Abstract: In view of the durability of reclaimed aggregate mixed with seawater, effects of corrosion inhibitors on mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of recycled mortar mixed with seawater were analyzed and the mechanism was revealed through microscopic experiments such as X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and mercury intrusion (MIP). The results show that recycled mortar mixed with seawater has a fast corrosion speed in the early stage, and then the corrosion speed slows down after 7 d and gradually tends to passivation. In addition, aminomethyl propanol has an adverse effect on mechanical properties of the mortar and accelerates the corrosion of steel bars. The main reason is that aminomethyl propanol inhibits the cement hydration process and increases the number of pores. Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate has a significant rust-inhibiting effect, which is beneficial to promote the passivation of steel bars in recycled mortar mixed with seawater. At the same time, sodium metasilicate pentahydrate is helpful to promote the formation of C-S-H in the mortar and optimizes the pore structure, which has little effect on mechanical properties of recycled mortar mixed with seawater. This research provides reference for the improvement of durability and service safety of recycled concrete mixed with seawater.
