Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of civil engineering materials, and particularly relates to a concrete multi-ion coupling erosion numerical simulation method based on a random aggregate model. BACKGROUND

[0002] As the most widely used building material, the long-term durability of concrete is a key factor determining the safety and service life of structures. In coastal, saline soil and other environments, the erosion process of concrete structures is extremely complex, often being the result of the synergistic effect of chloride ion penetration, sulfate erosion and matrix calcium dissolution. These processes interact with each other, and the coupling effect of concrete structure deterioration caused by these processes is different from the simple superposition of a single factor.

[0003] Currently, the main technical means to study the durability of concrete include physical tests and numerical simulations. Physical tests, such as indoor accelerated erosion tests and outdoor long-term exposure tests, can partially simulate real erosion environments and are the traditional means to obtain the deterioration law of concrete materials. However, physical tests have limitations such as long test period (especially exposure tests) and high cost. In addition, in environments where multiple chemical substances coexist, physical tests are difficult to effectively separate and quantify the independent contribution and coupling effect of different ions.

[0004] To make up for the shortcomings of physical tests, efficient and low-cost numerical simulation methods have emerged and have become an indispensable research tool in the field of concrete durability. However, a high-fidelity numerical simulation method must also make breakthroughs in two aspects: one is the authenticity of the geometric model, that is, accurately reproducing the heterogeneous microstructure of concrete; the other is the completeness of the physical and chemical model, that is, accurately describing the complex coupling mechanism of multi-species ion erosion.

[0005] Existing multi-ion coupling erosion numerical simulation methods have significant shortcomings in both key aspects. In the geometric model aspect, existing multi-ion coupling erosion simulation mostly uses macro-homogeneous models, which regard concrete as a whole and ignore the multi-phase structure of aggregates, mortar, interfaces and other internal structures of concrete, which may lead to distortion of the simulation of ion transport paths, and thus affect the accuracy of the design and evaluation of concrete structure durability. In the physical and chemical model aspect, the description of the multi-ion coupling mechanism in existing research is severely insufficient. Current models describe the erosion process of two ions (such as chloride-sulfate). For the complex system of chloride-sulfate-calcium ion coupling, existing research is extremely limited. SUMMARY

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a concrete multi-ion coupling erosion numerical simulation method based on a random aggregate model, which can efficiently generate a random aggregate geometric model and stably and accurately solve the complex process of multi-ion synergistic erosion on the high-fidelity structure, and has great theoretical and engineering value for improving the accuracy of concrete structure durability evaluation and life prediction.
