1. Introduction

In winter, snow removal in northern China is often carried out by sprinkling deicing salt. After low-temperature freezing and erosion by molten salt water, concrete will peel off and steel bars will rust. Because the weather is too cold, and the ionic solution will also have an impact on the concrete. The material degradation leads to the degradation of its structural performance. This will greatly affect the durability performance of concrete, making it unable to reach the expected service life and creating significant safety hazards. Therefore, the research content of this paper is very meaningful ^[1-2].

Compared with the first generation of ordinary concrete, the new type of concrete with certain fibers added is more powerful, and scholars are also more concerned about it ^[3-8]. Concrete with added fibers, which has been studied, is definitely more effective. But adding only one type of fiber has a mediocre effect, and the vast majority of current research is also in this situation. It is obvious that adding different types of fibers can complement each other’s shortcomings and further improve their characteristics. But now few people are studying this direction.

This article studies the salt frost resistance of mixed fiber reinforced concrete by adding carbon fiber and glass fiber in different proportions to concrete. A prediction model for salt frost damage of carbon fiber glass fiber mixed concrete is established, providing guidance and reference for the on-site application of mixed fiber reinforced concrete in severe cold areas. This can provide a theoretical guidance for the practical application of fiber cement in the future. Meanwhile, it will be tailored to different scenarios. Angles with different temperatures, corrosion conditions, salt concentrations, and corrosion durations. Further conduct testing research. And continue the idea of combining experiments with artificial intelligence methods. Continuously improving the research content of this paper.

2. Performance test

2.1. Test materials and proportions

To ensure the quality of the experiment, standard companies produce cement for the selection of cement used in the experiment. Both coarse aggregate and fine stones in the experiment are of high quality. Select Class I fly ash manufactured by Tianjin Thermal Power Plant as the fly ash. The anhydrous sodium sulfate and anhydrous sodium chloride used in the experiment meet the specification requirements.

To ensure the universality of the experiment. Our laboratory first conducted a lengthy, serious, and comprehensive investigation and research on mainstream domestic fiber manufacturers. The system has sorted out 162 fiber manufacturers. They all have national production qualifications. The products produced are highly consistent with the overall product series. So our laboratory conducted a systematic selection from inside. After 6 rounds of 24 rounds of screening. We have compiled a total of 6 types of fiber samples to be used. Corresponding to the 6 manufacturers mentioned above. It has also undergone many comprehensive considerations and trade-offs. Taking into account the technical and economic viability of each fiber. In the end, our laboratory used carbon fibers produced by Jiangsu Boshi Continuous Fiber Co., Ltd. After the same screening criteria, six types of glass fibers have also entered our field of vision. In the end, our laboratory used glass fiber from Hebei Antai Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. In order to more intuitively and clearly characterize the technical indicators and physical properties of each fiber. Now summarize their main performance. And it is presented in the table 1 below.

Table 1. Performance parameters of fiber

The designed concrete mix ratio is w (cement): w (water): w (fine aggregate): w (coarse aggregate) =477:194:688:1 032. To ensure the applicability of the experiment. We need to have as many parameters as possible for the testing conditions under different ratio parameters. However, the method of traversal cannot cover all working conditions. Therefore, we set a testing condition every 0.05% interval. Our laboratory conducted experiments on the above content. Representative working conditions will now be organized. This experiment used ordinary concrete (OC) as the control group, kept the concrete mix ratio unchanged, and formed each experimental group by adding fibers with different dosages, named CF** GF**. CF represents concrete doped with carbon fiber, GF represents concrete doped with glass fiber, and the number after the letter represents the fiber content. CF10 represents the addition of carbon fiber concrete with a volume fraction of 0.10%. The mixing ratio parameters of the experimental group are shown in Table 2.

Table 2. Design parameters of concrete mix proportions

2.2. Test project

The volume of cement used for testing is 0.20 meters × 0.20 meters × 0.10 meters. A total of 3 pieces were used in the experiment. The chemical reagent used in the experiment is a sodium chloride solution. The duration of the experiment is 48 hours. The mass fraction of sodium chloride solution is 3.5%. When conducting experiments, each experiment should have 25 full freeze-thaw cycles. After thoroughly drying the specimen, weigh the mass of the specimen and calculate its dynamic elastic modulus. The two important indicators for evaluating concrete freeze-thaw damage are the mass loss rate and the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity. After N freeze-thaw cycles. The mass loss rate and relative dynamic modulus of elasticity of concrete are:

is the mass of concrete before freeze-thaw cycles. With a dimension of grams; is the mass of concrete after N freeze-thaw cycles. With a dimension of grams.

is the initial transverse fundamental frequency of the concrete before freeze-thaw cycles, with a dimension of Hz; is the transverse fundamental frequency of the concrete after N freeze-thaw cycles, measured in Hz.

3. Test results and Analysis

3.1. Concrete quality loss rate

The quality loss rate of OC. And each group of fiber reinforced concrete varies. With the cycles number N. Is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Mass loss rate of concretes

As shown in Figure 1, when N ≤ 25. All curves are in a downward trend. This is due to the presence of micro cracks inside the concrete during the initial stage of the experiment. The traces of cement are becoming increasingly prominent. All the ions in sodium chloride have gone in. The moisture absorbed by cement. The overall quality has improved. When N = 25, the degree of injury becomes even more severe. The mass of sodium chloride solution absorbed by cement is less than the weight of weight loss. When N>125, the degree of injury intensifies on the original basis.

3.2. Concrete elastic loss rate

The relative dynamic elastic modulus of OC. And each group of fiber reinforced concrete varies. With the number of freeze-thaw cycles N. Is shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2. Elastic loss rate of concretes

As shown in Figure 2, as the number of freeze-thaw cycles increases, the dynamic elastic modulus of concrete shows a decreasing trend to varying degrees. When N≤75, the dynamic elastic modulus of each group of concrete decreases slowly; When 75125, the rate of decrease in the dynamic elastic modulus of concrete increases sharply. During the entire freeze-thaw test, the degree of OC damage was the highest.

When subjected to 200 freeze-thaw cycles, the relative dynamic elastic modulus of each group of concrete is: OC

4. Performance Prediction

4.1. Freeze thaw damage model

To accurately describe the damage caused by cement under freezing and saline conditions. We have consulted literature on temperature and electrolytes. Part of it is to consider the quality loss of cement. Part of it is to consider the cumulative damage caused by freeze-thaw of cement. Here we balance both. Provided a comprehensive definition. For the first type of loss rate. When it is greater than equal to 5%. We position it as causing irreversible structural damage. For the second type of loss rate. When it is greater than equal to 40%. We position it as causing irreversible structural damage. During the process of concrete salt freezing damage, the mass of concrete increases due to the absorption of moisture in the early stages of the test. The modified prediction model for concrete freeze-thaw damage under freeze-thaw cycles and chloride salt coupling is as follows:

D represents the cumulative damage of concrete during freeze-thaw cycles, which is dimensionless. E₀ is the initial dynamic modulus of elasticity, with a dimension of MPa. E_N is the dynamic elastic modulus of the test block after N freeze-thaw cycles, with a dimension of MPa. N is the number of freeze-thaw cycles. a. b and c are the correlation coefficients of fiber content ^[14].

4.2. Improved BP neural network prediction method

BP neural network is an intelligent sample training method mainly used for optimizing and predicting nonlinear variables, similar to the biological neural response method. When dealing with prediction problems, it does not have high requirements for the original input parameters and has strong data processing capabilities. It mainly calculates the output layer function and inverse error function values of the training samples continuously, and compares and analyzes them with the original parameter requirements until the relevant requirements are met ^[15-18]. The sample training is stopped and the optimal output result is output.

The revised mathematical calculation expression is as follows:

is the inertia weight; is the velocity of the particle; is the position of the current particle; and is the acceleration factor; and is the random numbers between B (0,1); is the d-th dimensional component of the optimal position vector for the i-th particle at time k; is the d-th dimensional component in the optimal position vector of the population at time k.

The performance improvement of neural network algorithms mainly comes from two aspects. On the one hand, it improves the rationality of the input data of the model, and on the other hand, it improves the model itself, thereby reducing the limitations of algorithm optimization and improving the optimization ability of the algorithm to handle high-dimensional complex data. This article adopts the momentum gradient method with variable step size to improve the learning factor of neural networks, reduce the oscillation of algorithm optimization, and improve the reliability of network training samples. The calculation expression for adjusting the learning factor of neural networks based on variable step size is as follows:

On this basis, the momentum term influence factor of the reverse error calculation bias in the neural network training samples is taken into account.

The flowchart is shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3. Improved BP neural network method flowchart

Calculate based on measured data. The convergence curve is shown in Figure 4.

From Figure 4, it can be seen that the established prediction model has high accuracy and reliability in predicting the degree of concrete salt frost damage. As can be seen from the figure, the simulation curve with the application of particle swarm optimization algorithm. Its fitting effect is very close to the actual working conditions. In more than ten actual testing conditions. All can correspond to it. The overall trend is consistent with the summarized pattern obtained from the experiment. At the same time, in terms of convergence, it can converge quickly. No divergence occurred. In terms of iteration times, it also maintains overall controllability. The simulation time is fast. Provide guidance for the practical engineering applications.
