The concrete roadside structures in Xinjiang, China, such as roadside barriers, bridge rails, and drainage holes, are severely damaged by the coupled effect of seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and deicer salts. To solve the corrosion problems of roadside structures, polymer-modified concrete was recommended for the future construction of roadside structures and polymer-modified cementitious coating was suggested for the protection of the current corroded ones. In this study, air-entraining agent and carboxylated styrene-butadiene latex were added for concrete modification and the corresponding performance tests were conducted. In addition, the performances of six types of readily available coating materials, including the acrylic latex modified cementitious coating designed in this study, were tested in freeze-thaw condition with the presence of chloride ions. The results show that 0.013% of the air-entraining agent and 10% of the carboxylated styrene-butadiene latex were appropriate dosage rates for the modification of Portland cement concrete, in terms of the improvement of the freeze-thaw resistance, compressive strength, and chloride impermeability. For the protection of the current corroded roadside structures, the acrylic-modified cementitious coating material demonstrated a good performance and the field monitoring confirmed that the coating is suitable for the protection of the roadside structures in Xinjiang.

High Durability

In the salt lake areas in China, the ordinary cement concrete can be corroded by the salt in the saline soil seriously, and the application of ordinary portland cement concrete in this area is impeded. Therfore, some new cementitious materials which has high durability should be searched in order to be used in the underground engineering in saline soil areas. In this study, the sulfoaluminate cement is immersed into the salt solution that has high concentration Mg2+, Cl-, SO42-, and the complex solution of them. The corrosion resistance performance of sulfoaluminate cement against high concentration salt solution is tested. The results indicate that Sulfoaluminate cement has perfect durability against sulfate corrosion whose concentration is in the scope of this test. Sulfoaluminate cement can not be corroded by MgCl2 solution when MgCl2 solution concentration is lower than degree 3; but when the concentration of MgCl2 solution reaches degree 4, MgCl2 solution could corrode the sulfoaluminate cement seriously. The corrosion of the specimens immersed in MgCl2 solution whose concentration is degree 4 is caused by the composite action of Mg2+ and Cl-.

Abstract: Polymer concrete and polymer-modified concrete have been widely used around the world since the 1970s. Polymer concrete has been used for repair of portland cement concrete, for overlays and for precast components. Polymer-modified concrete has been used extensively for overlays for bridges and parking facilities and as a thin spray-on mortar for exterior surfaces.

Scaling Resistance

Deterioration of concrete due to surface scaling is a very serious durability problem faced by the construction industry in cold environments. The experimental results of resistance to scaling due to cyclic freezing and thawing in the presence of 3 % NaCl solution (de‐icing agent) of not air‐entrained concrete with and without bituminous addition are presented and discussed in the paper. The results have been analysed using the analysis of variance and regression to verify the effect of addition content, number of freeze‐thaw cycles and the sort of cement on concrete ability to scaling. The statistical analysis showed that the bituminous addition significantly improves the scaling resistance of Portland cement concrete.
