Description

CORROSION-DRIVEN INTELLIGENT FIBER, PREPARATION METHOD AND APPLICATION THEREOF
BACKGROUND
Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a corrosion-driven intelligent fiber, a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of civil engineering. Description of Related Art [0002] Concrete materials are now the most widely used artificial building materials in the world. However, due to the shortcomings such as brittleness, low tensile strength and low ultimate elongation, the concrete materials are prone to cracks and local damage in the use process and under the influence of surrounding environment. Corrosive media such as air, water and chloride ions invade the interior of a structure along the cracks to corrode steel bars, which shortens the service life of the engineering structure and endangers the safety of the structure. With the continuous innovation of engineering construction technology, hydraulic dams, railway engineering, highway bridges, ports and marine engineering, tunnels and mine engineering, pipeline engineering, nuclear power engineering, etc. put forward higher requirements for the performance of concrete, so fiber reinforced concrete emerged. With the use of fibers, the development of cracks is inhibited, and the crack resistance, toughness, impermeability and the like of the concrete are improved.
[0003] However, due to the low elongation and low tensile strength defects of concrete, it is difficult to solve the problems of brittleness and cracking even with high-strength and high-elastic modulus fibers such as carbon fibers and steel fibers, and the low-modulus organic fibers are more difficult in solving such problems. When a concrete structure
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU generates cracks under the influence of temperature and humidity changes, uneven settlement and external load, the fibers produce stress that is far less than their own strength, and with the increase of cracking stress, micro cracks further increase and widen. Accordingly, the fiber input can only improve the crack resistance of concrete and reduce the crack width within a small cracking stress range. In addition, once the cracks occur, the fibers cannot repair and heal the cracks. If the cracks cannot be healed in time, the original micro cracks develop into macro cracks. Corrosive media enter the interior of the concrete through the cracks to quickly rust the steel bars, thereby affecting the safety and service life of the structure.
[0004] The repair of concrete cracks has always been a hotspot of concern and research in the academic and engineering circles. Once concrete cracks occur, it is not only technically demanding but also difficult to implement and cumbersome to operate by only human inspection and repair. Therefore, self-repairing concrete has emerged. Throughout the reports on self-repairing methods of cement concrete at home and abroad, there are currently three main categories:
[0005] 1.1 Crystal deposition:
[0006] According to the repair mechanism, the method contains three methods: mineral crystal deposition, cement-based permeable crystallization, and microbial crystallization. [0007] (1) Mineral crystal deposition [0008] Mechanism: One of the factors of crack repair in crystal deposition is to repair cracks by means of deposition of hydration products generated by continued hydration of fissure water, unhydrated cement particles and other mineral additives (e.g., C3S, C2S, etc.), but the repair effect is minimal, where the dominant factor is to block and heal cracks by deposition of CaCO, crystal generated by water-soluble CO2 and slightly soluble Ca(OH)2.
[0009] Problems in mineral crystal deposition: the healing function of the method is greatly
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU affected by the age of concrete, the size, quantity and distribution of cracks, and the specific environment, the healing period is long, the healing function of the concrete at the later age is basically lost, and the cracks having the widths of more than 0.15 mm are basically difficult to heal.
[0010] (2) Cement-based permeable crystallization [0011] Mechanism: The cement-based permeable crystallization material is composed of ordinary Portland cement, quartz sand, and chemical composites with active functional groups. When the concrete added with the permeable crystallization material is dried, the active functional groups are dormant. When the concrete cracks, water permeates. When the Ca2+ concentration at the cracks decreases to a certain extent, the active functional groups undergo condensation polymerization to form new crystals, and the cracks are quickly and automatically filled and repaired.
[0012] Problems in cement-based permeable crystallization: the self-repairing widths of cracks are limited, and the repair effect on the cracks having the widths of more than 0.4 mm is poor.
[0013] (3) Microbial crystallization [0014] Mechanism: The microbial repair technology is to add specific harmless bacteria (aerobic basophilic bacilli) into the concrete material, where the non-destructive concrete has a high-alkali anoxic environment inside, and the bacteria are dormant. When the concrete structure is damaged and cracked, oxygen and water permeate to activate bacterial spores, and CO2 generated in the metabolism process reacts with Ca2+ in the concrete material to generate calcium carbonate crystals to fill and repair the cracks.
[0015] Problems in microbial crystallization: The width range of self-healing cracks is limited, and only cracks less than 0.5 mm can be repaired; the bacteria have certain
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU requirements for the operating environment and temperature, and have short service time and life span (about one year).
[0016] 1.2 Repair agent filling [0017] The method is applied to intelligent bionic self-healing concrete, and is divided into a microcapsule method and a hollow fiber (hollow optical fiber or hollow fiber) method according to the type of the repair agent carrier.
[0018] The two have similar repair mechanisms: Microcapsules/hollow fibers loaded with a repair adhesive are implanted into concrete. When the concrete structure is damaged and produces micro cracks during service and use, the microcapsules/hollow fibers break at the cracks, and the repair agent permeates the cracks from the breaches, contacts the catalyst dispersed in the concrete, and solidifies to quickly block the cracks so as to realize self-repair.
[0019] Problems in repair agent filling: The method involves a very complicated repair system, and the repair agent covers organic synthesis, polymer chemistry, fine chemicals, microcapsule/hollow fiber technology, implant technology and the like, is still in the experimental research stage, and has quite a lot of problems to be solved, mainly including: φ the quantity of carriers: too many carriers affect the strength of the concrete itself, and too few carriers are not enough to fill the cracks; (2) the fracture strain of carriers: if the fracture strain is too large, the carriers are unlikely to tear, and the adhesive cannot flow out in time; if the fracture strain is too small, the carriers are easily broken during stirring, causing the adhesive to flow out in advance; (3) compatibility among the concrete matrix, the repair agent carrier and the adhesive, long-term stability of the repair agent, fluidity at the cracks, curing timeliness, etc.;
[0020] 1.3 Shape memory alloy driven closure (SMA)
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU [0021] The method emerged with the repair agent filling method. In order to achieve the desired self-healing effect, the crack width of concrete has to be controlled. Otherwise, a large amount of repair carriers is required, which will affect the performance of the concrete. In addition, when the cracks of concrete are too wide, the capillary suction is reduced, the cracks above fiber tubes are difficult in absorbing glue, the glue flows down along the cracks under the action of gravity, and a little glue remains on the crack surface, so the repair effect is poor. To achieve the desired self-healing effect, the crack width of concrete has to be controlled. The existing intelligent materials that can sense external stimuli, deform actively and provide driving force, i.e., shape memory materials, mainly include shape memory alloys and shape memory polymers, wherein the memory polymer alloys with low deformation recovery force are not suitable for self-healing drive, and the shape memory alloys with high strength and large recovery force can achieve self-healing drive.
[0022] Mechanism: The SMA method stimulates the shrinkage deformation of shape memory alloy wires embedded in the concrete by electric heating to provide a driving force for the closure of cracks. The method actively adjusts the crack width by applying pre-stress to the structure, which cannot be implemented by the above several methods.
[0023] Problems in shape memory alloy driven closure: Since the shape memory alloys are thermotropic deformation materials, electric heating is required to stimulate the shrinkage of alloy wires, a series of supporting equipment is required to drive crack closure, and the whole driving and control system is complicated and cumbersome. Since the resistance of the SMA materials themselves is low, the electric heating has high requirements for current, power and wires. The heating temperature has a great influence on the shape recovery of SMA and the mechanical properties of concrete. Due to the heat conduction of concrete, the temperature control of SMA is technically difficult. If the temperature is too low, SMA is difficult to drive.
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU
If the temperature rises too high and unevenly, temperature cracks reappear in the concrete. In addition, a large amount of SMA is required to drive crack closure to realize self-repair, and SMA is expensive and is 700 times the price of ordinary steel, which is enough to suppress the application of SMA in concrete.
[0024] Based on the above, in order to reduce the economic loss and safety threat of concrete structures due to crack defects, it is urgent to repair the crack defects of concrete. In the current repair method, the cement-based permeable crystallization materials are relatively successful intelligent repair materials, but the repair effect is limited by crack width. Other methods are basically stuck in the experimental exploration stage due to the complexity of the repair mechanism, or the repair effect is poor. Therefore, in order to achieve the desired self-healing effect, it is very important to control the crack width of concrete.

[0043] According to the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber of the present invention, the corrodible coating is made of iron metal or iron alloy, the core fiber is a steel fiber, the corrosion-resistant coating is made of copper metal or copper alloy.
[0044] The present invention provides a preparation method of the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber, including: applying a tensile force to a core fiber or a core fiber with a corrosion-resistant coating; then preparing a corrodible coating on a set region of the surface of the core fiber; and removing the tensile force to obtain a sample; wherein the applied tensile force is 10% to 90% of the bearing capacity of the core fiber or the core fiber with the corrosion-resistant coating. The core fiber with the corrosion-resistant coating described in the preparation method includes at least two cases: the surface of the core fiber is uniformly coated with the corrosion-resistant coating in the first case, and the set region of the surface of the core fiber is coated with the corrosion-resistant coating in the second case. For industrial

[0045] When the corrodible coating needs to be partially coated with the corrosion-resistant coating, the corrosion-resistant coating is directly prepared at a set position of the surface of the sample.
[0046] According to the preparation method of the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber of the present invention, in the entire corrosion-driven intelligent fiber, in order to maximize the pre-stress applied to the matrix by the intelligent fiber, the optimized acquisition method is:
[0047] in a case where the cross sectional area of the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber is definite, [0048] the pre-stress stored by the intelligent fiber is closely related to the volume fraction Ff of the core fiber, and the axial force F stored by the core fiber is:

[0057] An application of the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber according to the present invention includes use of the fiber in concrete or in a fiber reinforced resin composite.
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU [0058] According to the application of the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber of the present invention, when the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber is used in concrete, the corrosion driving condition is the use environment of the concrete. In the use environment of the concrete, H2O/O2, Cl’, SO42· and the like are main corrosive media, or acidic corrosive substances are main corrosive media, and these corrosive media are one of the prerequisites that drive the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber to show intelligence. When applied in industry or engineering, the materials of the core fiber, the corrosion-resistant coating and the corrodible coating of the intelligent fiber are further adjusted according to the service environment of the concrete.
[0059] According to the application of the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber of the present invention, the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber is anchored in the concrete. The anchoring means may be at least one of bond anchoring and/or mechanical anchoring.
[0060] According to the application of the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber of the present invention, 0.01-20v% of the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber is used in the concrete.
[0061] According to the application of the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber of the present invention, the material of the corrodible coating is preferably a corrodible iron metal material (such as elemental iron, low carbon iron, iron alloy, etc.), an iron-based metal material that is doped with harmful substances (harmful trace elements such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and silicon) and is prone to electrochemical corrosion, or an alloy prone to intergranular corrosion.
[0062] The corrodible coating of the present invention may be composed of a single-layer material, a multi-layer material or a functionally graded material.
[0063] The cross section of the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber according to the present invention may be a circular, polygonal, or special-shaped cross section (including
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU trough-shaped, cross, //-shaped, trilobal, quincuncial or star), the axial linear shape may be wavy, and the surface may be indented or ribbed.
[0064] The corrosion-driven intelligent fiber of the present invention may be composed of a single fiber or a stranded fiber obtained by twisting and stranding a plurality of fibers.
[0065] The core fiber in the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber of the present invention may be composed of a single fiber or a stranded fiber obtained by twisting and stranding a plurality of fibers.
[0066] The corrosion-driven intelligent fiber of the present invention forms an anchor end in a target body, and the anchor end is in a fully plated end hook shape, a bare end straight hook shape, a bare end bent hook shape, an end pier head anchor shape, or an end flat head anchor shape.

[0068] In the present invention, all or part of the coating may be multi-layer or a composite coating.
[0069] In order to prevent the core fiber from losing an anchoring force transfer point to the concrete at the time of complete corrosion of the corrodible coating so that the force of the core fiber acting on the concrete fails, and in order to maintain the force of the core fiber permanently effective, an anchor end is preferably provided at the end portion of the fiber, or anchor points are provided at a plurality of sites of the longer intelligent fiber, as shown in FIG. 7.
[0070] According to the application of the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber of the present invention, when the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber is used in concrete, the construction and
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU maintenance of the concrete are identical to those of the existing concrete.
[0071] Principles and advantages [0072] The present invention firstly proposes to add core fibers with corrodible coatings to concrete; through the anchoring effect of the concrete, the early corrosion resistance and cracking resistance of the concrete are equivalent to those of the existing concrete during use; once the core fibers with the corrodible coatings begin to corrode, the core fibers exhibit a function of gradually repairing the produced cracks until the cracks are completely closed; and this greatly prolongs the service life of the concrete. The addition of the core fibers with the corrodible coatings to the concrete can also reduce the early cracking probability of the concrete, improves the mechanical properties, durability and use safety of the concrete structure, and helps a lot to improve the crack resistance of a low-modulus polymer fiber concrete member.
[0073] The present invention proposes a corrosion-driven intelligent fiber and self-healing concrete. According to the principle, the surface of a pre-tensioned core fiber is coated with a corrodible coating to prepare a intelligent fiber (in which the core fiber is not easily corroded, but the corrodible coating is easily corroded), the shape recovery of the intelligent fiber is stimulated by corrosion of corrosive media in the environment, pre-stress is applied to the concrete to provide power for the crack closure of the concrete, larger pre-stress is applied when the corrosion of the corrodible coating is more severe, and the cracks are healed when the pre-stress is large enough. The application of pre-stress can improve the mechanical properties, durability and use safety of the concrete structure, provides a new design idea for shape memory materials, and provides a new concept for self-repairing and self-healing of composite materials such as concrete.
[0074] The present invention provides a corrosion-driven shape memory functional fiber.
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU
Shrinkage deformation of the intelligent fiber is driven by corrosive media entering the concrete in the environment, pre-stress is applied to the concrete to mechanically close concrete cracks, a new method is provided for intelligent self-healing of the concrete, and a new thought is provided for applying pre-stress to any position or any direction in concrete materials.
[0075] Preparation of corrosion-driven intelligent fiber and basic principle of self-healing concrete according to the prevent invention [0076] Preparation method [0077] The corrosion-driven intelligent fiber (referred to as intelligent fiber in the present invention) is composed of a core fiber and a corrodible coating, wherein the core fiber is composed of a corrosion-resistant material or a material coated with a corrosion-resistant coating, and the corrodible coating is composed of a material that is easily corroded by corrosive media in the environment. The preparation method of the intelligent fiber is as shown in FIG. 1A to ID, and the preparation steps are sequentially performed from FIG. 1A to ID.
[0078] In FIG. 1A to ID, a indicates that the core fiber is in an unstressed state; b indicates that the core fiber is pre-tensioned in an elastic range, and the tensile stress is cro ; c indicates that the surface of the core fiber is uniformly coated with a corrodible coating by deposition, spraying or electroplating or the like when the tensile stress cro is constant, and the corrodible coating is in an unstressed state; d indicates that the tensile force is removed after the coating is completed. It is assumed that the core fiber is well bonded to the corrodible coating. In the process of removal, the corrodible coating is axially shrunk under the elastic recovery force of the core fiber to produce compressive stress erf , a tensile-compressive
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU equilibrium is finally established between the two, the corrodible coating stores pre-compression stress and corresponding pre-compression strain, and the core fiber stores pre-tension stress and corresponding pre-tension strain.
[0079] Shape recovery mechanism [0080] The shape recovery mechanism of the intelligent fiber is as shown in FIG. 2A to 2C. In the corrosive medium environment, when the corrodible coating is corroded and the cross section is lost, the intelligent fiber begins to recover, and the recovery flow proceeds sequentially from FIG. 2A to 2C. FIG. 2A shows that the intelligent fiber is not corroded, and the core fiber and the corrodible coating are in an original equilibrium state; FIG. 2B shows that in the corrosive medium environment, the corrodible coating is first in contact with corrosive media and corroded to generate a load-unbearable corrosion product, the cross section and strength of the core fiber with strong corrosion resistance are not lost, and because the effective force section of the corrodible coating after corrosion is thinned, the compressive stress and compressive deformation of the remaining corrodible coating increase constantly under the elastic recovery force of the core fiber, and then the core fiber shrinks and gradually approaches the initial length; FIG. 2C shows, after the corrodible coating is corroded thoroughly, the core fiber recovers to the original length to complete a single memory effect, and the core fiber at this time is in an unstressed state.
[0081] Therefore, the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber needs to satisfy two basic conditions for the shape memory function:
[0082] 1. The core fiber axially stores pre-tension strain, the corrodible coating stores pre-compression strain, and the two are in a tensile-compressive equilibrium state;
[0083] 2. The corrodible coating is composed of a material that is easily corroded by corrosive media in the environment, while the core fiber is composed of a corrosion-resistant
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU material or a material coated with a corrosion-resistant coating.
[0084] Basic principle of self-healing concrete [0085] Basic condition and principle of pre-stress application by the intelligent fiber [0086] The concrete structure cracks due to the factors such as temperature, humidity and external force. The intelligent fiber at the crack defect is corroded by corrosive media in the environment, and its shape recovery is stimulated. Pre-pressure is applied to the concrete to provide power for crack closure. The principle of self-healing of the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber is shown in FIG. 3A to 3C, and the self-healing process proceeds sequentially from FIG. 3A to 3C. FIG. 3A shows cracks in the concrete, but the intelligent fiber is not corroded and is in a stable state. FIG. 3B shows that the corrodible coating at the cracks chemically or electrochemically reacts with the corrosive media, the intelligent fiber is stimulated to shrink and transfers load through a bonding region (the bonding anchor interface between the corrodible coating temporarily not corroded and the concrete) to apply pre-pressure to the concrete. If the degree of corrosion of the corrodible coating is higher, the closing force is larger, and the crack width is smaller. As shown in FIG. 3C, after the corrodible coating is corroded to a certain extent, when the closing force acting on the crack surface is large enough, the cracks are closed, the corrosive media are cut into the inner passage, the corrosion is stopped, and the self-healing protection function is realized. At this time, the shrinkage force and pre-pressure of the core fiber stop increasing.
[0087] However, if there are defects such as holes, the corrosive media may still enter the inside of the material to continue to corrode the intelligent fiber, the bonding anchor interface between the corrodible coating and the concrete continuously decreases, and the pre-pressure and pre-stress regions of the concrete continuously increase. When the anchor interface is insufficient to bear the drawing force caused by the shrinkage of the intelligent fiber, the
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU intelligent fiber is pulled out, and the application of pre-stress fails. Alternatively, when the crack is close to the end portion of the intelligent fiber, the surface of the corrodible coating at the end region is corroded, and the end anchorage fails, so that the intelligent fiber cannot effectively pre-stress the concrete, and the crack is expanded again.
[0088] In order to pre-stress the concrete more effectively by the intelligent fiber, a reliable anchor end is preferably reserved at the end portion of the intelligent fiber, as shown in FIG. 3A to 3C, uncoated bare ends are reserved at two ends of the core fiber, or end hooks are reserved at two ends to ensure the reliability of the anchor end. Whether the crack is distributed at the end portion of the fiber or the corrodible coating is completely corroded, the fiber is unlikely to pull out in the presence of the reliable anchor end, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the pre-stress and improving the crack resistance of the concrete.
[0089] Theoretical calculation of internal force of intelligent fiber and concrete [0090] Theoretical calculation of internal force of intelligent fiber [0091] Basic assumption [0092] Since the intelligent fiber is a unidirectional composite material having a large enough slenderness ratio, in order to simplify the calculation of internal force of the intelligent fiber, the following assumptions may be made:
[0093] 1) The corrodible coating is evenly coated on the core fiber;
[0094] 2) The core fiber and the corrodible coating are well bonded at the interface and the two have good chemical compatibility;
[0095] 3) The influence of transverse strain of the core fiber and the corrodible coating is ignored and not incorporated into the Poisson's ratio in formula derivation;
[0096] 4) The force of the core fiber and the corrodible coating is in a linear elastic state;
[0097] 5) The structural unit is pulled positive and compressed negative.
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU [0098] Formula derivation of internal force of intelligent fiber [0099] As shown in FIG. 4A to 4D, it is assembled that the original length of the core fiber is I, the core fiber is tensioned, the tensile stress is σο, and the elongation is AXj. The length of the deposited coating is I + AXj, and the tensile force of the core fiber is removed.
Due to the recovery force of the core fiber, the compressive deformation of the coating is

[00130] Calculation of internal force of intelligent fiber concrete [00131] In order to ensure that the intelligent fiber can continue to function under complicated conditions, the intelligent fiber reserved with the permanent anchor end is added into the concrete, and the pre-stress of the concrete is predicted when the shape of the intelligent fiber is recovered. The permanent anchor end involves the following two cases: [00132] In the first case, the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber is composed of a core fiber and a corrodible coating; the surface of the core fiber is partially not coated with the corrodible coating, the core fiber is located in the concrete, the portion of the core fiber not coated with the corrodible coating is a permanent anchor end, and the length of any permanent anchor end is defined as Γ ;
[00133] In the second case, the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber is composed of a core fiber, a corrodible coating, and a corrosion-resistant coating; the permanent anchor end is a portion where the surface of the core fiber is coated with the corrodible coating and the corrodible coating is coated with the corrosion-resistant coating; at the same time, the core fiber is located in the concrete, wherein the length of any permanent anchor end is defined as /;
[00134] In order to simplify the calculation, the influence of the Poisson's ratio on the magnitude of the axial stress is disregarded.
[00135] Basic assumption
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU [00136] In order to simplify the calculation of interaction between the intelligent fiber and the concrete, the following assumptions are made:
[00137] 1) The intelligent fiber is unidirectionally and uniformly arranged in a concrete member;
[00138] 2) The influence of the Poisson's ratio on the axial stress is disregarded;
[00139] 3) The permanent anchor end is tightly bonded with the concrete without slippage;
[00140] 4) The force influence of the corrosion product of the corrodible coating is disregarded;
[00141] Pre-pressure of concrete [00142] After the cross section of the corrodible coating is completely lost, because the corrosion product does not participate in the force, the core fiber and the concrete establish a final tensile-compressive equilibrium, and the pre-stress applied to the concrete by the shrinkage of the core fiber is maximum. According to formula (9), it can be known that the pre-compression stress applied to the concrete by the shrinkage of the core fiber is:
E σΡ ,η^~νΛ f m E2 EfVn+EmVm (17) [00143] The tensile stress of the core fiber is:
p _ ΕιηΥιησ'’ (T 7 -1 -71 Ε,ν,,+Ε,,^ (18) [00144] In order that the permanent anchor end is reliable without slipping, a sufficient length is required. It is assumed that the bonding anchoring force of the permanent anchor end
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU is Ta = τπάΓ , and the drawing force of the intelligent fiber is Tt = σο —πά2. According to the equilibrium between the bonding anchoring force of the permanent anchor end and the drawing force of the intelligent fiber, Ta = Tt, i.e·, τπάΓ=σfi ~^d2, it is obtained:

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS [00160] Basic material parameters [00161] According to the above calculation formula of internal force, the core fiber of the intelligent fiber is a copper-plated steel fiber (diameter 0.2 mm, regardless of copper plating
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU amount), and the corrodible coating is made of metal iron. When the cross sectional areas of the core fiber and the corrodible coating are 1: 1, the pre-stress storage of the intelligent fiber is maximum. The amount of intelligent fibers in concrete is 4v%, and the basic parameters of the intelligent fibers and the concrete are shown in Table 1.

[00163] Axial stress of concrete when the pre-stress is completely released:
[00164] It is assumed that the intelligent fiber is unidirectionally and uniformly arranged in the concrete, the cross section of the corrodible coating is lost, and the pre-stress applied to 10 the concrete by the shape recovery of the intelligent fiber is maximum.
[00165] Stress stored by the core fiber:

200x 103 x 50%+200x 103 x 50% =500 (MPa) [00166] Pre-stress applied to the concrete by the shrinkage of the core fiber is:
=__35x 103 x 2%x 500____=_9J
200 x 103 x 2%+35x 103 x 96% [00167] From the above calculation results, it can be known that the maximum pre-compression stress released to the concrete by 4% of intelligent fibers is 9.3 MPa. If the volume fraction of the intelligent fiber and the initial tensile force of the core fiber continue to increase, the pre-stress applied to the concrete continues to increase.
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU [00168] As shown in FIG. 5, when the volume fraction Vs of the intelligent fiber and the initial tensile force σ0 of the core fiber continuously increase, the pre-compression stress of the matrix also continuously increases. Therefore, the magnitude of pre-stress can be controlled by the initial tensile stress and volume fraction of the intelligent fiber. The application of pre-stress is beneficial to crack closure of concrete, reduction of stress concentration, increase of rigidity, improvement of corrosion resistance, and improvement of toughness. The presence of pre-stress is highly helpful for the crack resistance of concrete members, especially low-modulus polymer fiber concrete members.
[00169] According to the above design and calculation, the following concrete samples are prepared:
[00170] Embodiment 1 [00171] As shown in FIG. 8, the characteristics of the concrete sample are as follows. The concrete sample is 200 mm x 20 mm x 40 mm (length x width x height), and is divided into two parts A and B by a piece of absorbent cotton paper perpendicular to the length of the sample and having a thickness of 0.3 mm. The absorbent cotton paper simulates the sample to penetrate through a crack to form a corrosive medium passage. The two parts A and B of the sample are connected by 20 shape memory steel fibers having a length of 180 mm and a diameter of 0.28 mm. The core fiber of each intelligent fiber is a copper-plated steel fiber having a diameter of 0.2 mm and strength of 3000 MPa, the initial tensile stress of the core fiber is 2000 MPa, and the corrodible coating is made of an electroplated iron metal having a thickness of 0.04 mm. The 20 fibers are arranged side by side and vertically penetrate through the absorbent cotton paper, and the middle section of each fiber is wrapped with absorbent cotton paper having a length of 50 mm and a thickness of 0.2 mm as a water absorbing
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU passage to increase the corrosion rate of the corrodible coating of the intelligent fiber and accelerate the recovery of the shape intelligent fiber.
[00172] The sample was immersed in a 6 wt% sodium chloride solution, a small amount of brown rust was found at the crack after 48 hours, and the crack was found to be narrowed after measurement; the rust on the absorbent cotton paper between the two parts A and B of the sample was cleaned, then the sample was continuously immersed in the sodium chloride solution for 48 hours, it was found that the brown rust oozing out from the cotton paper at the crack was less than the last time, and the crack was further narrowed after measurement; after the sample was continuously immersed for 15 days, no brown rust was found to ooze out from the crack, and the crack was basically closed. It shows that the corrosion-driven intelligent steel fibers are electrochemically corroded in the sodium chloride solution (the iron coating is rusted), the shapes of the intelligent fibers are recovered by means of the electrochemical corrosion, and the generated recovery force causes the parts A and B of the sample to approach each other, and squeezes the corrosive medium passage - absorbent cotton paper to become thinner so as to reduce the fluidity of the absorbent cotton paper. When the iron coating of the intelligent fibers is rusted more seriously, the recovery force of the intelligent fibers is larger, the absorbent cotton paper is finally squeezed to no longer have fluidity, the penetrating crack is closed, and the corrosive medium cannot enter the inside of the sample to form self-healing.
[00173] Comparative Example 1 [00174] The characteristics and preparation method of the concrete sample of Comparative Example 1 are substantially the same as those of Embodiment 1. The difference lies in that a 0.04 mm thick iron coating is electroplated when the core fibers of the 20 steel fibers for connecting the two parts A and B of the sample have an initial tensile stress of 0 MPa, that is,
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU in the absence of tensile force.
[00175] The sample of Comparative Example 1 was immersed in a 6 wt% sodium chloride solution, a small amount of brown rust was found at the crack after 48 hours, and no change in crack width was found after measurement; the rust on the absorbent cotton paper between the two parts A and B of the sample was cleaned, then the sample was continuously immersed in the sodium chloride solution for 48 hours, brown rust was found to ooze out from the cotton paper at the crack, and the crack was not narrowed after measurement; after the sample was continuously immersed for 15 days, brown rust was still found to ooze out from the crack, and the width of the crack basically did not change. The experimental results show that the 20 steel fibers do not have a shape memory function, and the penetrating crack formed by the absorbent cotton paper cannot be closed, indicating that the steel fibers prepared by electroplating the iron coating in the absence of tension do not have the memory function and cannot heal concrete cracks.
[00176] Comparative Example 2 [00177] The characteristics and preparation method of the concrete sample of Comparative Example 2 are substantially the same as those of Embodiment 1. The difference lies in that a 0.04 mm thick copper coating is electroplated when the core fibers of the 20 steel fibers for connecting the two parts A and B of the sample have an initial tensile stress of 0 MPa, that is, in the absence of tensile force.
[00178] The sample of Comparative Example 2 was immersed in a 6 wt% sodium chloride solution, no abnormal change was found at the crack after 48 hours, and the width of the crack was kept unchangeable; after the sample was continuously immersed in the sodium chloride solution for 48 hours, no brown rust was oozed, and the width of the crack was kept unchangeable; after the sample was continuously immersed for 15 days, the crack still did not
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU change, and the width of the crack was kept unchangeable. The experimental results show that the 20 steel fibers do not have a shape memory function, and the penetrating crack formed by the absorbent cotton paper cannot be closed, indicating that the steel fibers prepared by electroplating the copper coating do not have the memory function and cannot heal concrete cracks.
[00179] Comparative Example 3 [00180] The characteristics and preparation method of the concrete sample of Comparative Example 3 are substantially the same as those of Embodiment 1. The difference lies in that a 0.04 mm thick copper coating is electroplated when the core fibers of the 20 steel fibers for connecting the two parts A and B of the sample have an initial tensile stress of 2000 MPa, that is, in the presence of tensile force.
[00181] The sample of Comparative Example 3 was immersed in a 6 wt% sodium chloride solution, no abnormal change was found at the crack after 48 hours, and the width of the crack was kept unchangeable; after the sample was continuously immersed in the sodium chloride solution for 48 hours, no brown rust was oozed, and the width of the crack was kept unchangeable; after the sample was continuously immersed for 15 days, the crack still did not change, and the width of the crack was kept unchangeable. The experimental results show that the 20 steel fibers do not have a shape memory function, and the penetrating crack formed by the absorbent cotton paper cannot be closed, indicating that the steel fibers prepared by electroplating the copper coating in the presence of tension do not have the memory function and cannot heal concrete cracks.
[00182] Embodiment 2 [00183] The characteristics and preparation method of the concrete sample of Embodiment 2 are substantially the same as those of Embodiment 1. The difference lies in that the core fibers
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU of the 20 steel fibers for connecting the two parts A and B of the sample are steel fibers not protected by copper plating, and the other situation is the same as that of Embodiment 1. [00184] The sample was immersed in a 6 wt% sodium chloride solution, a small amount of brown rust was found at the crack after 48 hours, and the crack was found to be narrowed after measurement; the rust on the absorbent cotton paper between the two parts A and B of the sample was cleaned, then the sample was continuously immersed in the sodium chloride solution for 48 hours, it was found that the brown rust oozing out from the cotton paper at the crack was less than the last time, and the crack was further narrowed after measurement; after the sample was continuously immersed for 15 days, the crack was expanded, the wideset portion of the crack was 0.5 mm, the crack was 0.2 mm wider than the initial crack, and five steel fibers were broken. The experimental results show that although the 20 steel fibers have a shape memory function, since the surfaces of the core fibers are not plated with copper, the core fibers are electrochemically corroded and broken, the penetrating crack formed by the absorbent cotton paper is expanded, and the steel fibers cannot continue to provide a closing force for healing of concrete cracks.
[00185] Embodiment 3 [00186] The characteristics and preparation method of the concrete sample of Embodiment 3 are substantially the same as those of Embodiment 1. The difference lies in that the core fibers of the 20 steel fibers for connecting the two parts A and B of the sample have an initial tensile stress of 1500 MPa during preparation, and the other situation is the same as that of Embodiment 1.
[00187] The sample was immersed in a 6 wt% sodium chloride solution, and the test results were substantially the same as those in Embodiment 1 under the condition that the test conditions were identical to those in Embodiment 1.
11983921_1 (GHMatters) P112754.AU [00188] The present invention also attempted to design other core materials (such as mineral fiber, carbon fiber, glass fiber, basalt fiber, ceramic fiber, and other metal fiber) and other corrodible coatings, and has achieved good results.
[00189] Based on the above, the corrosion-driven intelligent fiber designed and prepared in the present invention exhibits an excellent memory function under corrosive conditions, and exhibits an excellent crack closure function or a crack self-healing function when applied to concrete.
