Research on improving the durability performance of damaged concrete with mineral admixtures

Abstract

Concrete can be damaged under long‐term chloride ion action. This article uses mineral admixtures to repair the damaged concrete, and then conducts durability performance tests. Multi‐dimensional chloride ion diffusion tests were conducted under different salt solution immersion environments. The resistance of concrete to chloride ion corrosion was evaluated through RCM chloride ion penetration test, and the internal chloride ion concentration of concrete with different diffusion dimensions was detected through chemical titration analysis. Taking the SW test group as an example, after soaking for 3 months, the three‐dimensional diffusion chloride ion concentration of the SW test group is 2.55 times that of the one‐dimensional diffusion. Under the same three‐dimensional diffusion conditions, at a depth of 10 mm of concrete erosion, the chloride ion concentration of the SW test group after soaking for 3 months is 1.76 times that of the chloride ion concentration after soaking for 1 month. Experiments have shown that multi‐dimensional diffusion can significantly increase the concentration of chloride ions inside concrete, and this effect becomes more pronounced with the increase of erosion time and dimension.
