The present invention relates to a corrosion-induced shape memory fiber, a preparation method and application thereof. The corrosion-induced shape memory fiber is composed of a core fiber and/or a core fiber with a corrosion-resistant coating, and a corrodible coating; the core fiber and/or the core fiber with the corrosion-resistant coating are in a tensile stress state along the length of the corrosion-induced shape memory fiber; the corrodible coating is in a compressive stress state along the length of the corrosion-induced shape memory fiber; the core fiber and/or the core fiber with the corrosion-resistant coating and the corrodible coating are in a tensile-compressive equilibrium state along the length of the corrosion-induced shape memory fiber; and the corrodible coating is coated outside the core fiber and/or the core fiber with the corrosion-resistant coating.

The purpose of the present application is to provide a fiber composite for reinforcing concrete, the fiber composite providing a specific number of twists so as to have pull-out resistance in concrete, being capable of serving as a concrete reinforcement since hydrophilic compound, which can bind to concrete by hydrogen bonding, is coated on concrete and the fiber composite, maintaining the shape of fibers when mixed into concrete, reducing a rebound rate during shotcrete placing, and maintaining linearity within concrete.

An admixture for making a high-strength concrete with any type of water, including potable water, freshwater, saltwater, brackish water, reclaimed water or any other non-potable water. The admixture consists of basalt fibers, graphene nanoplatelets, calcium sulfide, calcium chloride, magnesium oxide and nanoclays. The admixture can be added to the cement to supplement it to increase the overall compressive strength, or the amount of cement used can be reduced by the amount of admixture added to shorten cure times. A concrete mix can also be prepared by replacing the calcium chloride with silica fume, reducing the amount of cement used, and introducing locally sourced aggregates, coarse and fine, to yield Ultra High Performance Concrete. Products made from the concrete incorporating the admixture have increased compression strength, improved cure times, reduced water consumption and corrosion, increased durability and workability, drastically reduced freeze-thaw effects, and superior crack control.

The present invention provides bi-component core-shell polymeric microfibers for reinforcing concrete comprising as a first component (shell) ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH) polymer and at least one plasticizer, preferably, polyethylene glycol, and as a second component (core) a polymer chosen from a polyamide, a polyester, such as polyethylene terephthalate, and a polymer blend of a polyolefin and an anhydride grafted polyolefin and having an aspect ratio of length to diameter (L/D) or equivalent diameter of from 300 to 1000. The bi-component polymeric microfibers comprise from 5 to 45 wt. % of the first component, are easily processed, and provide fiber cements having improved mechanical properties at relatively low microfiber loadings.

Provided are a concrete structure repaired and reinforced using a textile grid reinforcement and a highly durable inorganic binder and a method of repairing and reinforcing the same, capable of easily repairing and reinforcing an old concrete structure by adhering a textile grid reinforcement, which is coated with a coating material to improve adhesiveness, to the old concrete structure and by adhering a textile grid reinforcement selectively using a highly durable inorganic binder having chloride penetration resistance performance or chemical resistance performance according to a use environment and a reinforcement purpose, that is, by adhering a textile grid reinforcement using an inorganic binder such as cement in place of an organic adhesive. Further, the concrete structure has excellent refractory performance because both the textile grid reinforcement such as a carbon fiber and the highly durable inorganic binder are incombustible materials, and can be effectively applied to reinforcing facilities exposed to the danger of fire.
