An anti-corrosive concrete grouting material for coastal structure connection and a method for preparing the same, belonging to the technical field of anti-corrosion of coastal assembled structure connectors. The grouting material includes the following components: expansible compound cement, slag sand, fly ash (FA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) (containing an oxidant and a catalyst), graphene oxide (GO), a water reducer, an adjusting admixture, a defoaming agent, a mineral admixture and water. A shrinkage-free effect of the grouting material is realized through internal curing of GO-PVA hydrogel, micro-expansion of the compound cement and shrinkage reduction effect of the FA; an energy storage effect of a GO-PVA hydrogel micro-capacitor is exerted to avoid formation of a reinforcement corrosion micro-battery in a grouting material sleeve, a reinforcement corrosion self-immune effect is achieved, seawater corrosion resistance of the grouting material is improved by the slag sand, and it has huge economic and environmental protection benefits.

An inorganic mortar system for chemical fastening of an anchor in mineral substrates can contain at least one hard aggregate having a Mohs-hardness of greater than or equal to 8. The inorganic mortar system contains a curable aluminous cement component A and an initiator component B for initiating the curing process. Component A contains at least one blocking agent selected from boric acid, phosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, phosphoric acid, and salts and mixtures thereof. Component B contains an initiator, at least one retarder, at least one mineral filler, and water. The use of at least one hard aggregate having a Mohs-hardness of greater than or equal to 8 in an inorganic mortar increases load values and reduces shrinkage. A method can be used for chemical fastening of an anchor, preferably of metal elements, in mineral substrates, such as structures made of brickwork, concrete, pervious concrete, or natural stone.
