Study on the deterioration performance of fiber-reinforced concrete in composite salt partial soaking environment

Abstract

Abstract: The durability of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) was studied with 3.5%NaCl+5%Na₂SO₄ composite solution as the erosion medium. Six groups of FRC specimens were designed to study the influence of steel fiber (SF) and polypropylene fiber (PF) single or mixed on the performance of concrete against partial immersion erosion by composite salt, using appearance morphology, erosion height, mass loss rate, relative dynamic modulus of elasticity and relative compressive strength as test indexes. The results showed that single doping PF or hybrid SF-PF decrease the rise height of the solution, while the addition of 1% SF increase the salt crystallization on the surface of the specimen and solution rise height. The mass loss rate of FRC decrease first and then increase with the increase of erosion age, while the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity and relative compressive strength show the opposite pattern. The compressive strength of the specimens with 1% SF decrease the least. According to the results of thermogravimetric analysis, the corrosion products generated in the concrete in the gas-liquid zone above the liquid level are mainly AFt and Friedel’s, and the addition of SF and PF have an inhibitory effect on the reduction of Ca(OH)₂.
