Study on the deterioration characteristics of aeolian sand concrete under the coupling effect of multiple factors in harsh environments

Abstract

This study takes the aeolian sand concrete as a research object, uses the relative dynamic elastic modulus to study its macro characteristics, and combines nuclear magnetic resonance、scanning electron microscope to study its pore characteristics and micro morphology under the action of prestress, freeze-thaw and salt intrusion. The results show that with the increase of the amount of aeolian sand, the dynamic elastic modulus of aeolian sand concrete shows a pattern of first decreasing, then increasing, and then decreasing; when no prestress is applied, the porosity of aeolian sand concrete first increases, then decreases, and then continues to increase. Among them, the porosity of aeolian sand concrete with a 40% content of aeolian sand decreases by 0.06% compared to that with a 0% content of aeolian sand, and decreases by 0.003% compared to that with a 60% content of aeolian sand; with the increase of prestress, the porosity of aeolian sand concrete with the same amount of aeolian sand increases gradually with the increase of damage degree. The porosity of concrete with 40% aeolian sand content increases by 0.33% when the damage degree is 0.0 compared to 0.3, with a 6.31% increase in the number of multi damage pores; under the coupling effect of multiple factors, when the amount of aeolian sand is 40%, the damage degree of the four groups of aeolian sand concrete before and after the coupling effect is 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3, respectively, increases by 25.8%, 32.2%, 73.8%, and 85.8%, respectively; under the coupling effect of multiple factors, the content of aeolian sand is 60%, the damage degree is 0.2 and 0.3 groups, and the content of aeolian sand is 20%, the damage degree is 0.3 groups, which does not meet the standard requirements; under the coupling action of stress, freeze-thaw, salt intrusion and the amount of aeolian sand, the filling effect of aeolian sand on the internal pores of aeolian sand concrete decreases first, then increases, and then decreases with the increase of the amount of aeolian sand. The filling effect is further weakened after the action of stress. After the superposition of freeze-thaw and salt intrusion, the coupling effect of water and salt solution in frost heaving medium makes the variation law and range of physical and chemical characteristics of aeolian sand concrete show a great difference.
