Study on the Durability of Concrete Structure of Aviation Oil Wharf of Shenzhen Airport

Abstract:

Due to the invasion of chloride ion, the reinforcement in coastal concrete structure is corroded, which causes damage to the concrete structure and becomes the major factor affecting the structure’s service life. Aiming at the existing concrete structure under the coastal environment of Shenzhen City, the durability experimental study has been implemented, discussing the main reason for the insufficient durability of the existing structure. The experiment result shows that the higher chloride ion diffusion coefficient (76.1×10^-12 m²/s) in the concrete structure leads that the chloride ion concentration of the structure in the depth of 30mm surpasses one percent upon using it for two decades. The half-cell potential value also reflects the relatively high possibility of the reinforcement corrosion of the structure. Combining with the experiment result, the service life of this concrete structure has been analyzed, which is hard to be guaranteed to use for five decades under the current concrete parameters and resistance.
