[0017] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0018] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this application provides an automatic repair structure for micro-cracks in concrete. It utilizes self-healing microcapsule particles to repair concrete cracks. The self-healing microcapsule particles consist of a core and a wall, and are uniformly mixed into the concrete. The core is a repair agent with crack repair function, such as epoxy resin, polyurethane, or cement-based repair materials. The wall is a polymer material with certain strength and toughness, such as urea-formaldehyde resin or melamine-formaldehyde resin. During the pouring of the base layer 6 concrete, as the concrete sets and hardens, the self-healing microcapsule particles are uniformly distributed within the base layer 6 concrete. When micro-cracks occur at the construction joint 3, the self-healing microcapsule particles rupture, initiating the repair process, effectively sealing the cracks, preventing further crack propagation, and improving the overall performance and service life of the concrete structure.

[0019] The concrete structure provided in this application can be applied to roadbeds or building slabs, including a subbase 7, a base course 6, and a surface course 5 distributed sequentially from bottom to top. The subbase 7 is crushed stone or gravel, the base course 6 is concrete mixed with self-healing microcapsule particles, and the surface course 5 is ordinary concrete. An automatic repair structure is set at the construction joint 3 of the pre-cast section 1 and the post-cast section 2 of the concrete structure. The automatic repair structure includes a waterstop 8, self-healing microcapsule particles, and a self-healing microcapsule belt 4. The waterstop 8 is set in the middle of the base course 6, horizontally distributed, and extends along the length of the construction joint 3, with its two sides extending into the pre-cast section 1 and the post-cast section 2 respectively. The waterstop 8 can form the first waterproof and crack-resistant line at the concrete construction joint 3, effectively blocking external liquids from penetrating through the construction joint 3. At the same time, it can play a certain restraining role on the deformation of the base course 6 concrete, reduce stress concentration at the construction joint 3, and delay the occurrence of cracks. The waterstop 8 can be made of existing materials with good water-stopping and deformation adaptability, such as rubber waterstop 8, plastic waterstop 8, or metal waterstop 8. Its length extending into the pre-cast section 1 and the post-cast section 2 is determined according to the thickness of the concrete structure and the engineering design requirements.

[0020] Self-healing microcapsule particles are mixed and distributed in the concrete corresponding to the base layer 6. The self-healing microcapsule particles are evenly mixed into the concrete mixture at a ratio of 1% to 5% of the concrete volume. The self-healing microcapsule band 4 is distributed at the junction of the base layer 6 and the surface layer 5 and extends along the length of the construction joint 3. The setting of the self-healing microcapsule band 4 can specifically strengthen and repair the micro-cracks at the junction of the base layer 6 and the surface layer 5 and at the construction joint 3, thereby further improving the overall crack resistance of the concrete structure.

[0021] In this embodiment, the self-healing microcapsule tape 4 includes a flexible tape and self-healing microcapsule particles. The flexible tape is made of the same material as the capsule wall material of the self-healing microcapsule particles. The self-healing microcapsule particles are adhered to the upper surface of the flexible tape, and the lower edge of the flexible tape is adhered to the upper surface of the base layer 6. The flexible tape provides a fixed carrier for the self-healing microcapsule particles, thereby facilitating the construction of the self-healing microcapsule particles along a preset route and ensuring the stability of the self-healing microcapsule particles during the construction process.

[0022] In this embodiment, the self-healing microcapsule tape 4 is bent in an S-shape along the length of the construction joint 3. Compared with a straight structure, this increases the repair area of ​​the self-healing microcapsule tape 4 along the length of the construction joint 3, allowing the self-healing microcapsule tape 4 to better fit the interface between the base layer 6 and the surface layer 5. This ensures that when cracks occur in the construction joint 3, the self-healing microcapsule particles can accurately release the repair agent to effectively repair the cracks.

[0023] The subbase 7 is provided with a reinforcing groove 9 corresponding to the construction joint 3. The concrete poured in the reinforcing groove 9 is the same as the concrete of the base layer 6. It is also a concrete mixed with self-healing microcapsule particles, thereby enhancing the structural strength and crack resistance of the subbase 7 at the construction joint 3. The cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing groove 9 can be designed as rectangular, trapezoidal, etc., according to the actual needs of the project.

[0024] Furthermore, to enhance the waterproofing performance of construction joint 3 and form multiple waterproofing lines to effectively prevent rainwater, groundwater, and other liquids from seeping into the concrete structure through construction joint 3, a waterproof membrane 10 corresponding to construction joint 3 is installed above the reinforcing groove 9. The waterproof membrane 10 can be a polymer-modified bitumen waterproof membrane 10 or a synthetic polymer waterproof membrane 10. The width of the waterproof membrane 10 is greater than the width of the reinforcing groove 9, thus corresponding vertically to the reinforcing groove 9 and ensuring complete coverage of the reinforcing groove 9 and the area of ​​construction joint 3 where leakage may occur.

[0025] The base layer 6 is equipped with a steel reinforcement cage, and the steel reinforcement cages of the cast-in-place section and the post-cast section 2 are interconnected. The steel reinforcement cage can enhance the load-bearing capacity and crack resistance of the concrete in the base layer 6. Through the tensile action of the steel reinforcement, the shrinkage deformation of the concrete is effectively constrained, and the generation of cracks at the construction joint 3 is reduced.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be within the scope of protection of the pending claims of the present utility model.
