The penetration of water and chloride ion into the concrete is of factors that cause rust and corrosion in rebars by reaching the existing reinforcement surface in reinforced concrete structures. In this study, effect of using Asphalt Plant Surplus Filler as a partial replacement of cement with replacement values of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% on permeability and electrical resistance of cement mortar were investigated with the aim of decreasing cement consumption. In order to determine the penetration of water, 10 cubic specimens with the size of 150 mm were made and tested. In order to determine chloride ion penetration, 20 cylindrical specimens with a length of 50 and a diameter of 100 mm were studied at the ages of 28 and 56 days. To test the electrical resistivity of cement mortar, 30 cubic specimens with the size of 100 mm were tested at the ages of 7, 28 and 56 days. According to the results of the experiments, adding filler to the cement mortar enhances the penetration of water and chloride ion. Electrical resistivity generally increases with the increase of specimen age. Furthermore, the filler increment indicates the reduction of electrical resistivity.

This paper presents a study of the resistance to chloride penetration of blended Portland cement mortar containing thermoplastic waste polymer polyethylene terephthalate (TWPET). Composite TWPET-mortars are often presented as the materials of the future in reason of their potential for innovation and advantages that offer. In fact, the use of TWPET percentages as a cement substitution reduces energy costs; address problems related to environmental pollution by CO2 emissions and repairs various reinforced concrete structures. Blended Portland cement (CPJ) is partially replaced with TWPET at the amounts of 2%, 4% and 6% by weight of cementitious materials. Chloride penetration depth of full and partial immersions in 3% NaCl solution, rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT) after 28, 90 and 120 days, sorptivity, leaching test and flexural strength of thermoplastic-mortar composites (TMCs) were determined. Test results reveal that the resistance to chloride penetration of TMCs improves substantially with partial replacement of CPJ with TWPET and without significantly affecting the flexural strength in tap water. The chemical resistance is higher with an increase in the replacement level. So, sorptivity, the chloride ion penetration depth, apparent chloride ion diffusion coefficient, the total charge passed in coulombs and leached depth measurements of the TMCs are much smaller than those of reference mortar. The formations which appear such as different calcium salts were determined by X-ray diffraction. These results take into account the use of waste plastics in the manufacture of mortars modified which can be both recommended for preventing the chloride-induced corrosion of the steel in various reinforced concrete structures and participate greatly in the environment preservation.

Reinforced Concrete Structures

Recent earthquakes have demonstrated that most of the reinforced concrete structures were severely damaged; the beam-column joints, being the lateral and vertical load resisting members in reinforced concrete structures, are particularly vulnerable to failures during earthquakes. The existing reinforced concrete beam-column joints are not designed as per code IS13920:1993. Investigation of high performance concrete (HPC) joints with conventional concrete (CC) joints (exterior beam-column) was performed by comparing various reinforcement detailing schemes. Ten specimens were considered in this investigation and the results were compared: four specimens with CC (with and without seismic detailing), four specimens with HPC (with and without seismic detailing), and two specimens with HPC at confinement joint. The test was conducted for lateral load displacement, hysteresis loop, load ratio, percent of initial stiffness versus displacement curve, total energy dissipation, strain in beam main bars, and crack pattern. The results reveal that HPC with seismic detailing will be better compared with other reinforcements details under cyclic loading and reverse cyclic loading.

In this work, technological feasibility of autonomous corrosion assessment of reinforced concrete structures is studied. Corrosion of reinforcement bars (rebar), induced by carbonation or chloride penetration, is one of the leading causes for deterioration of concrete structures throughout the globe. Continuous nondestructive in-service monitoring of carbonation through pH and chloride ion (Cl−) concentration in concrete is indispensable for early detection of corrosion and making appropriate decisions, which ultimately make the lifecycle management of RC structures optimal from resources and safety perspectives. Critical state-of-the-art review of pH and Cl− sensors revealed that the majority of the sensors have high sensitivity, reliability, and stability in concrete environment, though the experiments were carried out for relatively short periods. Among the reviewed works, only three attempted to monitor Cl− wirelessly, albeit over a very short range. As part of the feasibility study, this work recommends the use of internet of things (IoT) and machine learning for autonomous corrosion condition assessment of RC structures.

Ion Penetration

Chloride ion penetration frequently leads to steel corrosion and reduces the durability of reinforced concrete. Although previous studies have investigated the chloride ion permeability of some fiber concrete, the chloride ion permeability of the basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) has not been widely investigated. Considering that BFRC may be subjected to various exposure environments, this paper focused on exploring the chloride ion permeability of BFRC under the coupling effect of elevated temperatures and compression. Results demonstrated that the chloride ion content in concrete increased linearly with temperature. After exposure to different elevated temperatures, the chloride ion content in BFRC varied greatly with increasing stress. The compressive stress ratio threshold for the chloride ion penetration was measured. A calculation model of BFRC chloride ion diffusion coefficient under the coupling effect of elevated temperatures and mechanical damage (loading test) was proposed.

Reinforced Concrete Structure

Chloride-induced corrosion of steel in reinforced concrete structures is one of the major causes of their deterioration over time. The analysis and research on the diffusion mechanism of chloride ions in reinforced concrete structures is still insufficient, and it is necessary to calculate the path of chloride ions based on theoretical models. In this paper, the fick’s second law was used to describe the free chloride concentration evolution in concrete. The Monte Carlo simulation was used to predict the cumulative distribution of corrosion initiation of reinforcing steel.The results show that the calculated results of the established model are in good agreement with the measured results.
