Book Description
Four bridge decks were overlayed and patched and one bridge pier was patched using concrete with and without corrosion inhibiting admixtures. Some concrete surfaces received topically applied corrosion-inhibiting treatments prior to placement of the concrete. The repairs were successfully completed, and the initial condition of the repairs is good. Corrosion probes were installed in many of the repairs, and measurements are being made each quarter to determine macrocell current, macrocell potential, and resistance. The probe indicates that corrosion is occurring in repairs done with and without corrosion-inhibiting treatments. No conclusions can be drawn at this time, and the study will continue for a total of 5 years.

Pages : 58
Book Description
The primary objective of the project was to determine the effectiveness of cathodic protection, electrochemical chloride extraction, and corrosion-inhibitor treatment systems installed during the SHRP effort through the long-term evaluation of 32 field test sites and a number of laboratory concrete slab specimens. The FHWA program required monitoring the long-term performance of corrosion inhibitor treatments on selected components of four bridges that were treated and evaluated under SHRP C-103. Three evaluations over a period of 5 years were conducted on structures located in Minnesota, New York and Pennsylvania, and two evaluations were conducted on a structure in Washington State. An analysis of the results concluded that neither of the corrosion inhibitors evaluated in this study, using the specified repairs and exposed to the specific environments, provided any corrosion-inhibiting benefit. Shrinkage cracking plagued repairs at all test sites except for the Washington site.

Corrosion Inhibitors for Steel in Concrete

Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
The use of inhibitors for rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures is a new field of application and this new volume provides a State of the Art Report on this subject. Corrosion of steel in concrete is one of the major problems for infrastructure such as bridges, tunnels, housing etc. since it leads to spalling of the concrete and loss in cross section of the steel that may cause structural and safety problems. The steel in concrete generally resists corrosion as a result of a passive layer that develops on the metal surface in the alkaline environment of the concrete. Corrosion can occur if these conditions are disturbed, for example, in the presence of chlorides or with carbonation of concrete. Traditional repair methods consist in removing the deteriorated concrete and replacing it but these can be laborious, noisy and very costly. To avoid these disadvantages new methods have been developed in recent years. These include electrochemical procedures and, increasingly, the use of inhibitors. The use of inhibitors for rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures is a new field of application and this new volume provides a State of the Art Report on this subject.The report, under the editorship of Prof. Bernhard Elsener, was prepared by a Task Group of the EFC Working Party on Corrosion of Reinforcement in Concrete. In a literature review it describes inorganic and organic chemicals that have been proposed and examined as well as the commercial corrosion inhibitors that are available on the market. Protection mechanism and possible effects of inhibitors on concrete properties are described. Practical experience with inhibitors for steel in concrete and the long term effectiveness are considered. The various test methods for evaluating the behaviour of the inhibitors are described and critically assessed. In a rapidly evolving field this State of the Art Report, based mainly on independent not commercial literature, will be of value to corrosion engineers and civil engineers concerned with maintenance and repair of reinforced concrete structures.

Pages : 264
Book Description
To protect metals or alloys from corrosion, some methods can be used such as isolating the structure from the aggressive media or compensating the loss of electrons from the corroded structure. The use of corrosion inhibitors may include organic and inorganic compounds that adsorb on the metallic structure to isolate it from its surrounding media to decrease oxidation-reduction processes. This book collects new developments about corrosion inhibitors and their recent applications.

Field Evaluation of Corrosion Inhibitors for Concrete

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Epoxy coatings
Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
One hundred and fifty-six exposure slabs have been constructed with and without a variety of combinations of corrosion inhibiting admixtures and topically applied inhibitors. To accelerate corrosion one hundred and thirty-six of the slabs were constructed with concrete that surrounded the top mat of reinforcement with chloride contents of 3,6, 10, and 15 Ib/yd3 (1.8,3.5,5.9, and 8.9 kg/m3). This paper presents the results from measurements made on the slabs in May 1998 after approximately 1 year of exposure. The measurements show that as the chloride ion content in the slabs increases, the macrocell current, macrocell potential, half-cell potential, and rate of corrosion increase and the resistance decreases. Macrocell currents exceed 10 uA, indicating corrosion activity, in slabs cast with chloride in the concrete except those with 3 Ib/yd3 (1.8 kg/m3 ) of chloride that were overlayed and patched or patched. Measurements taken to determine the rate of corrosion indicate high, moderate, low, and passive states of corrosion in 63,22, 12, and 3 percent, respectively, of the slabs. The measurements also show no significant difference between the slabs repaired with and without corrosion inhibitor admixtures and topical treatments. Slabs repaired with 7% silica fume showed half-cell potentials that were less negative than those repaired without silica fume.

Author: V. S. Sastri
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 111801541X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
A book to cover developments in corrosion inhibitors is long overdue. This has been addressed by Dr Sastri in a book which presents fundamental aspects of corrosion inhibition, historical developments and the industrial applications of inhibitors. The book deals with the electrochemical principles and chemical aspects of corrosion inhibition, such as stability of metal complexes, the Hammett equation, hard and soft acid and base principle, quantum chemical aspects and Hansch' s model and also with the various surface analysis techniques, e.g. XPS, Auger, SIMS and Raman spectroscopy, that are used in industry for corrosion inhibition. The applications of corrosion inhibition are wide ranging. Examples given in this book include: oil and gas wells, petrochemical plants, steel reinforced cement, water cooling systems, and many more. The final chapters discuss economic and environmental considerations which are now of prime importance. The book is written for researchers in academia and industry, practicing corrosion engineers and students of materials science, engineering and applied chemistry.
