Abstract

The transport properties of moisture and ionic chelators in the concrete affect not only the durability of the concrete, but also the effectiveness of the repair material in repairing cracks in the concrete. The transport of water and ionic chelators in the concrete was investigated by capillary absorption tests and ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer). It was found that the smaller the radius of the capillary pore within the concrete, the longer it takes to saturate it with water.The different pore sizes of capillaries take different times to reach saturation, which is one of the reasons for the “square root shift phenomenon” of capillary water absorption in concrete. The higher the initial concentration, the easier it is for the ion chelators to be transported inside the concrete within a certain transport depth range. However, after a certain range of transport depth, the initial concentration does not have a significant effect on the transport of the ion chelators. This is not the same as the transport pattern of nonchelated ions. Comparing the transport processes of chelated and non-chelated ions within the concrete, it was found that chelated ions form aggregation zones when transported within the concrete. The analysis suggests that the repair of pores and cracks within the concrete by the chelating agent promotes the creation of aggregation zones. Other factors such as the presence of chelated ions, the transport medium, changes in porosity, and wet and dry cycles can all influence the formation of chelated ion aggregates.
