Abstract:
The corrosion resistance of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) with superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) submerged in deionized water, chloride saltwater, and compound saltwater was studied. The investigated mixtures included a control UHPC mixture and UHPC mixtures with 0.3 % sodium polyacrylates and 0.3 % polyacrylate-co-acrylamide. The corrosion performance was evaluated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, while scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray (SEM/EDX) analysis was used to analyze micro-morphology changes and chemical composition. Polarization analysis revealed that the control specimens exhibited the highest resistance to chloride and sulfate penetration, resulting in negligible corrosion rates after 240 days (i corr from 0.0013 to 0.0063 mu A/cm2). 2 ). The SAP-modified specimens also showed high resistance, with an initial low corrosion rate (i corr of 0.101 mu A/cm2) 2 ) that decreased to negligible levels after 28 days (i corr from 0.047 to 0.088 mu A/cm2). 2 ). SEM/EDX results revealed that SAPs facilitate the formation of Friedel's salt and Ettringite crystals in chloride and compound saltwater, contributing to the reduction in corrosion resistance.
