Fraczek","doi":"10.14359/1633","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14359/1633","url":null,"abstract":"Corrosion of steel in concrete proceeds at a far greater rate in the presence of chloride ions. Most researchers agree that chloride ions act as an essential part of the corrosion cell by (1) lowering the ph of the concrete pore water in contact with the steel, thereby dissolving the passive oxide film on the steel surface, or (2) penetrating the film to react with and transport the metallic iron into the electrolyte. In the latter process, the resulting iron chloride complex ion combines with hydroxyl ions to form ferrous hydroxide in solution and lower the ph. This, in turn, thins out the oxide film and speeds penetration of chloride ions. Eventually the continuing corrosive action results in a pit. To initiate corrosion, a threshold concentration of chloride is needed in excess of the amount immobilized by reaction with tricalcium aluminate in the cement. Investigation of the chloride ion content in concrete adjacent to corroding reinforcing steel shows the concentration to be 1.0 to 1.4 lb of chloride ion per cubic yard of concrete (0.59-0.83 kg/cubic metre).

Lehmann","doi":"10.14359/1638","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14359/1638","url":null,"abstract":"Usually concrete is an ideal environment for steel. Reinforcing steel in most concrete structures is not subject to corrosion. However, when salts (chlorides or sulfates) penetrate concrete and reach steel rebars, corrosion becomes active. Rust takes up a larger volume than the iron from which it is formed, developing pressures as great as 5000 psi within the concrete. This pressure causes cracking and spalling. Ultimately, failure occurs and major repair or replacement is needed. Once salts (from deicing, bleaching, marine environment, foreign aggregate, etc) contaminate concrete, corrosion progresses rapidly. Penetrants, sealants, surface coatings, and membrane barriers are useless in combatting the effects of salts already in concrete. The use of cathodic protection to control corrosion on reinforcing steel in concrete is relatively new. Although cathodic protection has been employed on pipelines, offshore platforms, ship hulls, buried tanks, etc for more than 40 years, its use on concrete bridge decks was initiated only in the early 70's. Since the development of conductive coatings (1980-82) the effectiveness of cathodic protection has been enhanced. It has become easier to install and is now applicable to many different types of concrete structures (i.e., docks; harbor facilities; marine terminals; bridge substructures such as piers, pier caps, and beams; bulkheads; parking garages; industrial water and waste treatment plants; tunnels; coastal buildings; etc). As the acceptance of \"conductive-coating cathodic protection\" continues to grow, new applications develop. This new form of an established technique holds extraordinary promise for large-scale preservation of concrete structures.

Rose","doi":"10.14359/1621","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14359/1621","url":null,"abstract":"The availability of separately ground granulated iron blast-furnace (ggbf) slag, as a separate cementitious material or supplement, has prompted new research on its effects on concrete properties. One area in which ggbf slag has particular promise in concrete is its ability to alter the permeability characteristics of concrete to the extent that its resistance to chloride intrusion is significantly improved. This paper discusses the ability of ggbf slag-cement mixtures to reduce the potential detrimental effects of chloride intrusion into concrete. Three test methods for chloride penetration were used and the results of each are discussed. The following conclusions were developed. (1) significant reductions in permeability are achieved as the replacement level of the slag increases from 40 to 65% of total cementitious material by mass. (2) the permeability of concrete containing ggbf slag is less affected by increases in water-cement ratio than concrete containing regular portland cement alone. (3) the detrimental effects of accelerated curing on the permeability of concrete are virtually eliminated with cement blends containing ggbf slag greater than 50%. (4) concrete containing ggbf slag may require less depth of cover to protect the reinforcing steel than those concretes using portland cement alone.
