully restore the three-dimensional crack morphology. Experiments have shown that this method improves the scanning integrity of V-groove sidewalls by over 40%.
[0059] Step S14: Data validity verification Traditional scanning data often generates noise due to interference such as dust reflection. This invention has developed an intelligent discrimination system based on grayscale thresholds that automatically identifies and removes abnormal data points. This system uses a dynamic threshold algorithm to achieve a stable effective data acquisition rate of over 95%, far exceeding the average of 80% for traditional methods.
[0060] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) Environmental adaptability: Traditional scanners fail directly in humid environments; the present invention enables scanning to be performed under various environmental conditions through preprocessing.
[0061] (2) Depth detection: Traditional methods are helpless against cracks larger than 50 mm; the coupling agent technology of the present invention enables accurate detection of deep cracks.
[0062] (3) Data integrity: Traditional single-angle scanning lacks sidewall data; multi-angle compensation ensures complete restoration of the three-dimensional morphology.
[0063] (4) Data quality: Traditional scanning data contains a lot of noise; the intelligent verification system ensures that the data is authentic and reliable.
[0064] This method addresses key technical bottlenecks in concrete crack scanning, providing an accurate data foundation for subsequent repair processes. Compared to traditional methods, it improves scanning efficiency by over 50% and data accuracy by 35%, representing a significant technological advancement.
[0065] In a preferred embodiment, in the concrete crack repair method, the data fusion algorithm in S13 includes the following processing steps: S131. Point cloud data registration: The ICP iterative closest point algorithm is used to spatially register point cloud data acquired at different incident angles, with a registration error within ±0.05 mm. S132. Feature Extraction: Utilize the RANSAC random sampling consensus algorithm to extract crack edge feature lines and construct a 3D B-spline curve model of the crack orientation. S133. Data Compensation: A neural network-based method for predicting missing data is used for occluded areas. The neural network uses crack geometry as input and outputs a predicted point cloud after calculations in three hidden layers. S134. Surface Reconstruction: Apply the Poisson reconstruction algorithm to generate a 3D surface model of the crack from the fused point cloud data, with a surface fit of ≥98%; S135. Accuracy Verification: Accuracy is verified by calculating the Hausdorff distance between the scanned data and the physical standard. The maximum deviation is ≤ 0.12mm.
[0066] This paper addresses the technical challenges of fusing 3D scanning data of concrete cracks by proposing an innovative data processing algorithm that significantly improves the accuracy and completeness of crack morphology reconstruction. The following details the technical solutions and advantages of this paper.
[0067] Step S131: Point cloud data registration Traditional methods use a simple overlay method to fuse multi-angle scan data, resulting in large registration errors. This invention uses an improved ICP iterative closest point algorithm to precisely align scan data at 30°, 60°, and 90° angles through feature point matching and spatial transformation. The algorithm uses a dynamic convergence threshold to ensure that the final registration error is within ±0.05mm, achieving a 60% improvement in accuracy compared to traditional methods.
[0068] Step S132: Feature extraction Traditional edge detection algorithms are susceptible to noise interference in complex crack scenarios. This invention innovatively applies the RANSAC random sampling consensus algorithm, which intelligently identifies true crack edge feature points through multiple iterative sampling. The three-dimensional B-spline curve model constructed based on these feature points accurately reflects the spatial orientation of the cracks and is particularly suitable for processing complex morphologies such as branching cracks.
[0069] Step S133: Data compensation For scanning blind spots caused by things like rebar obstruction, traditional methods rely on simple interpolation. This paper develops a neural network prediction model that uses the geometric features of the scanned area as input. Through nonlinear calculations using three hidden layers (with 128, 64, and 32 nodes, respectively), it outputs predicted point cloud data. Field measurements show that the predicted results match the actual scan data with a degree of consistency exceeding 92%.
[0070] Step S134: Surface reconstruction Traditional triangular mesh reconstruction produces a large number of distorted facets. This method uses an improved Poisson reconstruction algorithm to solve implicit surface equations to generate a smooth and continuous 3D crack model. The algorithm also uses an adaptive octree depth to ensure a surface fit of ≥98%, perfectly reproducing the microscopic morphology of the crack.
[0071] Step S135: Accuracy verification The traditional verification method relies on manual sampling, which is inefficient. The present application introduces Hausdorff distance calculation, which quantitatively evaluates the reconstruction accuracy by automatically comparing the spatial deviation of the scanned data and the physical standard sample. The system sets a deviation threshold of 0.12mm, and automatically triggers data resampling when the deviation exceeds the threshold, ensuring that the maximum deviation of the final model is controlled within the permitted range.
[0072] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects: (1) Registration accuracy: the traditional superposition method has an error of about ±0.15mm; the present application reduces the error to ±0.05mm.
[0073] (2) Feature recognition: the traditional edge detection has a high misjudgment rate; the RANSAC algorithm improves the feature extraction accuracy by 40%.
[0074] (3) Data compensation: the traditional interpolation method has serious distortion; the neural network prediction makes the reliability of blind area data reach 92%.
[0075] (4) Surface quality: the traditional triangular mesh has distortion; the Poisson reconstruction achieves a fitting degree of more than 98%.
[0076] (5) Verification efficiency: the traditional manual sampling is time-consuming and labor-intensive; the automatic Hausdorff distance calculation improves the verification efficiency by 10 times.
[0077] This scheme overcomes the key technical bottleneck in three-dimensional reconstruction of concrete cracks, and provides a millimeter-level precision digital model for subsequent repair construction. Compared with the traditional method, the overall data processing time is shortened by 35%, and the reconstruction accuracy is improved by 50%, which has significant technical progress and engineering application value.
[0078] In a preferred embodiment, the concrete crack repair method, the S2 precise crack expansion process uses an intelligent control system to achieve error control, specifically including: S21. Dynamic path planning: automatically generate the optimal cutting path based on three-dimensional topographic data, and adjust the feed speed according to the concrete strength grade (C30-C60), wherein the cutting speed of C30-C40 concrete is 0.8-1.2m / min, the cutting speed of C40-C50 concrete is 0.6-1.0m / min, and the cutting speed of C50-C60 concrete is 0.4-0.8m / min; S22. Real-time monitoring: use a laser displacement sensor to monitor the cutting depth in real time, the sampling frequency is ≥1000Hz, set a PID controller to dynamically adjust the cutting pressure, the pressure adjustment accuracy is ±0.05MPa, use a machine vision system to detect the slot width, and the detection resolution is 0.01mm; S23. Quality feedback: Perform an online 3D scan verification every 200mm of cutting length, set up an automatic compensation mechanism, and perform compensation cutting according to the automatic compensation mechanism.
[0079] The present invention addresses the difficulty in precision control in the concrete crack expansion process by developing an intelligent control system that achieves high-precision, adaptive crack expansion. The technical solution and advantages of the present invention are described in detail below.
[0080] Step S21: Dynamic path planning Traditional crack expansion processes use fixed cutting paths and speeds, making them unable to adapt to changes in crack morphology and concrete strength. This method, based on 3D scanning data, automatically generates an optimal cutting trajectory through a path optimization algorithm and adjusts the feed speed in real time based on concrete strength: a faster speed of 0.8-1.2 m / min is used for medium-strength concrete (C30-C40), reduced to 0.6-1.0 m / min for C40-C50 strength concrete, and further reduced to 0.4-0.8 m / min for C50-C60 high-strength concrete. This adaptive speed regulation strategy maximizes cutting efficiency while ensuring quality, improving efficiency by over 30% compared to traditional fixed-speed methods.
[0081] Step S22: Real-time monitoring Traditional monitoring methods suffer from low sampling frequencies and delayed response times. This invention utilizes a multi-sensor collaborative monitoring system: a 1000Hz high-frequency laser displacement sensor tracks cutting depth in real time, a PID controller dynamically adjusts cutting pressure with an accuracy of ±0.05MPa, and a machine vision system with a 0.01mm resolution monitors groove width. When deviations are detected, the system adjusts within 50ms, a response speed 20 times faster than traditional methods.
[0082] Step S23: Quality Feedback Traditional processes rely on post-process inspections, making it difficult to correct defects in a timely manner. This new technology performs online 3D scanning and verification every 200mm of cutting, enabling instant corrections through an automatic compensation mechanism. If an out-of-tolerance is detected, the system automatically reduces the cutting speed to 60% for precision cutting, ensuring a final tolerance of ≤0.1mm. This closed-loop quality control system has increased product qualification rates from the traditional 85% to over 99%.
[0083] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) Adaptability: Traditional fixed parameter cutting often leads to overcutting or undercutting; the dynamic programming of the present invention enables the process parameters to be perfectly matched with the working conditions.
[0084] (2) Real-time: Traditional monitoring has slow response; this system can achieve millisecond-level dynamic adjustment.
[0085] (3) Accuracy: The traditional method has an error of about ±1 mm; the present invention controls the error within ±0.5 mm.
[0086] (4) Intelligence: Traditionally, it relies on manual intervention; this solution realizes fully automatic closed-loop control.
[0087] This invention solves the challenge of precision control in concrete crack expansion operations. Compared to traditional processes, it not only improves processing accuracy by 50% but also increases overall efficiency by 40%. It boasts significant technological advancement and engineering application value, making it particularly suitable for repair projects requiring high precision, such as crack treatment in critical concrete structures like nuclear power facilities and dams.
[0088] In a preferred embodiment, in the concrete crack repair method, the automatic compensation mechanism in S23 includes the following steps: S231. Deviation Detection: Obtain the actual size data of the current cutting segment through online 3D scanning, compare and analyze it with the target size, and calculate the depth deviation Δd and width deviation Δw; S232. Compensation Decision: A compensation decision model based on fuzzy logic was established. The input parameters included the deviation magnitudes Δd and Δw, the concrete strength grade, and the cutting speed. The output was the number of compensation cuts, n, and the compensation amount (δd, δw). For a value of 0.3 mm < Δd ≤ 0.5 mm, n = 1, and δd = Δd + 0.1 mm. For a value of Δd > 0.5 mm, n = 2, with the initial δd = 0.6 mm and the secondary δd = Δd - 0.4 mm. S233. Compensation execution: Control the cutting equipment to perform compensation cutting at 60% of the original path speed, monitor the compensation effect in real time, stop compensation when the remaining deviation is ≤0.1mm, and record the compensation data; S234. Abnormal handling: When the deviation is still greater than 0.3mm after three consecutive compensations, an automatic alarm will be issued and the system will switch to manual intervention mode.
[0089] The present invention addresses the technical challenge of correcting dimensional deviations during concrete crack expansion by proposing an intelligent automatic compensation mechanism that achieves high-precision adaptive compensation control. The following details the technical solution and its advantages.
[0090] Step S231: Deviation detection Traditional methods rely on manual spot checks or single-sensor testing, which can be lag-prone and incomplete. The present invention utilizes an integrated online 3D scanning system to acquire complete 3D topography data of the cut segment in real time, performing a full parameter comparison against the preset target dimensions to accurately calculate the depth deviation Δd and width deviation Δw. The system boasts a resolution of 0.05mm, capable of identifying even the smallest dimensional variations, and achieves 10 times higher detection efficiency than traditional methods.
[0091] Step S232: Compensation decision Traditional compensation decisions rely on operator experience and lack scientific validity. This invention utilizes a fuzzy logic decision model, comprehensively considering multiple parameters such as deviation magnitude, concrete strength, and cutting speed, to intelligently output the optimal compensation solution. For moderate deviations of 0.3-0.5mm, a single compensation strategy is used; for larger deviations exceeding 0.5mm, a graded compensation strategy is adopted. This intelligent decision-making approach improves compensation accuracy by 40% compared to manual decision-making.
[0092] Step S233: Compensation execution Traditional compensation operations operate at a fixed speed, making over- or under-compensation a common problem. This new system sets the compensation cutting speed to 60% of the normal speed, reducing speed and improving accuracy to ensure effective compensation. During execution, the system monitors the compensation amount in real time and automatically stops when the deviation is ≤0.1mm, preventing over-cutting. All compensation data is automatically recorded and used to optimize subsequent processes, forming a closed-loop system for continuous improvement.
[0093] Step S234: Exception handling Traditional methods are slow to respond to abnormal situations. This invention incorporates a three-level warning mechanism: automatic compensation for the first deviation; repeated compensation after two consecutive deviations, with parameter adjustments; and an immediate alarm and manual mode switch after three consecutive deviations. This tiered approach ensures both automated efficiency and final quality, increasing exception handling efficiency by 80%.
[0094] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) Comprehensive detection: Traditional methods detect a single parameter; the present invention realizes three-dimensional full-parameter detection.
[0095] (2) Scientific decision-making: Traditionally, decisions rely on experience and judgment; the fuzzy logic model of this invention makes decisions more accurate.
[0096] (3) Execution accuracy: Traditional fixed compensation is prone to errors; the dynamic compensation of the present invention ensures just the right amount.
[0097] (4) Abnormal response: Traditional passive processing; the present invention realizes active preventive control.
[0098] This automated compensation mechanism solves the dimensional control challenges associated with crack expansion in concrete through an intelligent detection-decision-execution closed loop. Compared to traditional methods, it improves compensation efficiency by 50%, enhances dimensional accuracy by 60%, and reduces exception handling time by 70%, demonstrating significant technological advancement and engineering application value. This system is particularly suitable for applications with stringent requirements for concrete structure dimensions, such as aerospace facilities and precision laboratories.
[0099] In a preferred embodiment, in the concrete crack repair method, the S3 interface strengthening treatment adopts a gradient treatment process, which specifically includes the following steps: S31. Surface activation: Plasma treatment is used to activate the inner surface of the groove after expansion. The treatment power is 300-500W and the treatment time is 30-60 seconds. The surface energy after activation is ≥60mN / m and the contact angle is ≤15°. S32. Gradient Interface Agent Application: a) Base Layer Treatment: Apply an alkaline nano-silica sol with a pH of 9-10, a solids content of 20-25%, and a coating weight of 150-200g / m². b) Intermediate Layer Transition: Apply a silane-modified active silicon transition layer with a viscosity of 800-1200 cP and a coating weight of 100-150g / m². c) Surface Layer Reinforcement: Spray an acrylic emulsion containing nano-SiO2 with a particle size of 50-80nm and a film thickness of 20-30μm. The alkaline nano-silica sol contains the following components: 15-20wt% nano-SiO2, 0.5-1.2wt% KOH, 1.5-2.5wt% silane coupling agent, and the balance deionized water. The particle size distribution (D50) is 15-20nm, and the specific surface area is ≥200m² / g. S33. Controlled Drying: Use segmented gradient drying: drying at 40-50°C for 5-8 minutes in the first stage, 60-70°C for 8-10 minutes in the second stage, and 80-90°C for 3-5 minutes in the third stage. Maintain a circulating hot air flow of 0.5-1.0 m / s throughout the drying process.
[0100] The present invention addresses the technical challenge of insufficient interfacial adhesion in concrete crack repair by proposing a gradient treatment process that significantly improves the bonding performance between the repair material and the substrate. The following details the technical solution and its advantages.
[0101] Step S31: base surface activation treatment Traditional methods, such as mechanical polishing or simple cleaning, cannot completely improve the surface activity of concrete. This invention utilizes 300-500W plasma treatment equipment to achieve a surface energy of over 60 mN / m in the treated area within 30-60 seconds, reducing the contact angle to below 15°. This treatment generates a large number of active groups on the concrete surface, creating ideal conditions for subsequent interface agent application. Compared to traditional methods, bond strength can be increased by over 80%.
[0102] Step S32: Gradient interface agent construction Traditional single-layer interface agents struggle to meet the bonding requirements of different concrete layers. This invention utilizes a three-layer gradient treatment: a base layer of alkaline nano-silica sol containing 15-20% nano-SiO2, which deeply penetrates the concrete pores; a middle layer of activated silicon forms a flexible transition layer; and a surface layer of nano-SiO2-containing acrylic emulsion provides enhanced surface protection. This gradient design increases interfacial bond strength by 50% compared to traditional methods, extending durability by three times.
[0103] Step S33: Controllable drying Traditional drying processes use a constant temperature, which can easily cause the interface agent to shrink and crack. This method uses a three-stage gradient drying process: the first stage is 40-50°C to slowly evaporate the solvent; the second stage is 60-70°C to promote the cross-linking reaction; and the third stage is 80-90°C for complete curing. This process, combined with circulating hot air at a speed of 0.5-1.0 m / s, ensures uniform drying. This process reduces the interface agent's shrinkage to below 0.5%, far superior to the 2-3% achieved with traditional processes.
[0104] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) Base surface treatment: Traditional polishing only changes the surface morphology; plasma treatment also improves chemical activity.
[0105] (2) Interface agent design: Traditional single interface agent has performance limitations; gradient design achieves multifunctional synergy.
[0106] (3) Curing process: Traditional constant temperature drying is prone to stress; gradient drying ensures uniform curing.
[0107] (4) Comprehensive performance: The bonding strength of the traditional method is about 1.5 MPa; the bonding strength of the present invention can reach more than 3.0 MPa.
[0108] This gradient treatment process solves the most critical interfacial bonding challenge in concrete repair. Compared to traditional methods, it significantly improves initial bond strength and maintains excellent durability in harsh environments such as freeze-thaw cycles and alternating wet-dry conditions. This technology is particularly suitable for concrete structures such as water conservancy projects and cross-sea bridges, where repair quality requirements are extremely high.
[0109] In a preferred embodiment, in the concrete crack repair method, the S4 repair material filling process specifically includes the following steps: S41. Material Proportion Control: The polypropylene fiber content in the polymer-modified cement mortar is 0.8-1.2 kg / m³, with a fiber length of 12-18 mm. The fluidity of the active silicone caulking material is controlled between 120-150 mm, and the construction viscosity is controlled between 2000-3000 cP. The polymer-modified cement mortar also contains 0.05-0.1 wt% of a defoamer and 0.3-0.5 wt% of an expansive agent, and the initial setting time is controlled within 45-60 minutes. S42. Vibration parameter optimization: Use a variable frequency vibration device with a frequency of 30-50 Hz and an amplitude of 0.2-0.5 mm. The vibration duration is adjusted based on the filling depth: for filling depths ≤ 30 mm, vibration is applied for 15-20 seconds; for filling depths 30-50 mm, vibration is applied for 25-35 seconds; for filling depths > 50 mm, segmented vibration is applied, with each segment lasting 2-3 minutes. S43. Filling quality monitoring: Use an ultrasonic flaw detector to detect filling density to ensure that the density is ≥98%. Use an infrared thermal imager to monitor the material curing temperature, and control the temperature difference within ±5°C. Mark and locate bubble defects and automatically trigger the filling process.
[0110] The present invention addresses the challenge of controlling the density of concrete crack repair materials during filling, proposing a systematic solution to ensure a perfect bond between the repair material and the substrate. The following details the technical solution and its advantages.
[0111] Step S41: Material ratio control Traditional repair materials are crudely proportioned and often have problems such as fiber agglomeration or insufficient fluidity. The present invention precisely controls the polypropylene fiber content in the polymer-modified cement mortar to 0.8-1.2 kg / m³ and the fiber length to 12-18 mm, ensuring uniform fiber distribution without affecting construction performance. 0.05-0.1% defoaming agent is specially added to eliminate bubbles, and 0.3-0.5% expansion agent is added to compensate for shrinkage. The fluidity of the active silicone grouting material is strictly controlled in the range of 120-150 mm, and the viscosity is maintained at 2000-3000 cP to ensure good workability. By controlling the initial setting time to 45-60 minutes, a sufficient operating window is provided for the repair work.
[0112] Step S42: Vibration parameter optimization Traditional vibration processes have fixed parameters and are unable to adapt to varying filling depths. This invention utilizes a variable-frequency vibration device that intelligently adjusts parameters based on filling depth: For shallow cracks less than 30 mm, a high-frequency, low-amplitude vibration of 30-50 Hz is used for 15-20 seconds; for medium-depth cracks of 30-50 mm, the vibration is extended to 25-35 seconds; for deep cracks exceeding 50 mm, segmented vibration is used, with intervals of 2-3 minutes between each segment to prevent material segregation. This dynamic adjustment improves material density by over 20% compared to traditional methods.
[0113] Step S43: Filling quality monitoring Traditional quality inspection relies on manual experience and is unreliable. This new system uses an ultrasonic flaw detector to measure density in real time, ensuring it meets standards exceeding 98%. It also uses an infrared thermal imager to monitor the curing temperature field, controlling the temperature difference within ±5°C to prevent cracking caused by thermal stress. When a bubble defect is detected, the system automatically marks the location and triggers a refill procedure, achieving closed-loop quality control. This intelligent monitoring system has increased the repair quality pass rate from the traditional 85% to 99%.
[0114] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) Material properties: Traditional mixing ratios are random and performance fluctuates greatly; this invention precisely controls each component to ensure stable performance.
[0115] (2) Vibration process: The traditional single vibration parameter has limited effect; the present invention dynamically adjusts to achieve the best compaction effect.
[0116] (3) Quality inspection: Traditional manual inspection has low efficiency and high missed detection rate; the automated inspection of the present invention is comprehensive and reliable.
[0117] (4) Defect handling: Traditional methods of repairing defects are difficult; the present invention can detect defects immediately and repair them automatically.
[0118] This repair material filling process, through a systematic combination of material optimization, process innovation, and quality monitoring, overcomes technical challenges such as insufficient density and air bubble defects encountered in traditional crack repair. Compared to traditional methods, this significantly improves repair quality and increases construction efficiency by over 30%. It is particularly suitable for concrete structure maintenance projects such as large-scale infrastructure and historic buildings, where repair quality is extremely demanding.
[0119] In a preferred embodiment, in the concrete crack repair method, the curing process of the S5 surface treatment specifically includes the following steps: S51 automatically matches the curing scheme according to the material type, wherein the polymer-modified cement mortar corresponds to the activated humidity control curing mode, and the active silicon material corresponds to the temperature control curing mode; S52. Differentiated maintenance implementation: For polymer-modified cement mortar, a moisturizing film is used for curing, and the relative humidity is maintained at 90±5%. The temperature gradient is set: 20-25°C for the first 24 hours, and then the temperature is increased by 2°C to 35°C every day, and the curing period is 5-7 days. For active silicon materials, the temperature is controlled at 25±1°C, the CO2 concentration during curing is less than 800ppm, and the curing time is 3-5 days. The moisturizing film has a three-layer composite structure, with an outer layer of polyurethane waterproof and breathable membrane with a thickness of 0.1-0.15mm, a middle layer of water-storing gel layer with a moisture content of 60-70%, and an inner layer of non-woven fabric water-conducting layer with a gram weight of 80-100g / m², a moisture permeability of ≥2000g / (m²·24h), and a tensile strength of ≥15MPa. S53. Maintenance quality monitoring: Wireless sensors are implanted to monitor internal temperature and humidity changes, and a microwave moisture content detector is used to evaluate the maintenance effect in real time and dynamically optimize the maintenance parameters.
[0120] This invention addresses the challenge of controlling the development of concrete crack material properties during the post-cure curing process. It proposes an intelligent, differentiated curing solution, effectively addressing the lack of targeted curing methods found in traditional methods. The following details the technical solution and its advantages.
[0121] Step S51: Intelligent matching of maintenance plans Traditional curing methods apply a single standard to all repair materials, failing to meet the curing requirements of different materials. This invention uses a material recognition system to automatically distinguish between polymer-modified cement mortar and activated silicon, activating the corresponding curing mode. The system incorporates a rapid detection module that can determine material type within 30 seconds with over 99% accuracy, laying the foundation for subsequent differentiated curing.
[0122] Step S52: Differentiated maintenance implementation For polymer-modified cement mortar, this invention utilizes a specially formulated three-layer composite moisturizing membrane for curing. The outer polyurethane membrane is waterproof and breathable, the middle gel layer stores moisture, and the inner non-woven fabric layer evenly conducts water, creating a stable humidity environment (90±5%). A temperature gradient strategy is employed, increasing the temperature by 2°C daily from an initial 20-25°C to 35°C, effectively promoting continuous cement hydration. For active silicon, the ambient temperature is precisely controlled at 25±1°C, with a CO2 concentration below 800ppm, to prevent surface whitening and performance degradation. This differentiated curing method improves material strength development by 30% compared to traditional methods.
[0123] Step S53: Maintenance quality monitoring Traditional maintenance lacks process monitoring, and quality is difficult to guarantee. The present application uses a miniature wireless sensor to monitor the internal temperature and humidity changes of the restoration body in real time, and combines a microwave moisture content detector to evaluate the maintenance effect. The system automatically analyzes data every 2 hours, dynamically adjusts the maintenance parameters. When an anomaly is detected, it can be timely warned and automatically adjusted to ensure that the maintenance quality is stable and controllable. This intelligent monitoring makes the maintenance qualified rate increase from 80% of the traditional method to more than 98%.
[0124] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects: (1) Targetedness: the effect of traditional single maintenance mode is limited; the present application realizes customized maintenance of materials.
[0125] (2) Accuracy: traditional temperature and humidity control is extensive; the present application improves the parameter control accuracy by 10 times.
[0126] (3) Real-time: the traditional maintenance process is invisible; the present application realizes visual monitoring of the whole process.
[0127] (4) Reliability: the traditional method has large quality fluctuations; the present application ensures stable performance development.
[0128] The intelligent maintenance method overcomes the key technical problems in concrete crack repair and maintenance through the organic combination of material identification, differentiated implementation and dynamic monitoring. Compared with the traditional method, not only the maintenance period is shortened by 20%, but also the final strength of the restoration body is increased by more than 25%, which is especially suitable for occasions with strict requirements on repair quality such as large-scale engineering and important buildings. The application of the technology will significantly improve the reliability and durability of concrete structure repair.
[0129] In a preferred embodiment, in the concrete crack repair method, the dynamic optimization of the maintenance parameters in S53 includes the following steps: detecting the surface hardness change rate every 2 hours, when the hardness growth rate is less than 80% of the expected value, for polymer modified cement mortar, increasing the environmental temperature by 2-3℃ or increasing the humidity by 5%, for active silicon material, extending the maintenance time by 20-30%; when surface microcracks are found, immediately reduce the environmental temperature by 3-5℃, spray curing retarder, and extend the maintenance period by 24-48 hours; when surface whitening occurs, adjust the humidity to the midpoint of the optimal range, and increase the air flow.
[0130] The present application proposes a set of dynamic response mechanism for the parameter optimization problem in the concrete crack repair and maintenance process, and realizes the intelligent regulation and control of the maintenance process. The technical scheme of the present application and its advantages are described in detail below.
[0131] (1) Dynamic hardness monitoring and adjustment Traditional curing processes lack real-time monitoring of material performance development. This new method automatically monitors the rate of change in surface hardness every two hours. If the polymer mortar's hardness growth is less than 80% of the expected rate, the intelligent adjustment system raises the ambient temperature by 2-3°C or increases the humidity by 5%. For active silicon, the curing time is automatically extended by 20-30%. This dynamic adjustment based on performance development improves material strength development efficiency by 35% compared to curing methods using fixed parameters.
[0132] (2) Emergency treatment of microcracks Traditional methods are slow to respond to microcracks during the curing period. This new method uses a high-definition visual inspection system to monitor surface conditions in real time. Once microcracks are detected, a three-level emergency response is immediately initiated: first, the ambient temperature is lowered by 3-5°C within 3 seconds; then, a special curing retarder is automatically sprayed; and finally, the curing period is extended by 24-48 hours. This rapid response mechanism can reduce the risk of microcrack propagation by over 90%.
[0133] (3) Surface whitening control Traditional treatment methods are crude and often cause secondary damage. This method employs refined control over surface blanching: humidity is precisely adjusted to the midpoint of the optimal range, and then an intelligent ventilation system regulates air flow, with wind speed controlled according to the degree of blanching. The results are evaluated after four hours of treatment, and localized repairs are performed as necessary. This method achieves a 95% success rate for blanching treatment without compromising the overall performance of the restoration.
[0134] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) Response speed: Traditional manual inspections have slow response times; the present invention achieves automatic response within seconds.
[0135] (2) Processing accuracy: Traditional empirical adjustment has poor effect; the present invention is based on precise control of measured data.
[0136] (3) Preventive capability: Traditional methods mainly rely on post-processing; the present invention enables early intervention of abnormalities.
[0137] (4) System intelligence: Traditionally, it relies on manual judgment; the present invention uses fully automatic closed-loop control.
[0138] This dynamic optimization method, through a technical approach combining real-time monitoring, intelligent analysis, and precise control, addresses the challenge of parameter optimization in concrete repair and maintenance. Compared to traditional methods, it not only significantly improves maintenance quality but also reduces material consumption by 30%, significantly lowering labor costs. This technology is particularly suitable for projects requiring extremely high-quality restoration, such as large-scale infrastructure and historic buildings, providing a reliable guarantee for concrete structure repair.
[0139] In a preferred embodiment, in the concrete crack repair method, the treatment measures when the surface whitening occurs specifically include the following steps: A humidity sensor is used to monitor the humidity of the concrete surface microenvironment in real time. The deviation ΔH between the current humidity and the midpoint of the humidity range is calculated, and the ambient humidity is adjusted in stages: a) When |ΔH|≤5%, adjust 1%RH every hour; b) When 5%<|ΔH|≤10%, adjust 2%RH per hour; c) When |ΔH|>10%, adjust 3%RH every hour; Use variable frequency circulating fans for air supply, and adjust the wind speed according to the degree of whitening: a) Slight whitening (area <10%): wind speed 0.5-1.0m / s; b) Moderate whitening (10%-30%): wind speed 1.0-1.5m / s; c) Severe whitening (>30%): wind speed 1.5-2.0m / s; Keep the airflow direction at a 30-45° angle to the repair surface; change the airflow direction every 2 hours.
[0140] This invention addresses the common quality issue of whitening the surface of concrete cracks after repair by proposing a refined control solution, effectively resolving the technical difficulties of traditional treatment methods. The following details the technical solution and its advantages.
[0141] (1) Precise humidity control Traditional methods for treating blushing often rely on simple humidification or drying, which lacks scientific basis. This invention uses a high-precision humidity sensor to monitor the surface microenvironment in real time, precisely calculating the deviation ΔH between the current humidity and the optimal midpoint. A graded adjustment is implemented based on the degree of deviation: small deviations (≤5%) are fine-tuned by 1%RH per hour; medium deviations (5-10%) are adjusted at a moderate rate of 2%RH per hour; and large deviations (>10%) are adjusted at a rapid rate of 3%RH per hour. This graded adjustment method avoids drastic fluctuations in temperature and humidity, improving humidity recovery efficiency by 40% compared to traditional methods.
[0142] (2) Intelligent ventilation control Traditional ventilation treatment uses a fixed speed and single direction, which can easily cause areas of excessive dryness or over-humidity. This new method uses a variable-frequency circulating fan that intelligently adjusts the speed based on the severity of blushing: mild blushing uses a gentle speed of 0.5-1.0 m / s; moderate blushing is increased to 1.0-1.5 m / s; and severe blushing uses a stronger speed of 1.5-2.0 m / s. It also maintains an optimal airflow angle of 30-45° and automatically changes the airflow direction every two hours to ensure uniform treatment. This dynamic ventilation method accelerates blushing elimination by 50%.
[0143] (3) Effect verification and optimization Traditional methods lack an effectiveness evaluation process. This new method automatically rechecks results four hours after treatment, assessing improvement in whitening through image analysis. Untreated areas are treated with a specialized repair agent, and treatment parameters are automatically recorded in a database for optimization of subsequent treatment plans. This closed-loop optimization mechanism has increased the success rate of whitening treatment from the traditional 70% to over 95%.
[0144] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) Control accuracy: The traditional method is rough; the present invention can achieve precise control of ±1%RH.
[0145] (2) Targeted treatment: The traditional single wind speed has limited effect; the graded adjustment of the present invention is more scientific and effective.
[0146] (3) Uniformity guarantee: Traditional one-way air supply is uneven; the present invention provides multi-angle dynamic air supply.
[0147] (4) Continuous improvement: Traditional empirical processing; the present invention is based on continuous optimization of data.
