Effects of graphene oxide on chloride ion penetration and microstructure of coral-sand cement stones
The coral-sand (CS) foundations built in the marine environment inevitably suffer from chemical invasion of seawater. Graphene oxide (GO) has been considered as a feasible additive to improve chloride penetration ability of cement mortar, but limited studies have been carried out on GO-modified CS cement stones. In this study, a series of rapid chloride migration (RCM) tests were respectively conducted on CS or river-sand (RS) cement stones with various GO contents. Meanwhile, scanning electron microscope (SEM) tests were also performed to study microscopic features of the cement stones. Experimental results revealed that the chloride migration coefficient D RCM for both CS and RS samples firstly decreased and then increased with increasing GO content. The lowest D RCM values were achieved while adding 0.02 wt% GO for CS samples and 0.03 wt% GO for RS samples. Meanwhile, the D RCM values of CS samples were higher than those of RS samples at a given GO content. Microstructural results demonstrated that as the GO content increased, the shape of hydration crystals gradually transformed from a needle-like shape to a flower-like shape. The addition of GO could promote hydration products to fill the holes inside the cement stones, effectively inhibiting the chloride ion penetration.
