This paper presents results of an ongoing research of the effect of 1D and 2D chloride ingress on concrete resistivity and corrosion rate of steel reinforcement. 12 concrete beams made with concrete of binder blend PC(50)/GGBS(50), w/b = 0.40, 10 mm steel reinforcement rods at concrete cover of 20 mm were used in this laboratory based experiment. The steel reinforcement bars were placed at the middle or at an orthogonal corner of the concrete beams subjected to 1D and 2D chloride ingress respectively. A single crack was induced using 3-point bending on one-half of the beams. The beams were exposed to a repeated cycle of 2 weeks ponding in 5% NaCl and then air drying in ambient laboratory condition for 2 weeks. The corrosion rate of both cracked and uncracked specimens exposed to 2D chloride ingress was significantly higher than that of beams exposed to 1D chloride ingress. The uncracked specimens had lower concrete resistivity values compared to the cracked specimens even though higher corrosion rates were measured.

Corrosion of steel reinforcement is one of the biggest problems facing all countries in the world like bridges in the beach area and marine constructions which lead to study these problems and apply some economical solutions. According to the high cost of repair for these constructions, were studied the effect of using kind of chemical compounds sodium nitrite(NaNO2) and sodium silicate(Na2SiO3) as corrosion inhibitors admixture for steel bars that immersed partially in electrolyte solution (water + sodium chloride in 3% conc.) (Approximately similar to the concentration of salt in sea water). The two inhibitors above added each one to the electrolyte solution at concentrations (0.5%, 1% and 2%) for both of them.      The results were  corrosion rate for steel sample that's immersed partially in salt solution was higher than corrosion rate of steel bar that's immersed partially in electrolyte solution with inhibitors  also the two corrosion inhibitors (sodium nitrite and sodium silicate) that added to the electrolyte solution were working successfully to prevent and inhibit the corrosion by using weight loss technique with best percent of 0.5% sodium nitrite ( efficiency 94.1% ) and best percent of 2% sodium silicate ( efficiency 92.5%).

Corrosion of steel reinforcement embedded in concrete is one of the main causes of degradation of reinforced concrete structures. Degradation occurs in reinforced concrete structures from corrosion caused by the Chloride ingress into concrete. That degradation has a severe impact on the structure in terms of maintenance and rehabilitation costs. Therefore, early detection of reinforcement corrosion is important for efficient maintenance, repair and planning. Meanwhile, the evaluation of the corrosion of reinforcement by non-destructive measurements have been used a lot. In particular CM-II (corrosion meter) is used to measure the polarization resistance, but has some disadvantages. Embedded mini-sensor has been developed in order to overcome these disadvantages. In this study, measurement of corrosion by using the mini-sensor is compared with the measured results by CM-II to verify the validity of the newly developed mini senor. Results show that there are agreement in trends of the parameters measured and as such the developed mini sensor has a promising start to be used.

Two types of steel reinforcement depassivation process: carbonation of concrete and chloride penetration are considered in the article. The comparison between the corrosion due to carbonation of concrete and the chloride-induced corrosion was carried out. It was found out, that chlorides induced corrosion is potentially more dangerous than that resulting from carbonation. Method of durable tests of reinforced concrete structures under the action of the gravitational load and the corrosive chloride environment is described in the article. The results of experimental research on reinforced concrete structures with corrosive damages to steel reinforcement are given in the article. The properties of corrosion cracking in the case of the pitting corrosion were determined. The character of corrosive damage distribution along the reinforcement bars and its effect on the strength of reinforced concrete beams were determined.

Corrosion of steel reinforcement is one of the main durability problems facing reinforced concrete infrastructures worldwide. Steel degradation and/or cracking of concrete both cause severe reduction in bearing capacity, leading ultimately to failure. The potential of repairing corroded concrete beams with two configurations of carbon-fiber reinforced polymeric (CFRP) composites was investigated with a nonlinear finite Element (NLFE) model. CFRP composites were assumed to be either bonded directly to existing concrete or to a new concrete cover; replacing the old one. The data generated showed that the load-bearing capacity and stiffness for concrete beams, as long as corrosion levels were below 10%, can be fully restored. However, the ductility in terms of deflection at failure would be reduced, especially for repair techniques that involved anchoring with CFRP sheets. For corrosion levels greater than 10%, attaching CFRP composites to a new concrete cover contributed to additional improvements in load capacity and stiffness ranging from 10 to 15% of that achieved from similar repairing on existing concrete. The failure modes indicated that debonding failure prevailed, and that the extent of debonding prior to failure depended upon the corrosion level and on whether the concrete cover was replaced or not.

Reinforced concrete is a versatile, economical and successful construction material. Usually, it is durable and resistant material, performing well throughout its service life. However, sometimes it does not perform adequately as it is expected. It is due to poor design, construction, inadequate materials selection and more severe environment than anticipated or a combination of those factors [1, . The reinforcement corrosion is the phenomenon that highly affects the reliability and durability of reinforced concrete structures. From that reason, a lot of researchers in Slovakia and in the world pay their attention to reinforcement corrosion. The paper is concerned with detection and simulation of corrosion of steel reinforcement in the reinforced concrete. The cracking response of the reinforced concrete beams due to the corrosion effect of the steel reinforcement was analyzed. The effect of corrosion was simulated by the nonlinear numerical analysis using the program ATENA.

The influence of phosphate coatings on the corrosion behavior of steel reinforcement in a chloride-containing environment was studied to determine the need for additional protection against corrosion. The main indicators of the corrosion rate of steel reinforcement with phosphate coatings in chloride-containing solutions were determined, confirming the high protective properties of these coatings. It was found that the corrosion rate of steel reinforcement protected by phosphate coatings is reduced by 3 times. The processes of electrochemical corrosion of steel reinforcement of strength class A500S from steel grade St3ps in concrete under the influence of aggressive environments containing chloride ions (2 % MgCl2 solution and HCl solution with pH = 5) were studied. The kinetics of the corrosion process of steel reinforcement with and without protective phosphate coatings in solutions of various compositions has been studied. The change in mass of steel reinforcement protected by phosphate coatings is 3-4 times less than that of samples without coating. The surface potential of steel reinforcement with phosphate films changes significantly more slowly than that of unprotected samples.

AbstractIn this investigation, four concretes (two mix designs and two curing regimes), containing reinforcing bars at covers 11 mm and 20 mm were carbonated fully in 100% CO2 and 65% relative humidity (RH). They were then placed in two different humidity environments (65% RH and 90% RH). The progress of the corrosion of the samples was followed electrochemically (using the linear polarisation technique) and microscopically (using a scanning electron microscope).Electrochemical monitoring of the corrosion rate showed that corrosion started very soon after placement in the humidity regimes and generally increased with time. The water/cement ratio, the concrete cover of the reinforcement and the curing of the concrete had a significant effect the length of time taken to carbonate the specimens. However, the effect of these variables on the corrosion rate was negligible. In addition, the corrosion rate showed no dependance on the humidity regimes.Microstructural examination of the samples revealed the existence of corrosion products at the steel/concrete interface after 6 months in the humidity regimes. There was more corrosion product in the samples at 90% RH. The samples with the low w/c showed more extensive cracking in the interfacial region.
