Effect of GGBS on performance deterioration of non-dispersible underwater concrete in saline soil

Abstract

Abstract:

In saline soil areas, there are a large number of ions in soil or water environments, such as Cl^- and SO₄^2-, which have strong corrosive interactions with buildings. To study the deterioration of non-dispersible underwater concrete in sulfate, chloride, and mixed salt environments, the compressive strength and deterioration resistance coefficient of the studied concrete mixed with different amounts of ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) were analyzed in this paper. At the same time, the micro morphology and corrosion products distribution of the studied concrete were observed by means of SEM, plus XRD diffraction, TG-DTG and FT-IR analyses to explore the influence of corrosive solutions on the hydration products of concrete. We also analyzed the mechanism of improving the deterioration resistance of the studied concrete by adding GGBS in a saline soil environment. The results show that the compressive strength of the studied concrete in a chloride environment was close to that in a fresh water environment, which means that chloride has no adverse effect on compressive strength. The deterioration of the studied concrete was most serious in a sulfate environment, followed by mixed salt environment, and the lowest in a chloride environment. In addition, by adding GGBS, the compressive strength and deterioration resistance of the studied concrete could be effectively improved.
