Corrosion Resistance Performance of Ethylamines in Fly Ash Blended Cement Concrete

Abstract:

The main aim of this investigation is to study the influence of monoethylamine, diethylamine and triethylamine inhibitors on the corrosion resistance performance of 25% fly ash blended cement concrete. These inhibitors were added in dosages of 1%, 2%, 3% and 4% by weight of cement and experimental investigations have been carried out to compare the effectiveness of these three inhibitors with regard to strength and corrosion resistance. The mechanical strength properties studied were compressive, split tensile, flexural and bond strengths. The resistance to corrosion was evaluated based on the performance of the concrete for the penetration of chloride ions by means of impressed voltage technique, Rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT), AC impedance measurement, and weight loss measurement and ultimately the most effective of the three inhibitors and its optimal dosage has been determined.
