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.

A method of controlled hydration expansion of a smectite-containing day mineral (SCM) within an aqueous environment in a confined volumetric space, the method comprising the steps of: —introducing an amount of an SCM into said volumetric space via an inlet thereinto, and initiating the hydration expansion of the SCM to release SCM particles into the confined volumetric space, and increase the pressure therein; and —introducing a flow path modification to control said released SCM particles from undergoing a recompression, said modification thereby maintaining the pressure in the volumetric space.
