Abstract
For the repair of narrow cracks in concrete, the potassium magnesium phosphate cement (MKPC)-based material paste should have high fluidity and self-compacting ability, making it convenient for pouring and compacting. A self-compacting MKPC paste that meets the index requirements recommended by the European Federation of National Associations Representing for Concrete (EFNAFC) was prepared by increasing the water-cement ratio and adding water glass and fly ash (FA). Specimens of self-compacting MKPC paste were subjected to long-term water corrosion tests, which found that those high-fluidity MKPC paste specimens (reference sample M0) that were produced with only an increased water-cement ratio lost 15-30% of their strength. The residual ratio of folding to compression was 84.6%, and the volume expansion rate was 7.78 × 10-4 after immersion in water for 560 days. The strength residual rate of MKPC slurry (M1) modified by sodium silicate and fly ash is over 90% after 560 days of immersion in water, and the residual rate of flexural-compressive ratio is 101.3%, which meets the requirements of hydraulic cement-based materials. The volume expansion rate of M1 is 5.19 × 10-4, which is 67% of the reference sample M0 with the same water immersion age.
