Cathodic Protection Of Steel In Concrete And Masonry

Revised and updated, this second edition of Cathodic Protection of Steel in Concrete and Masonry covers both reinforced concrete and masonry structures, describes in detail the overall design factors involved in cathodic protection (CP), and also provides a theoretical basis for why it works. It refers to the new European standard EN 12696 for cath

Corrosion of Steel in Concrete: Understanding, Investigation and Repair is a guide for designing, constructing and maintaining reinforced concrete structures, such as buildings and bridges which are subject to reinforcement corrosion. It presents the basics of theory and practice in steel corrosion in concrete and reviews the latest research and developments, such as progress on measuring the corrosion threshold for chloride-induced corrosion. This third edition compares the currently proliferating major national and international standards and guidance documents. New developments are considered, such as hybrid anodes for electrochemical treatment and the latest research and developments in assessment, such as the use of ground penetrating radar to measure the chloride content of the concrete cover. It overhauls coverage of electrochemical repair and rehabilitation techniques and outlines recent innovations in structural repair and construction and investigates their implications for durability. The book is ideal for practitioners and graduate students in structural engineering and concrete technology.

Corrosion of Steel in Concrete provides information on corrosion of steel in atmospherically exposed concrete structures and serves as a guide for those designing, constructing and maintaining buildings, bridges and all reinforced concrete structures. This new edition incorporates the new European standards as well as USA and other international standards. It also covers developments in galvanic and impressed current cathodic protection, new electrochemical techniques such as electro-osmosis, and stainless steel clad reinforcing bars. The corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete is a major problem facing civil engineers and surveyors throughout the world today. There will always be a need to build structures in corrosive environments and it is therefore essential to address the problems that result. This is a book to educates about and forms a guide to the problems of corrosion, its causes and how to find solutions.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 ELECTROCHEMICAL CORROSION BEHAVIOR OF STEEL REINFORCEMENT AND CATHODIC PROTECTION IN CONCRETE Concrete is a durable construction material. Reinforcing steel is added to concrete to form a stronger and more durable material. Generally concrete because of its high alkalinity (pH = 12.6) gives protection to steel by creating a passive environment. Concrete infrastructures generally undergo deterioration from either lack of concrete durability or from corrosion of reinforcements [1,2]. Nonhomogeneity of the metal surface, effects of applied stress, depassivity, and surface contamination are the factors responsible for the deterioration of reinforcements. Coastal/marine environments with more salts account for extensive damage to concrete bridges, decks, offshore platforms, piers, vessels, and harbor facilities. Such type of failure is found only when critical quantities of corrosive ions particularly chloride ions penetrated to close to reinforcements
