Description

Technical Field

[0002] In concrete structural engineering, the formation of cracks is a common disease. Especially in complex service environments, cracks may lead to problems such as water intrusion and steel corrosion, seriously affecting the durability and safety of the structure. Therefore, the anti-seepage performance after crack repair has become a key indicator for evaluating the repair effect. Existing repair methods include traditional chemical grouting, surface coating repair, and self-healing repair materials developed in recent years. Self-healing materials can form a new sealing layer at the crack through their own reaction or chemical reaction after contact with water, thereby restoring the anti-seepage performance of concrete. This type of material is particularly suitable for automatically repairing small cracks in complex environments.

[0003] However, existing technologies mostly focus on surface repair effects or structural strength testing after crack repair, lack precise testing methods for anti-seepage performance, and cannot fully reflect the performance of repair materials under actual working conditions. Especially for self-healing materials, their long-term anti-seepage performance is difficult to scientifically evaluate through conventional testing methods.

[0004] To address this issue, a specialized device is urgently needed that can effectively test the impermeability of cracks after repair by simulating water seepage conditions. By accurately measuring the permeability of the repaired area and scientifically evaluating the actual performance of the repair material, we can optimize material selection and repair processes, ensure effective repairs, and enhance the durability and service life of the structure.

[0022] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, a device for testing the water seepage rate of the self-healing performance of concrete cracks includes a measuring cylinder 1, a sealing cap 2, a booster pump 3, and a water collection tank 4. The measuring cylinder 1 is provided with a rubber sealing layer 6, which is connected to a cracked concrete test block 7 via a fixing assembly. The measuring cylinder 1 is provided with a first water inlet 8, and the booster pump 3 is provided with a second water outlet 9. The first water inlet 8 is connected to the second water outlet 9 via an inlet pipe 5. First, the repair material to be tested is applied to the cracked concrete test block 7, and the cracked concrete test block 7 is fixed below the measuring cylinder 1 using a fixing assembly, with the crack located directly below the measuring cylinder 1. The booster pump 3 delivers water to the measuring cylinder 1 through the inlet pipe 5. The measuring cylinder 1 is made of acrylic, and the height of the water level in the measuring cylinder 1 can be directly observed. The initial water level in the measuring cylinder 1 is recorded, and the water level is re-recorded after a period of time to determine the repair performance of the repair material. The water collection tank 4 has a cavity and is covered with a water inlet plate at its upper end. This inlet plate is provided with multiple seepage holes. If the repair material's repair performance is poor, water can enter the water collection tank 4 through the seepage holes. The water collection tank 4 is provided with a first water outlet 10, and the booster pump 3 is provided with a second water inlet 11. The first water outlet 10 is connected to the second water inlet 11 via an outlet pipe 25. The water then returns to the booster pump 3 through the outlet pipe 25.

[0023] The booster pump 3 is provided with an electronic display 12 and a water pressure adjustment knob 13. The electronic display 12 is used to display the water pressure in real time, and the water pressure adjustment knob 13 is used to adjust the water pressure entering the graduated cylinder 1. The water pressure adjustment knob 13 can be used to adjust the water pressure reaching the crack, thereby testing the repair performance of the repair material under different water pressures. In this way, the appropriate repair material can be selected under different environmental pressures, reducing repair costs and improving repair results.

[0024] The fixing assembly includes a control handle 21, a fixing rod 22 and a clamping jaw 23; the fixing rod 22 is arranged above the rubber sealing layer 6 through a rotating member, and the control handle 21 is inserted into the upper end of the fixing rod 22; one end of the clamping jaw 23 is connected to the fixing rod 22, and the other end abuts against the bottom of the cracked concrete test block 7. One end of the clamping jaw 23 is provided with a spiral hole, and the spiral hole is provided with an internal thread; the fixing rod 22 is provided with an external thread, and the clamping jaw 23 is threadedly connected to the fixing rod 22; a limiting strip is provided at the bottom of the clamping jaw 23, and the end of the fiber strip has a rounded corner.

[0025] The sealing cap 2 is provided with an internal thread, and the top of the measuring cylinder 1 is provided with an external thread. The sealing cap 2 is threadedly connected to the measuring cylinder 1. The sealing cap 2 is provided with a sealing ring to prevent the pressure provided by the booster pump 3 from being affected. After testing the repair performance of the repair material, the sealing cap 2 is removed from the measuring cylinder 1, the water is poured out, and the measuring cylinder 1 is cleaned for the next use.

[0026] Specific test steps:

[0027] Step 1: Prepare the concrete test block

[0028] Clean the concrete test block to be tested and ensure that there are no impurities, dust or other contaminants in the cracks. Select a suitable repair material (such as epoxy resin, polyurethane, etc.), fill it into the crack according to the material instructions, and ensure that the repair material is completely cured.

[0029] Step 2: Install the concrete test block

[0030] Remove the sealing cap from the graduated cylinder and place the repaired concrete block in the device's grips. Adjust the control handle to ensure the crack in the concrete block is aligned directly below the graduated cylinder. Ensure the block is securely attached to the rubber seal through the mounting assembly to prevent leakage or displacement during the experiment.

[0031] Step 3: Sealing the Unit

[0032] After securing the concrete test block, reinstall the sealing cap onto the graduated cylinder and tighten the internal threads to ensure the entire system is sealed properly to prevent water and pressure leaks. Check all connections to ensure they are installed correctly.

[0033] Step 4: Connect the Booster Pump and Water Collection System

[0034] Use the water inlet pipe to connect the second water outlet of the booster pump to the first water inlet of the measuring cylinder. At the same time, ensure that the water collection tank is connected to the second water inlet of the booster pump through the water outlet pipe to form a water circulation loop.

[0035] Step 5: Setting the Water Pressure

[0036] Start the booster pump and set the desired initial water pressure using the water pressure adjustment knob. Use the electronic display to monitor the water pressure in the system in real time. Adjust the water pressure according to the experimental requirements to simulate the actual anti-seepage performance of the crack under different water pressure conditions.

[0037] Step 6: Start experimenting

[0038] A booster pump injects water into a graduated cylinder through an inlet pipe. Water is gradually applied to the surface of the repaired concrete specimen. The initial water level in the graduated cylinder at the start of the test is recorded to ensure consistent starting conditions.

[0039] Step 7: Water seepage monitoring

[0040] As water pressure is applied, the water level in the graduated cylinder is regularly recorded. By observing the rate at which the water level in the graduated cylinder drops, it is possible to monitor whether water is leaking through the cracks into the water collection tank. If leakage occurs, water will enter the water collection tank through the cracks. The amount of water seeping through and the duration of the seepage are recorded.

[0041] Step 8: End the experiment

[0042] When the predetermined test time or water pressure condition is reached, turn off the booster pump, remove the sealing cover, drain the water in the measuring cylinder, and clean all device components, especially the contact surface between the measuring cylinder and the test block, in preparation for the next test.

[0043] Step 9: Data Recording and Analysis

[0044] Record the water level drop, water seepage volume, and seepage time during each test. Compare this data with the performance of different repair materials to evaluate their effectiveness at resisting seepage under varying pressures. By comparing permeability and seepage time, determine the optimal repair material and process.

[0045] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by technicians in this technical field within the essential scope of the present invention should also fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
