Development of Defining Equations for the Mathematical Theory of Concrete Corrosion Processes
The fundamental difference of the developed defining equations is that they consider the dual system of porosity and kinetic laws of physical and chemical transformations to describe individual stages of corrosion processes. The dual porosity system comprises through capillaries (pores) of the longitudinal direction and adjacent capillaries of the transverse direction. During the reagent mass transfer in through capillaries (pores) there takes place their transfer to transverse ones, in which we can observe the neutralization (dissolution) reaction of chemically active substances in solid phase with the formation of the moving boundaries. The binding and release rate in case of leaching are determined from the respective boundary value problems and are similar in structure. In defining equations, all parameters are reduced to two generalized ones. Their values for forecasting the technical condition of operating structures are to be determined on the basis of concentration distribution of the aggressive component in concrete layer depth in the above-specified structures.
