Traditional macro-humidity monitoring equipment in civil engineering cannot capture the microscale humidity inside cement-based materials in situ. In this paper, a method of using rhodamine 6G fluorescence to characterize the change in relative humidity in cement-based materials is proposed. Two kinds of moulding processes are designed, which are premixed and smeared after moulding, and the optimal preparation concentration is explored. The results showed that rhodamine 6G can reflect the relative humidity of cement-based materials in situ by its fluorescence intensity and had little effect on the hydration heat release and hydration products of cement-based materials;the fluorescence intensity was much higher when the internal relative humidity was 63% and 75%. The research results lead the application of polymer materials in the field of traditional building materials, help to explore the performance evolution law of cement-based materials in micro scale, and have important significance for the evolution from single discipline to interdisciplinary.展开更多

The parameters of calcium carbonate precipitation during self-healing were simulated. A permeability modeling of self-healing, combined with numerical simulation of calcium carbonate formation, was proposed based on the modified Poiseuille flow model. Moreover, the percentage of calcium carbonate in healing products was measured by TG-DTA. The simulated results show that self-healing can be dramatically promoted with the increase of pH and Ca2+ concentration. The calculated result of permeability is consistent with that measured for cracks appearing in middle or later stages of self-healing, it indicates that this model can be used to predict the self-healing rate to some extent. In addition, TG-DTA results show that the percentage of calcium carbonate in healing products is higher for mortar with only chemical expansion additives or cracks appearing in the later stage, which can more accurately predict the self-healing rate for the model.展开更多
