The Reinforced Concrete Durability and Rebar Erosion Monitoring

Abstract:

On the basis of the advantages of low construction cost, remarkable dynamics property, easy cast moulding and more controllable construction, the reinforced concrete construct are widely applied in buildings and main structures of constructions in China. However, the reinforced concrete is found more or less aging after many years’ utilization and erosion from the environment, which will lead to a hidden risk to affect its functions. After technical development for decades, the concrete can assure its durability under normal situation, yet the function would be deteriorated due to the erosion from the complex and harsh environment to make it hardly reach its designed service life. With the assist of CorroWatch erosion monitor system, the concrete structures’ erosion can kept watched on to obtain the depassivation development and information feedback of some key data dynamically and in long term so as to foresee precisely the erosion starting time. The newly cast concrete depassivation frontline is located on concrete surface and will tend to go through the protective layer and penetrate towards rebar as time goes on. Its structure service life can be enhanced with the re-designed durability in terms of the mentioned characters and do well the erosion proof measures.
