Study on Properties of High Performance Marine Concrete under Seawater Attack

Article Preview

Abstract:

Through artificial seawater simulation test this paper analyzed erosion mechanism of concrete corroded by the ions in seawater. High performance marine concrete was successful developed because of mineral admixture and corrosion-resistance additive double adding. The paper researched the durability of concrete containing freeze-thaw cycles and chloride ions diffusion. Modern testing technologies were used such as scanning electron microscopy and differential thermal analysis in the experiment. Research founded that the amount of unstable or metastable matter reduced such as calcium hydroxide and high alkaline calcium aluminates in the marine concrete. There were more compact hydration products created which made the structure stabler and denser. Those were the reasons that the marine concrete had excellent performances in terms of erosion-resistance and durability.
