Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of concrete durability tests, and particularly relates to a concrete dry-wet durability cycle system. Background Art

[0002] The environment where dry-wet cycles exist belongs to a type of corrosive environment. In a corrosive environment, concrete structures are prone to corrosion, leading to a decline in their performance, directly affecting the safety and durability of concrete structures. A typical example in this environment is... Compared with ordinary environments, the performance of concrete structures, especially reinforced concrete structures, degrades rapidly during service in a corrosive environment. The impact of a corrosive environment on the durability of concrete structures is an issue that urgently needs to be studied and solved. Currently, there are generally two test methods for studying the performance degradation law of concrete structures in a corrosive environment. One is the on-site exposure test method, and the other is the indoor accelerated test method. The former uses the real on-site environment as the corrosive environment, especially the environment where dry-wet cycles exist, and has disadvantages such as inconvenient observation and many accidental factors. The latter uses an environment close to the real on-site environment as the simulation environment and has advantages such as convenient observation and controllable factors. The indoor accelerated test method is the test method adopted in most studies. For example, an environmental simulation device for testing the erosion of concrete under a complex coupling environment disclosed in Patent Application No. CN202320606346.0 includes a simulation box body, a weight monitoring component, a laser scanner, a temperature control component, a rainfall component, an air flow simulation component, an ultraviolet simulation component, a time relay, and a control processor. The weight monitoring component is arranged inside the simulation box body, and the laser scanner, ultraviolet simulation component, air flow simulation component, and temperature control component are all arranged inside the simulation box body and above the weight monitoring component. The rainfall component is arranged at the top of the simulation box body, and the time relay and control processor are arranged outside the simulation box body. This technical solution can automatically simulate daily dry-wet cycles, wind erosion, and ultraviolet irradiation environments, providing support for experiments that need to long-term simulate the cyclic conditions of a daily complex coupling environment, and can also monitor the weight change of concrete test blocks in real time and scan them, so that experimenters can analyze the durability performance of concrete blocks. There is also a durability test box for concrete under the action of salt spray erosion disclosed in Patent Application No. CN202120853835.7, which is used to solve the problem that existing test devices cannot truly simulate the influence of the combined action of load and salt spray erosion on marine concrete structures. It includes a main body pp board box, a spraying system, a constant temperature system, an exhaust system, and a circulation system. This test device has a simple structure and low cost, can ensure the uniform dispersion of the test solution, and the temperature inside the box body is constant. This test box can also be used for other types of durability tests, such as carbonation, dry-wet cycles, etc. The above technical solutions can all complete simulation experiments, but the water vapor generated after the experiments will be directly discharged into the outdoor environment, which will cause waste of resources.
