Marine engineering structures bear both static and dynamic loads, and the durability of concrete is particularly prominent in sulfate attack environments.
Sulfate ions react with cement hydration products to produce expansion products such as gypsum and ettringite, leading to internal expansion, cracking, and surface peeling.
Geopolymer concrete has good corrosion resistance, and basalt fiber can effectively improve the toughness and crack resistance of cement-based materials.
The combination of the two, basalt fiber reinforced geopolymer concrete, has potential applications in marine engineering.
