    Abstract

    In order to deal with the problem that the marine concrete with large dosage of mineral admixture in the actual project faces the harsh marine environment prematurely and is easy to be eroded by chlorine salt, this paper proposed to use magnetized water instead of tap water to prepare marine concrete, studied the influence law of magnetized water on the mechanical properties and durability of marine concrete at different ages, and analyzed the microstructure of marine concrete using the mercury instrusion porosimetry and scanning electron microscope. The study shows that magnetized water improves the workability of marine concrete. Compared with tap water, magnetized water has obvious improvement on the early mechanical properties of marine concrete, in which the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of C50 marine concrete with a curing age of 7 d increase by 17.9% and 16.5%, respectively. Regardless of different curing ages, the resistance to carbonation and chloride ion penetration of magnetized water marine concrete are better than tap water marine concrete. The degree of reaction of cementitious materials in magnetized water marine concrete is higher, with fewer cracks, and the microstructure between cementitious materials and aggregates is more compact. The overall porosity is lower, with more harmless pores and fewer harmful pores, leading to a denser microstructure. Thus the mechanical properties and durability of marine concrete are improved.
