Abstract This paper illustrates the mechanisms of corrosion steel in concrete, and analyses its influence on service life reinforced concrete structures. Even though other types are mentioned, attention is focused effects carbonation chloride penetration. Factors affecting time to initiation described with regards both properties environmental exposure conditions. Propagation consequences serviceability performance structures illustrated. Approaches for design durable structures, as well...
The effects of the addition different nanosilica dosages (0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% with respect to cement) on compressive strength durability properties concrete water/binder ratios 0.65, 0.55, 0.5 were investigated. Water sorptivity, apparent chloride diffusion coefficient, electrical resistivity, carbonation coefficient measured. results showed that significantly improved in case = while for no change was found. Increasing content, water sorptivity decreased only 0.55. 0.5% 0.65 0.55; however,...
Abstract The localised corrosion behaviour of austenitic, martensitic, and duplex stainless steels has been studied in several solutions simulating the liquid present pores both alkaline carbonated concrete presence chloride ions. work aimed to evaluate suitability these types steel as rebars reinforced structures exposed very aggressive environments. Electrochemical tests have performed with pH values range 7·6-13·9, concentration 0-10%, temperatures 20 40°C. adverse effect a decrese on...
Abstract The use of stainless steel bars in reinforced concrete structures may be an effective method to prevent corrosion aggressive environments where high amounts chlorides penetrate the cover. For estimation service life are used, chloride threshold for these rebars should defined, and influence chemical composition metallurgical factors that affect resistance (strengthening, welding, etc.) assessed. To reduce cost reinforcement, duplex steels with low nickel content have been recently...
