Abstract
Repairing concrete cracks is crucial for enhancing the safety and durability of concrete structures. However, current repair technologies face limitations in corrosive environments such as marine settings. This study presents a novel corrosion-induced shape-memory fiber (CSF) based on the concept of corrosion-induced intelligent fiber (CIF). The CSF1 was made by coating elongated spandex-covered yarn with polyvinyl alcohol, and the CSF2 was prepared by winding stretched nylon fiber with iron wire. Experimental results demonstrate that CSF1 specimens can rapidly heal a 10 mm wide crack within two seconds when exposed to water, while CSF2 specimens exhibit obvious shape recovery when exposed to seawater. Moreover, under midspan loads, pre-cracked CSF2-acrylic plate specimens achieve effective crack closure in seawater. These findings confirm the successful transfer of prestress from CSFs to the matrix, thereby validating the feasibility of CIF-based crack repair theory. This research provides experimental evidence for designing and optimizing self-repairing composite materials tailored for various corrosive environments and engineering applications.
期刊介绍:
Construction and Building Materials offers an international platform for sharing innovative and original research and development in the realm of construction and building materials, along with their practical applications in new projects and repair practices. The journal publishes a diverse array of pioneering research and application papers, detailing laboratory investigations and, to a limited extent, numerical analyses or reports on full-scale projects. Multi-part papers are discouraged.
Additionally, Construction and Building Materials features comprehensive case studies and insightful review articles that contribute to new insights in the field. Our focus is on papers related to construction materials, excluding those on structural engineering, geotechnics, and unbound highway layers. Covered materials and technologies encompass cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials, and applications in railway materials.
