Abstract

It was easy for hydraulic concrete buildings such as hydraulic DAMS in high-altitude/latitude and cold region to have the phenomenon of uplift failure between the outerlayer of the building and the ice cover during freezing,which reduced the durability and service life of the buildings. The effects of different contents of ethyl orthosilicate(TEOS)mixed with hydroxysilicone oil(PDMS)in cement based protective coatings on the ice pulling resistance were tested,and the effects of different concentration gradient of isopropyl alcohol(IPA)in solvents on the permeability and corrosion resistance of coatings were tested.One kind of impregnated protective coatings with TEOS,PDMS,IPA and ethanol(EtOH) as the main ingredients was developed to act on the water facing surface of water conservancy DAMS in high-altitude/latitude and cold region,and the ice pulling resistance was compared with other varieties of coatings. The results showed that the ice pullingresistance of the coatings increased firstly and then decreased with the increase of TEOSdosage,and the best effect was achieved when TEOS mass fraction was about 21%. Addingabout 18% IPA could effectively reduce the pollution phenomenon during the coatings use, which would lead to shortened service life of the coatings. Compared with coatings of thesame type,the developed protective coatings achieved a good effect in the water contact angle comparison test and ice pulling resistance test. The water contact angle of developedprotective coatings was 121. 5°. The proposed test method for detecting the ice pulling forcebetween the cement base and the ice sheet could be used as a way to test the ice pullingresistance of the cement base coatings.
