Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building materials, and in particular relates to a magnesium phosphate-based fast-hardening repair material and its application method. Background Technology
[0002] Concrete structures such as roads, bridges, and tunnels commonly face early damage and functional degradation under the combined effects of extreme weather events, geological disasters (such as freeze-thaw cycles and landslides), and overloaded operation. Therefore, developing high-performance, fast-setting concrete repair materials has become a key issue in ensuring the durability of infrastructure. Ideal fast-setting repair materials must meet multiple performance requirements: in terms of workability, they must have controllable setting time and good flowability; in terms of mechanical properties, they should achieve rapid early strength development and long-term strength stability.
[0003] Magnesium phosphate-based materials are currently common quick-setting repair materials for concrete, but traditional magnesium phosphate-based materials suffer from poor water resistance. Furthermore, to reduce the production cost of quick-setting concrete repair materials, some solid waste materials such as steel slag and mineral slag are often added to their raw materials. However, due to the low activity of these solid waste materials, their dosage is usually low to avoid adversely affecting the performance of the quick-setting concrete repair materials.

[0065] Performance Evaluation
[0066] The samples prepared in Comparative Examples 1-4 and Examples 1-3 were tested for fluidity, setting time, compressive strength, and water resistance. The testing methods are as follows:
[0067] (1) Flowability: Determined according to Chinese national standard GB / T 8077-2012.
[0068] (2) Setting time: determined according to Chinese standard GB / T1346-2011.
[0069] (3) Compressive strength: In accordance with the Chinese standard GB / T 17671-1999, the compressive strength of specimens with dimensions of 40mm×40mm×40mm was tested on a universal testing machine with a loading rate of 2.4kN / s. The compressive strength was measured three times at the specified age and the average value was recorded. The compressive strength was determined at 1d, 7d, 14d, and 28d.
[0070] (4) Water resistance strength: The water resistance performance of the sample is evaluated by the strength retention rate (water resistance coefficient). The higher the strength retention rate, the more outstanding the water resistance performance of the sample. The strength retention rate is calculated as the ratio of the compressive strength of the specimen cured in water to the compressive strength of the specimen cured under natural conditions. The calculation formula is W=Fw / Fn, where Fw is the compressive strength of the specimen under water curing (MPa), Fn is the compressive strength of the specimen under natural curing (MPa), and W is the strength retention rate (%). The surface of the specimen should be kept clean and dry before the test (aging: 1, 3, 7, 14, 28 days).
