Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of low-carbon concrete, and particularly relates to a high-anti-cracking and water-erosion-resistant low-carbon concrete and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a key field of carbon emission, the building industry has become the core direction of the industry development to promote the low-carbon upgrading of concrete materials. The low-carbon concrete usually replaces part of cement by mixing industrial solid waste mineral admixtures such as fly ash, slag powder and silica ash, which not only can reduce the cement consumption and related carbon emission, but also can realize the resource utilization of industrial waste, in line with the development concept of green building materials. However, the large amount of introduction of mineral admixtures will change the hydration process of concrete, leading to the imbalance of the internal free water consumption rate, and easily causing plastic shrinkage cracks and drying shrinkage cracks; at the same time, the lagging nature of the pozzolanic reaction of mineral admixtures will also make the early strength development of concrete slow, and the structure of the interfacial transition zone is relatively loose, which is easy to cause surface erosion, aggregate exposure and other damages under the scouring and grinding action of high-speed water flow with sand and gravel, etc. abrasive, which seriously shortens the service life of concrete structure.

[0003] The anti-cracking performance and water-erosion resistance of concrete are the key indicators to determine the service quality of concrete in special scenes such as water conservancy projects and high-speed water channels. In order to solve the problems of high carbon emission and insufficient anti-cracking performance of traditional concrete, the existing technology usually adds industrial solid waste such as fly ash and slag powder as mineral admixtures to replace part of cement to achieve the low-carbon target and improve the workability and volume stability of concrete. However, the activity of such mineral admixtures is relatively low, and when the replacement amount is large, it is easy to cause the slow development of the early strength of concrete, and the surface anti-erosion ability under water scouring and grinding is decreased. At the same time, simply relying on mineral admixtures modification is difficult to fundamentally solve the anti-cracking problem caused by the low tensile strength and insufficient toughness of concrete. In order to improve the water-erosion resistance of concrete, the existing technology usually adopts the way of increasing the density of concrete or adding steel fibers, polypropylene fibers and other reinforcing phases. Among them, increasing the density usually depends on reducing the water-binder ratio or adding active admixtures such as silica ash, but too low water-binder ratio will cause the workability of concrete to deteriorate, and the construction difficulty increases, and the high activity of silica ash will also aggravate the problem of hydration heat concentration; although steel fibers can significantly improve the impact resistance and wear resistance of concrete, they have the defects of easy corrosion, uneven distribution and high cost, and will increase the resistance of concrete mixing and pumping; the reinforcing effect of polypropylene fibers is limited, and the interface peeling is easy to occur under the action of high-speed water flow scouring and grinding, and the long-term wear resistance is difficult to guarantee.

[0004] In addition, in actual engineering applications, the existing low-carbon concrete often faces the dilemma of being difficult to balance "low carbonization" and "high performance": if the amount of mineral admixture replacement is increased to reduce carbon emissions, the key performance of the concrete, such as crack resistance and water erosion resistance, will be significantly reduced; if the performance is improved by increasing the amount of cement or using high-cost reinforcing materials, it will violate the concept of low-carbon development, and the economy is poor.

[0005] Therefore, it is a technical problem to be solved in the field of concrete materials to develop a concrete material system that can simultaneously realize low cement content, low carbon emission, excellent crack resistance and strong water erosion resistance, and optimize its preparation process.

[0034] The present invention also provides a low-carbon concrete with high crack resistance and water erosion resistance, which is prepared by any of the methods for preparing a low-carbon concrete with high crack resistance and water erosion resistance as described in any one of the claims.

[0035] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0036] 1. This invention incorporates a superabsorbent polymer to prepare low-carbon concrete. This polymer absorbs free water generated during concrete mixing and releases it slowly in the later stages of hydration. This "internal reservoir" effect effectively compensates for water loss caused by hydration and evaporation, reducing plastic shrinkage and drying shrinkage of the concrete. Furthermore, the absorbed water expands and fills the capillary pores inside the concrete, increasing matrix density and enhancing impermeability and water erosion resistance. Additionally, N-vinylpyrrolidone is introduced into the superabsorbent polymer. N-vinylpyrrolidone is a strongly hydrophilic nonionic monomer, and its nonionic groups are insensitive to ion concentration in solution. In concrete, a high-carbon concrete... In alkaline ionic environments, the water absorption capacity of anionic polymers decreases significantly due to the "charge shielding effect." The introduction of N-vinylpyrrolidone can effectively counteract this negative impact, allowing the superabsorbent polymer to maintain a high water absorption rate and water retention capacity even in the harsh chemical environment of concrete pore solutions. This ensures the reliability of the internal curing effect. Furthermore, the carbonyl and amide groups in the N-vinylpyrrolidone molecule can interact with calcium ions or silanol groups on the surface of cement hydration products. This interaction can improve the bonding between the superabsorbent polymer and the cement paste interface, reduce interfacial gaps, and further enhance the crack resistance and water erosion resistance of concrete.

[0037] 2. The modified calcium-aluminum hydrotalcite added in this invention has a unique layered structure. Its layers carry a positive charge. When chloride ions penetrate concrete from the environment, they are captured and fixed between the layers by the hydrotalcite, thus delaying or even preventing chloride ions from reaching the surface of the reinforcing steel, effectively preventing steel corrosion. Furthermore, the dense layered structure of the hydrotalcite can fill the capillary pores inside the concrete, blocking the penetration channels of moisture and harmful ions, enhancing water erosion resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. Moreover, microcrystalline cellulose is introduced during the preparation of the modified calcium-aluminum hydrotalcite for modification; microcrystalline cellulose acts as a structural component... Crystal inhibitors can suppress the lateral growth of calcium aluminum hydrotalcite crystals, causing them to form smaller and thinner nanosheet structures. At the same time, microcrystalline cellulose can form hydrogen bonds with the OH⁻ of calcium aluminum hydrotalcite through hydroxyl groups, encapsulating the surface of calcium aluminum hydrotalcite, enhancing the electrostatic repulsion between modified calcium aluminum hydrotalcite and improving its dispersibility. In addition, smaller and thinner hydrotalcite particles can fill the capillary and gel pores of cement stone, making the microstructure of concrete more compact. This not only improves the compressive strength and toughness but also enhances the concrete's resistance to water erosion.

[0038] 3. This invention incorporates reinforcing fibers into the preparation of low-carbon concrete. These fibers can cross cracks, effectively transfer stress, and dissipate energy, thereby inhibiting crack initiation and preventing micro-cracks from expanding into macro-cracks. This improves the toughness and impact resistance of the concrete. The addition of fibers transforms the concrete from a brittle material into a more resilient composite material, better resisting the repeated action of dynamic water pressure and the cutting of silt particles, thus improving its resistance to water erosion. A dual modification process using TEOS modification and waterborne polyurethane coating overcomes the inherent defects of natural sisal fibers. The silica coating formed after TEOS hydrolysis coats the surface of the sisal fibers, not only improving their resistance to alkali corrosion but also preventing them from being eroded and degraded by the alkaline hydration environment of the concrete. The solution also increases the surface roughness of the fibers; the subsequent waterborne polyurethane coating further enhances the flexibility and tensile toughness of the fibers, reduces fiber breakage during concrete mixing, and ensures that the fibers can effectively play a mechanical reinforcing role in the matrix. The silanol groups introduced by TEOS modification can form chemical bonds with the cement hydration products and the hydroxyl groups of modified calcium aluminum hydrotalcite. The polar groups of waterborne polyurethane can also form hydrogen bonds with the amide groups of superabsorbent polymers and the active sites on the aggregate surface, reducing defects in the interface transition zone between the reinforcing fibers and the concrete matrix, and achieving a tight bond between the "fiber-matrix". This can reduce the cutting and erosion damage to the concrete surface caused by abrasives carried by water flow, enabling low-carbon concrete to have a longer service life in scenarios such as water conservancy projects and high-speed water flow channels.

[0039] 4. In this invention, the superabsorbent polymer, modified calcium aluminum hydrotalcite, and reinforcing fibers can form a synergistically reinforcing composite system within the concrete. The internal curing effect of the superabsorbent polymer promotes the full hydration of cement, and together with the pore-filling effect of the modified calcium aluminum hydrotalcite, it contributes to the micro-densification of the matrix. The uniformly dispersed reinforcing fibers constrain the shrinkage and cracking of the matrix on a macroscopic scale. Meanwhile, the modified calcium aluminum hydrotalcite, while increasing density, provides additional protection for the reinforcing steel through its chloride ion curing function. These three components each play their respective roles while complementing each other, jointly improving the crack resistance, impermeability, and water erosion resistance of low-carbon concrete from multiple dimensions, including physical filling, chemical curing, and mechanical reinforcement.

Then add the water-reducing agent solution and reinforcing fibers and stir at a speed of 95 r / min for 11 min to obtain low-carbon concrete.

[0090] Comparative Example 1 differs from Example 1 in that the superabsorbent polymer, modified calcium aluminum hydrotalcite and reinforcing fiber in steps S1-S3 and S4.1 are removed, while the remaining steps remain unchanged to prepare low-carbon concrete. This is referred to as Comparative Example 1.

[0091] Comparative Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that step S1 is removed, and the superabsorbent polymer in step S4.1 is replaced with an equal amount of polyacrylic acid, while the remaining steps remain unchanged to prepare low-carbon concrete. This is referred to as Comparative Example 2.

[0092] Comparative Example 3 differs from Example 1 in that N-vinylpyrrolidone in step S1.1 is removed, while the remaining steps remain unchanged in preparing low-carbon concrete. This example is referred to as Comparative Example 3.

[0093] Comparative Example 4 differs from Example 1 in that it involves removing microcrystalline cellulose in step S2.2 while keeping the other steps unchanged in preparing low-carbon concrete.

[0094] Comparative Example 5 differs from Example 1 in that step S3 is removed, and the reinforcing fiber in step S4.1 is replaced with an equal amount of sisal fiber, while the remaining steps remain unchanged in preparing low-carbon concrete. This is referred to as Comparative Example 5.

[0095] The low-carbon concrete prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 was poured and cured for 28 days according to standard concrete specimens to obtain each concrete specimen.

[0096] Compressive strength test: The compressive strength of concrete specimens was tested using a pressure testing machine in accordance with the "Standard for Test Methods of Mechanical Properties of Ordinary Concrete" (GB / T50081-2002).

[0097] Crack resistance test: The square and round crack resistance test was adopted. The low carbon concrete prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were poured according to the standard concrete specimens and cured for 3 days. Then, they were transferred to the oven and forced to crack at 120°C for 28 days. The total area of ​​cracks in the concrete specimens was measured.

[0098] Water abrasion resistance test: Refer to the "Test Procedure for Hydraulic Concrete" (DL / T5150-2001), abrasion tester is used to abrade the concrete specimens for 72 hours at a water flow rate of 12 m / s, and the mass loss rate of the concrete specimens is calculated.

[0099] The performance of concrete specimens prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 was measured three times, and the average value was taken. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0100] Table 1. Performance test results of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5

[0101]

[0102] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the data in Comparative Example 1 is worse than that in the Example 1, indicating that the addition of superabsorbent polymer, modified calcium aluminum hydrotalcite, and reinforcing fibers in this invention collectively improves the crack resistance and water abrasion resistance of low-carbon concrete. The data from Comparative Examples 2-3 show that the novel superabsorbent polymer prepared in this invention exhibits better "internal curing" effect, crack resistance, and water abrasion resistance in concrete under high-alkali conditions than traditional polyacrylic acid, and the addition of N-vinylpyrrolidone further enhances crack resistance and abrasion resistance. The data from Comparative Example 4 shows that the hydrotalcite without microcrystalline cellulose modification has poor crack resistance and abrasion resistance because its dispersibility is poor, resulting in unsatisfactory reinforcement, crack resistance, and abrasion resistance. This indicates that the introduction of microcrystalline cellulose effectively inhibits crystal growth and improves dispersion, thus effectively improving crack resistance and water abrasion resistance. The data from Comparative Example 5 shows that the modified sisal fiber can significantly improve the crack resistance, water abrasion resistance, and compressive strength of concrete.

[0103] The concrete specimens prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were subjected to drying shrinkage tests in accordance with GB / T50082-2009. The tests were performed three times, and the average value was taken. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0104] Table 2. Results of drying shrinkage performance tests for Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3

[0105]

[0106] As can be seen from the data in Table 2, the drying shrinkage values ​​of Examples 1-3 are significantly lower than those of Comparative Example 1, indicating that the synergistic system of superabsorbent polymer, modified calcium aluminum hydrotalcite and reinforcing fiber introduced in this invention has an extremely significant effect on inhibiting concrete drying shrinkage and preventing cracking. As can be seen from the data in Comparative Example 2, the superabsorbent polymer prepared in this invention has a better "internal curing" effect than the traditional ordinary polyacrylic acid superabsorbent polymer. As can be seen from the data in Comparative Example 3, the introduction of N-vinylpyrrolidone can further improve the "internal curing" effect and reduce concrete drying shrinkage.

Parts not described in detail in this specification are prior art known to those skilled in the art.
