Abstract
To study the influence of hydraulic pressure on pore structure evolution and chloride transport behavior in concrete, the mass transport depth, chloride concentration, and pore characteristics of specimens with different water-cement ratios were investigated using silver nitrate spraying, potentiometric titration, the mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) method, N2 adsorption method, and laser confocal microscopy. The results showed that chloride concentration increases as the hydraulic pressure and the water-cement ratio increase. As this hydraulic pressure increases, the difference between water and chloride ion transport distinctive characteristics becomes conspicuously pronounced, extending from 5.2 mm to 25.4 mm in distance. The hydraulic pressure changes the pore structure of the concrete, leading to a surge in the specific surface area, larger porosity, and average pore diameters. Notably, ink-bottle-type pores emerge prominently and the proportion of fine mesopores and capillary pores markedly rises after the application of hydraulic pressure. Furthermore, a relationship between chloride diffusion coefficient and hydraulic pressure is suggested. A relationship between the modified permeability coefficient and hydraulic pressure is constructed based on the mesoporous contribution β to express the hysteresis effect of chloride.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
