This article focuses on the effect of freeze–thaw cycling on a cement-based early-strength anchor material, the compressive strength of which at 24 h is 14 times that of ordinary cement, and the compressive strength at 7 h is twice that of ordinary cement. The setting time required to achieve the expected strength is 1/7 of that of ordinary cement. Through indoor freeze–thaw cycling tests, the appearance changes, quality loss, strength loss, and microstructure changes in the early-strength anchor after 0, 5, 15, 25, 50, 75, and 100 cycles were studied, revealing the evolution of the mechanical properties and micromechanisms of the cement-based early-strength anchor material under freeze–thaw cycling conditions. The sample freeze–thaw failure criteria were determined, evaluation indicators reflecting the degree of damage were defined, and their relationships with the number of freeze–thaw cycles were fitted to assess the durability of the cement-based early-strength anchor material under freeze–thaw environments. This provides a theoretical reference for further improvements in material properties and adaption to different environments.
To achieve the efficient, rapid construction of prestressed anchor cables, in this study, through an indoor pull-out test and field basic test, we investigated the mechanical behavior, expansion, drawing performance and bond properties of a new type of high-strength, fast anchorage agent. We analyzed the influence of the water material ratio and curing time on its performance and determined the corresponding construction. It was found that the new anchoring agent could be effectively applied in field construction and achieved a compressive strength of 30 MPa within 30 h. Moreover, during the solidification process, the hydration reaction node could be reached within 5–6 h when the material expansion was and the feedback to the water–material ratio were the strongest. In addition, in the drawing process, the anchorage agent exhibited a strong bond with the reinforcement and the rock layer, and the bonding of the anchorage agent to the rock layer was greater than that of the steel bar. Therefore, in order to provide anchorage, it is necessary to increase the contact area between the steel strand and the anchorage agent.
