Protective Mechanism of Silane on Concrete upon Marine Exposure
Due to the high chloride ion concentration in marine environments, chloride ions can penetrate into concrete, along with the transportation of water molecules, and thus, cause rebar corrosion. This is an important reason for the decrease in the concrete durability. In this paper, by means of the sol...

Due to the high chloride ion concentration in marine environments, chloride ions can penetrate into concrete, along with the transportation of water molecules, and thus, cause rebar corrosion. This is an important reason for the decrease in the concrete durability. In this paper, by means of the sol−gel synthesis method, a silane emulsion, a silane compound emulsion, and silane compound gel were prepared by using isobutyl triethoxysilane and ethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as the main raw materials. These silane materials were coated on a concrete surface and then placed in the marine exposure sites of Wheat Island, in Qingdao, for one year. The results show that these silane materials can effectively inhibit the chloride ions transporting in concrete. Upon the increase of the exposure time, the protection ability of the silane emulsion declined gradually, while the silane compound emulsion had stable protective effects. In comparison with the permeability coefficient of chloride ions in the blank test block, the permeability coefficient of chloride ions in the test block coated with the silane emulsion, the composition of silane emulsion, and silane compound gel fell off around 20%, 30%, and 50%, respectively. The test results indicate that the three kinds of protective materials have good inhibition abilities against chloride ion transportation, on which the compound gel had the best effect. |
