▎ 摘  要

The usage of industrially generated graphene was explored in this work, with an emphasis on dosage effects on durability, as well as the mechanical and microstructural properties of both concrete and mortar (0%, 0.1%, and 0.2% in concrete and 0%, 0.07%, and 0.15% in mortar). Based on the mix design for wastewater infrastructure, the results showed that adding graphene to both concrete and mortar enhanced 28-day compressive strength by 10%-20%, with the best admixture level being 0.02%-0.1%. Graphene reduced the AVPV of mortar by 11.7%, and concrete by 19.3% at the optimal dosages, likely by reducing the number or size of pores in the paste. The 0.2% and 0.15% graphene reinforced concrete and mortar showed significant sulfate resistance, by reducing 62% and 60% of extension respectively, after exposure to a sulfate solution for 16 weeks.
