Diffusion Properties

The early deterioration of concrete structures in chloride-laden environments is well known. The severity of the deterioration of bridges in the United States has resulted in the development of a large number of corrosion protection and rehabilitation methods for service life extension. For bridge engineers to make best use of public funds, service life, service life extension, and method application costs are needed. A methodology based on diffusion properties is presented for determining the service life (reapplication period) and service life extension of concrete bridge surface treatments and sealers. Consideration is given to traffic wear, degradation by ultraviolet light, and the ability of sealers to reduce the rate of ingress of chlorides into the concrete. Service life extension periods are presented for four sealers: solvent and water-based epoxies, silane, and siloxane. Service life extension periods consider the severity of the environment and the bridge member exposure conditions.

Philadelphia Naval Shipyard's application of zone logic to ship overhaul is neither small nor isolated. PNSY started its implementation of zone logic in the late fall of 1986, targeting the Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) for USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) as the initial application. The technical services of Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (IHI), Japan were contracted to assist in this transition. This implementation on the Kitty Hawk is not a trial effort but involves about one third of the production man-days and covers over one half of the compartments on the ship. The actual SLEP production work on Kitty Hawk began in January 1988. Even though it is early in the three-year SLEP, zone logic already is proving its worth. This paper explains the zone logic methods and methodology applied at PNSY on Kitty Hawk. It also discusses the future of zone logic at PNSY and its continued application.

Service Life Extension

This paper presents sensitivity of service life extension and CO2 emission due to silane (alkyltriethoxysilane) treatment on concrete structures under time-dependent chloride attack. The service life is predicted by the Crank–Nicolson-based finite difference approach for avoiding the complexity in solving Fick’s second law. The complexity occurs due to time-dependent chloride attack and nonconstant diffusion coefficient of concrete with silane treatment. At the application time of silane treatment, the cumulative CO2 emission is assessed. The effectiveness of silane treatment is defined as the ratio of the service life extension to the cumulative CO2 emission assessed within the corrosion-free service life. The service life extension is defined as the difference between corrosion-free service life of concrete structures without and with time-based application of silane treatment. From the study, the diffusion of chlorides in concrete with silane treatment is found to be retarded. In comparison, the strategy without deterioration of silanes during effective duration is more suitable for service life extension but less effective than that with deterioration. In the sensitivity analysis, there are up to eight parameters to be determined. The service life of concrete structures without silane treatment is most sensitive to the water-to-cement ratio and the threshold depth of concrete structures. Considering only five parameters in silane treatment strategies, the service life is most sensitive to the first application time of silane treatment. The cumulative CO2 emission is most sensitive to either the first application time of silane treatment or the amount of CO2 emission per application.

Service Life Extension

This study presents assessment of the environmental impact in terms of the CO2 due to silane treatment for extending corrosion-free service life of concrete structures under chloride attack. To achieve this, there are two issues to be addressed; prediction of corrosion-free service life extension, and assessment of the amount of CO2 emission. In predicting the corrosion-free service life extension, the behaviors of chloride diffusion before and after time-based silane treatment are considered. Then, the cumulative CO2 due to silane treatment is accordingly calculated. The ratio of the corrosion-free service life extension to the cumulative CO2 is defined as the effectiveness of silane treatment, and used to compare different silane treatment strategies.

Objective: To reduce side wear of rail elements of side track backing-up rail. Methods: Comparative and computational methods were applied in the study. Results: It was detected that in order to extend the pointwork turnout curve service life, it is necessary to reduce the side impact on an outer rail by using rail pads of diverse elasticity. Practical importance: Application of rail pads of diverse elasticity under the outer and inner rails of a pointwork turnout curve makes it possible to increase the speed of rolling stock movement on the side direction of pointwork and increase the life of a pointwork turnout curve with fixed train speed.
