A joint research project was accomplished by ibac and BAM with the aim to develop a numerical model
of cathodic protection (CP) of reinforced concrete with a special focus on CP of the rear reinforcement
layer. The model was intended to include the effects of chemical alterations within the concrete and the
steel concrete interface, which are induced by long-term application of CP. The investigations presented
in this paper focus on the migration of chloride ions due to small electric fields as applied during cathodic
protection of steel in reinforced concrete structures and its impact on polarisation characteristics. A
comparatively new method, laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), was used to determine
chloride profiles on laboratory specimens in order to investigate one of several model parameters to
describe cathodic protection of the rear reinforcement of reinforced concrete structures. These
investigations are described elsewhere, [1].
The paper focuses on long term polarisation tests and their impact on the charge depending cathodic
polarisation behaviour of laboratory specimens.
Cathodic protection (CP) is a common method for rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures suffering from Chloride induced corrosion. A sufficient protection of the corroding rebar can be ensured by use of several protection criteria. The use of these assessment criteria, in particular the so called 100 mV-criterion, can lead to erroneous resuits for certain unconventional arrangements of rebar and cp anode.
Therefore a joint research project of the Institute for Building Materials Research, RWTH-Aachen University, Germany, (ibac) and the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, Berlin, Germany, (BAM) has been set up to determine the applicability of CP under arbitrary geometrical conditions. A special focus was set on the applicability of surface applied anode Systems for protection of the reinforcement of structures opposite to the accessible side (e.g. outer side of tunnel Shell, Bridge deck protected from inside a box girder) In this paper, the impact of the time dependent changes of the Polarisation behaviour of the rebar on the current and potential distribution is shown by means of parametric studies using the FEM method.
In vielen Konstruktionen erfordern unterschiedliche Eigenschaftsanforderungen an Komponenten und Bauteile häufig die Kombination verschiedener metallischer Werkstoffe. In der Praxis sind aber auch sogenannte Zufallskombinationen häufig anzutreffen, bei denen die Kombination allein durch die momentane Verfügbarkeit z.B. eines Befestigungsmittels oder eines Zwischenstückes zustande kommt. Unter bestimmten Einsatzbedingungen kann eine solche Kombination, die auch unter dem Begriff Mischbauweise bekannt ist, zu Korrosionsproblemen an einem der beiden Partner führen. Die Grundlagen und Einflussgrößen auf die Bimetallkorrosion werden dargestellt und deren praktische Bedeutung anhand von Beispielen verdeutlicht.
Investigations of corrosion on small cathodes in reinforced concrete - observations and suggestions
(2009)
Corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete exposed to chloride containing environments is a serious
problem in civil engineering practice. The standards and guidelines contain only minimum
requirements regarding concrete quality and concrete cover. In very critical cases, for example the
ingress of chlorides, the application of different coatings is currently the only possibility to protect the
reinforced concrete structures. In this case the modelling of reinforcement corrosion would be more
practical. One sub-project of a DFG-research project (FOR 537) is currently performed at the Federal
Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM). Aim of the sub-project is the description of
corrosion propagation and the characterization of the corrosion on specimens with small cathodes by
electrochemical parameters. The electrochemical parameters are determined by suitable
electrochemical measurements, considering concrete parameters as well as different environmental
conditions.
Corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete exposed to chloride containing
environments is a serious problem in civil engineering practice. Electrochemical
methods, e.g. potential mapping, provide information whether the steel reinforcement
is still passive or depassivation has been initiated. By applying such techniques no
information on the type of corrosion, its extent and distribution of corrosion products
is available. Particular the corrosion progress is a significant problem. Especially in
the case of element corrosion in reinforced concrete structures, the development at
the anode can not be separated into corrosion damage causing by element corrosion
or self-corrosion. Until now also in laboratory tests it is impossible to collect such
information without destroying specimens after electrochemical testing was
performed place. To overcome this problem it was tried to study the steel surface
within the mortar specimens by X-ray tomography (CT). Within the scope of these
investigations it could be shown, that X-ray tomography is suitable to make corrosion
pits visible which are embedded in a mortar with a cover thickness of about 35 mm.
In this publication the corrosion damage of reinforced steel is documented timedependent
by X-ray tomography.
