Abstract
The mortar loses strength under acid rain conditions, causing cracking, weight loss and damage to the structure. This paper studies the effects of graphenene nanoplatelets(GNP) mortar under simulated acid rain conditions. A control sample without GNP and the addition of GNP were ranging from 0.2% to 0.6% by weight of ordinary Portland cement were prepared. In different corrosion days, the mechanical properties of the GNP cement mortar were measured, scanning electron microscopy also applied. Results showed that the mechanical properties of cement mortar added with graphene are improved. Compared with the control sample, the compressive strength and flexural strength of specimens containing 0.2wt% GNP are increased by 10% and 8%, respectively. Adding GNP can improve the acid resistance and durability of cement mortar.
