Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of building materials technology, specifically to a bridge anti-disturbance concrete material and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] In bridge engineering, key components such as ramp concrete, spliced concrete, and anchorage concrete of suspension bridges are prone to quality defects under long-term vibration loads, affecting the structural durability and safety.
[0003] Firstly, vibration causes the surface mortar of the concrete to detach, exposing the aggregate. Under repeated loading, micro-cracks inside the concrete connect to form macro-cracks. Long-term vibration can also promote the development of initial defects (such as air bubbles and water channels) into through cracks. Cracks accelerate the penetration of moisture and chloride ions, easily causing steel corrosion and thus leading to durability deterioration. At the same time, once cracks become channels for moisture penetration, damage will be exacerbated under winter frost heave conditions, reducing overall strength. Secondly, the stress in the anchorage zone of suspension bridges is complex. The main cable transmits high-frequency vibrations (typically 5-30Hz) under wind vibration and vehicle loads, causing the accumulation of micro-cracks inside the concrete, leading to fatigue damage inside the concrete, a decrease in strength and dynamic elastic modulus, and making the concrete in the anchorage zone prone to crushing or spalling.
[0004] Current technologies often add crack-resistant materials (such as steel fibers), which are costly and prone to corrosion. Chinese patent CN106587787B, entitled "Anti-disturbance Concrete and its Preparation Method," discloses an anti-disturbance concrete comprising grout, aggregate, water, and additives, with a mass ratio of grout:aggregate:water = 69.7:20.9:9.4. The additives are one or two of fibers, crack-resistant toughening admixtures, and early-strength agents. The fiber content is 0.1%–0.4% of the grout, the crack-resistant toughening admixture is 0.01%–0.03% of the grout, and the early-strength agent is 0.5%–1% of the grout. While the above technical solution uses fibers and crack-resistant toughening admixtures to improve toughness, it still suffers from fiber agglomeration and poor dispersibility, and lacks adaptability to high-frequency vibration and extreme low-temperature environments. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a bridge anti-disturbance concrete material and its preparation method, which improves the adaptability of concrete to high-frequency vibration and extreme low-temperature environment.

[0009] Optionally, the preparation method of the modified styrene-butadiene rubber particles includes the following steps: dispersing styrene-butadiene rubber particles in toluene solvent, adding silane coupling agent, reacting at 60-80℃ for 2-4 hours, and obtaining modified styrene-butadiene rubber particles after washing and drying.
[0010] Optionally, the fiber is copper-plated steel fiber or polyester fiber.
[0011] Optionally, the copper layer thickness of the copper-plated steel fiber is 3~5μm, and the resistivity is ≤1.5×10⁻⁶. -7 Ω·m, with a length-to-diameter ratio of 60-80.
[0012] Optionally, the modified styrene-butadiene rubber particles have a particle size of 50-100 μm.
[0013] Optionally, the gel material includes silicate cement, nano-kaolin, graphene-modified silica aerogel, and ultrafine slag powder.
[0014] Optionally, the graphene-modified silica aerogel is produced by Zhejiang Shaoxing Shengnuo New Material Co., Ltd., and the product model is SN-G-SiO2.
[0015] Optionally, the specific surface area of the ultrafine slag powder is ≥800m² / kg.
[0016] Optionally, the functional additives are water-reducing agents, air-entraining agents, and potassium titanate whiskers.
[0017] Optionally, the water-reducing agent is a triethanolamine derivative; the air-entraining agent is calcium stearate.
[0018] Optional components include the following by weight: 40-50 parts silicate cement, 8-15 parts nano-kaolin, 3-5 parts graphene-modified silica aerogel, 10-25 parts ultrafine slag powder, 1.5-2 parts copper-plated steel fiber, 0.5-1.0 parts polyester fiber, 5-8 parts modified styrene-butadiene rubber granules, 2-4 parts self-healing microcapsules, 0.5-1 part water-reducing agent, 0.01-0.03 parts air-entraining agent, 1-2 parts potassium titanate whiskers, and 8-11 parts water.
[0019] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention also provides a method for preparing bridge anti-disturbance concrete material, comprising the following steps: S1. Mix silicate cement, nano-kaolin, graphene-modified silica aerogel, ultrafine slag powder, and modified styrene-butadiene rubber particles evenly, then add copper-plated steel fibers and dry mix evenly. S2. Add water-reducing agent, self-healing microcapsules and water to the material mixed in step S1 and mix evenly. Then add polyester fiber and mix evenly. S3. Add air-entraining agent and potassium titanate whiskers to the material mixed in step S2, and stir to obtain bridge anti-disturbance concrete material.

[0021] The above-described technical solution of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: The reinforcing material provided by this invention features copper-plated steel fibers with low resistance and strong conductivity, which inhibit rusting. The addition of polyester fibers suppresses early plastic cracking. Self-healing microcapsules trigger rupture at the crack, releasing nano-calcium oxide particles that expand upon contact with water, aiding in crack closure. The resulting alkaline environment causes the gel material to form a gel structure that fills the crack. Furthermore, this invention uses modified styrene-butadiene rubber particles to dissipate vibrational energy. The combination of these three elements—early-stage fiber inhibition of cracking, continuous vibrational energy dissipation to prevent cracking, and self-repair even if cracking occurs later—achieves the concrete's adaptability to high-frequency vibration.
[0022] In this invention, the air-entraining agent combined with ultrafine slag powder improves the frost resistance, impermeability, and crack resistance of concrete by introducing microbubbles, while also optimizing fluidity. The introduction of slag powder also lowers the hydration reaction temperature of the material, reducing the generation of temperature cracks and shrinkage cracks caused by temperature accumulation and internal and external temperature differences during construction.
[0023] The concrete material obtained by the technical solution provided by this invention has been tested and found that the strength decay rate under dynamic load is controlled within 5%; the self-repair cycle of microcracks is ≤14 days (60% humidity environment); and the mass loss rate after 300 freeze-thaw cycles is ≤1.5%.
