Chloride Ion Corrosion Resistance of Innovative Self-Healing SMA Fiber-Reinforced Engineering Cementitious Composites under Dry-Wet Cycles for Ocean Structures

To evaluate the chloride ion corrosion resistance of proposed innovative self-healing concrete based on shape memory alloys (SMA) and engineering cementitious composites (ECC), a total of 2 kinds of 22 specimens were prepared. Chloride ion corrosion tests of self-healing SMA-ECC concrete under dry-wet cycles were carried out. It was found that the chloride ion erosion depths of SMA-ECC were significantly smaller than that of MC, and the growth rate of erosion depth of SMA-ECC was obviously smaller than that of MC after 15 dry-wet (dry and wet) corrosion cycles. The chloride ion content of SMA-ECC vanished at the erosion depth more than 10 mm, which was consistent with the test result of AgNO3 solution color-rendering test. Test results indicate that, compared to marine concrete (MC), SMA-ECC has a better chloride ion corrosion resistance behavior. Moreover, the chloride ion concentration of SMA-ECC at a chloride ion erosion depth of less than 10 mm decreased more significantly than that of MC, indicating that almost all chloride salt solution reacted in the outer layer of SMA-ECC, which is consistent with the conclusions of 4.1 and 4.2. Finally, based on the erosion distribution of chloride ions and Fick’s second law, a calculation model describing the relationship between the apparent chloride ion diffusion coefficient and the boundary condition of the chloride ion content was proposed.
