    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a performance testing method and system for a polycarboxylate superplasticizer in a concrete system. An interface model is constructed based on a calcium silicate hydrate (C—S—H) gel model and a molecular dynamics model of a polycarboxylate superplasticizer, which can cover complexity of a cement particle interface and variability of the polycarboxylate superplasticizer, and can also establish a link between a microstructure of the polycarboxylate superplasticizer and a macroscopic fluidity of a cement across multiple scales. Meanwhile, friction resistance is accurately calculated based on the constructed interface model to accurately test a performance of the polycarboxylate superplasticizer, thereby shortening a screening cycle of the polycarboxylate superplasticizer and improving a performance optimization efficiency.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of protective coatings, and provides a graphene oxide (GO)-modified styrene-acrylic Pickering emulsion and a composite emulsion, and preparation methods and use. In the present disclosure, GO is added during polymerization of a styrene-acrylic monomer, and the GO is attached to an interface of a styrene-acrylic core while forming the styrene-acrylic core; and the GO is “stitched” at the interface of the styrene-acrylic core by a silane coupling agent, thus giving the GO a better dispersion effect. After adding a shell phase emulsion, a part of the styrene-acrylic core that is not completely wrapped by a GO sheet may be grafted with a shell phase, and cross-linking between a core phase and the shell phase can further enhance a steric stability of the GO; and the GO can fully connect the styrene-acrylic core with a siloxane shell, improving the molecular configuration of a siloxane component. In the composite emulsion, GO has desirable dispersibility and is not easy to agglomerate, such that the composite emulsion has an excellent performance and can significantly improve the durability of a cement-based material.

    Abstract: A life-cycle performance intelligent-sensing and degradation warning system and method for concrete structures are disclosed. The warning system comprises a main control module, a multifunctional sensor module, an anti-theft module and a critical warning module. Environmental parameters in concrete are monitored by the multifunctional sensor module, and the remaining service life of a concrete structure is accurately predicted through a life prediction model according to the temperature, humidity, chloride ion concentration and pH at different depths, and a critical chloride ion concentration and a structure stress status that are dynamically obtained. In addition, during warning analysis, a targeted correction method is designed for acquired data, and temperature and pH correction is carried out for real-time monitoring data of the chloride ion sensor to further guarantee the accuracy of monitoring data, such that scientific references are provided for durability evaluation, protection and restoration of the structure.
