TY - CONF A1 - Ebell, Gino A1 - Achenbach, R. A1 - Harnisch, J. T1 - The dgzfp Subcommittee „Corrosion Detection in Reinforced Concrete“ N2 - The subcommittee “Corrosion Detection in Reinforced Concrete” is a technical committee within the scope of the German Society for Non-Destructive Testing (DGZfP). The international working group consists of engineers and scientists from Germany, Austria and Switzerland who work at research institutes or engineering firms and aims for the practical implementation of non-destructive testing in civil engineering (NDT-CE) methods to assess the corrosion condition of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Therefore, the group works on technical specifications that explain the necessary theoretical background of the presented techniques but mainly provide helpful instructions for the application on-site and in the laboratory. Based on the corrosion process of steel in concrete the specifications focus on selected topics where the field engineer is getting into contact with the phenomenon. Therefore, specification B 12 highlights corrosion monitoring in reinforced and prestressed concrete structures and presents different approaches to monitor the initiation and propagation phase of corrosion and shows case studies of where these techniques were applied successfully. Specification B 03 deals with the potential-mapping technique. In addition to this specification, practical training courses and certification in this method have been developed and are offered by the working group members and are organized by the DGZfP. Both specifications, B 03 as well as B 12, are available in English. In the case of specification B 03, the current version is still in the translation process and will be available soon. Currently, the group is working on a new specification for measuring the electrical resistivity of cementitious materials, for example, to evaluate the suitability of mortars for cathodic protection applications and to validate the influence of the concrete resistivity with regard to corrosion processes of steel in concrete. Given the increasing impact of corrosion damages on infrastructural structures, the working group would like to introduce the use of the mentioned specifications to an interested international audience and thus offer the possibility to reliably detect corrosion damages at an early stage to prevent significant damages or high repair costs on RC structures.

Bei Vorspannsystemen mit metallischen Hüllrohren im nachträglichen Verbund ist eine Aussage über den Korrosionszustand des Hüllrohrs, nicht aber des Spannstahls möglich.

T1 - Specification B 12 - Corrosion monitoring in reinforced and prestressed concrete structures N2 - This specification describes how corrosion monitoring is used to check the condition of reinforced and prestressed concrete members. In this specification, the term "corrosion monitoring" covers all methods in which it is possible to continuously track corrosion-relevant variables in the area of stationary, built-in sensors. This specification does not cover other possible methods, such as potential field measurements, involving the use of mobile, portable sensors that are placed temporarily on the membersurface to take measurements.

A1 - Gluth, Gregor T1 - Pore Solution composition of GGBFS-containing cement pastes N2 - Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag (GGBFS), a by-product of the iron-making process, has gained significant attention as a supplementary cementitious material and has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its remarkable properties. GGBFS can significantly reduce the environmental impact of cement production when it comes to building concrete structures. GGBFS can either be blended with ordinary Portland cement (OPC) (up to a 90% replacement), or it can be used in the production of alkali-activated materials (AAMs). However, a comprehensive understanding of the pore solution composition is necessary for understanding various aspects of cementitious materials and their durability, including corrosion behavior, passivation of steel, and resistance to deteriorative processes. In the present work, the pore solutions of seven different GGBFS-containing cements (alkali-activated slag, alkali-activated slag/fly ash blends, a hybrid alkaline cement, CEM III/C, and CEM III/B) were extracted and analysed by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy, ion chromatography, pH, redox potential, and conductivity measurements. For comparison, a Portland cement pore solution was analysed similarly. The Concentrations of reduced sulfur were noteworthy in all GGBFS-containing cements, particularly in alkali-activated cements, where concentrations were notably higher compared to standard cements. The redox potentials of the pore solutions were primarily dictated by the concentrations of reduced sulfur, although other factors may contribute. Additionally, sulfur species in the pore solutions had an impact on pH, electrical conductivity, and other properties pertinent to the corrosion of reinforcements.

Zur Untersuchung der Stahlkorrosion in bewehrten („armierten“) Betonbauteilen werden elektrochemische Methoden wie Messungen des Freien Korrosionspotentials, des Polarisationswiderstands oder von Stromdichte-Potential-Kurven eingesetzt. Diese Methoden und die etablierten Grenzwerte zur Detektion von Korrosion sind für die Anwendung bei herkömmlichen Zementen beziehungsweise Betonen entwickelt und erprobt worden. Neue Forschungsergebnisse demonstrieren, dass Unterschiede zwischen den Porenlösungszusammensetzungen von herkömmlichen Zementen und bestimmten AAB sowie anderen schlackehaltigen Zementen erhebliche Unterschiede bei den Ergebnissen der elektrochemischen Messungen bewirken und damit zur fehlerhaften Detektion von Stahlkorrosion führen können. Ursache hierfür sind vor allem reduzierte Schwefelspezies in den Porenlösungen von AAB und anderen schlackehaltigen Zementen.

A1 - Gluth, Gregor T1 - Application of electrochemical methods for studying steel corrosion in alkali-activated materials N2 - Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are binders that can complement and partially substitute the current use of conventional cement. However, the present knowledge about how AAMs protect steel reinforcement in concrete elements is incomplete, and uncertainties exist regarding the application of electrochemical methods to investigate this issue. The present review by EFC WP11-Task Force ‘Corrosion of steel in alkali-activated materials’ demonstrates that important differences exist between AAMs and Portland cement, and between different classes of AAMs, which are mainly caused by differing pore solution compositions, and which affect the outcomes of electrochemical measurements. The high sulfide concentrations in blast furnace slag-based AAMs lead to distinct anodic polarisation curves, unusually low open circuit potentials, and low polarisation resistances, which might be incorrectly interpreted as indicating active corrosion of steel reinforcement. No systematic study of the influence of the steel–concrete interface on the susceptibility of steel to corrosion in AAMs is available. Less common electrochemical methods present an opportunity for future progress in the field.

A1 - Gluth, Gregor T1 - Pore solution compositions and redox potentials of ground granulated blast furnace slag-containing cement pastes N2 - The pore solutions of hardened ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS)-containing cements differ from the pore solutions of other cements with effects on reinforcement corrosion, application of electrochemical methods and immobilisation of radioactive waste. In the present study, the pore solutions of seven different GGBFS-containing cements (alkali-activated slag, alkali-activated slag/fly ash blends, hybrid alkaline cement (HAC), CEM III/C and CEM III/B) were extracted and their elemental and sulfate concentration, pH, redox potential and conductivity were determined; a Portland cement (CEM I) pore solution was analysed analogously. The silicon and aluminium concentrations of the alkali-activated cements increased with fly ash fraction, reaching values up to 5 mM and 10 mM, respectively, and thus were considerably higher than those of the standard cements. The redox potentials of the pore solutions of the GGBFS-containing cements were in the range from −100 mV to –500 mV vs Ag/AgCl, that is considerably lower than that of the Portland cement (8–20 mV vs Ag/AgCl), with the value depending on the GGBFS fraction and whether the cements were alkali-activated or not. These results indicate that the effects of reduced sulfur species from GGBFS in cements are more pronounced in alkali-activated materials, including HAC, and increase with GGBFS fraction.
