Abstract

In order to investigate the durability of fiber gypsum-based cementation material, a composite material was prepared by incorporating polypropylene and ramie fibers into high-strength gypsum, fly ash, and slag in a ratio of 44∶34∶22. Sodium methylsilicate was utilized for waterproofing the fiber gypsum-based cementitious material, and the effects of freeze-thaw cycles on its softening property, water absorption, and mass loss were studied after 5, 15, 25, 45, and 90 days under the combined action of H2SO4 or NaOH corrosion and freeze-thaw. Freeze-thaw strain testing, flexural and compressive strength testing, as well as industrial computed tomography(CT) scanning were conducted. The results indicate that fibers can mitigate both elastic and plastic deformation of the gypsum-based cementitious material during freeze-thaw cycles. Furthermore, under the combined effect of acid-base corrosion and freeze-thaw cycles, NaOH causes greater damage than H2SO4 does. After undergoing 90 days of freeze-thaw cycling with sodium methylsilicate treatment applied to it, the flexural and compressive softening coefficients increase by 0.28 and 0.13 respectively compared to specimens without waterproofing; meanwhile water absorption rates decrease by 1.56% while mass loss rates decreased by 9.52%. As freezing-and thawing times increase, pore development in specimens is still dominated by small holes, and crack diameters are mainly between 0.1 ~2 mm.
