Potentialfeldmessung (PM) ist die beliebteste Methode der Zerstörungsfreien Prüfung (ZfP) zur Lokalisierung von aktiver Betonstahlkorrosion. PM wird durch Parameter wie z. B. Feuchtigkeits- und Chloridgradienten im Bauteil beeinflusst, so dass die Sensitivität gegenüber der räumlich sehr begrenzten, aber gefährlichen Lochkorrosion gering ist. Wir zeigen in dieser Studie, wie zusätzliche Messinformationen mit Multisensor-Datenfusion genutzt werden können, um die Detektionsleistung zu verbessern und die Auswertung zu automatisieren. Die Fusion basiert auf überwachtem maschinellen Lernen (ÜML). ÜML sind Methoden, die Zusammenhänge in (Sensor-) Daten anhand vorgegebener Kennzeichnungen (Label) erkennen. Wir verwenden ÜML um „defekt“ und „intakt“ gelabelte Bereiche in einem Multisensordatensatz zu unterscheiden. Unser Datensatz besteht aus 18 Messkampagnen und enthält jeweils PM-, Bodenradar-, Mikrowellen-Feuchte- und Wenner-Widerstandsdaten. Exakte Label für veränderliche Umweltbedingungen wurden in einer Versuchsanordnung bestimmt, bei der eine Stahlbetonplatte im Labor kontrolliert und beschleunigt verwittert. Der Verwitterungsfortschritt wurde kontinuierlich überwacht und die Korrosion gezielt erzeugt. Die Detektionsergebnisse werden quantifiziert und statistisch ausgewertet. Die Datenfusion zeigt gegenüber dem besten Einzelverfahren (PM) eine deutliche Verbesserung. Wir beschreiben die Herausforderungen datengesteuerter Ansätze in der zerstörungsfreien Prüfung und zeigen mögliche Lösungsansätze.
An important aspect with regard to the service life of zinc based galvanic anodes and the durability of the corrosion protection of steel in concrete is the “galvanic chloride extraction”. Chloride ions move in the electric field generated by the current, flowing between the galvanic anode and the cathodic steel. Migration leads to an accumulation of anions, e.g. chloride ions, at the anode and depletion of chlorides near the steel rebar surface. The ion migration was studied on steel reinforced concrete specimens admixed with 3 wt.% chloride/wt. cement and galvanically protected by a surface applied embedded zinc anode (EZA). The zinc anode was embedded and glued to the concrete surface by a geo-polymer based chloride free binder. The EZA was operated over a period of 1 year and the ion distribution between anode (EZA) and cathode (steel reinforcement) was studied by laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) after 5 months, 7 months and 12 months. The results show that chloride ions efficiently migrate in the direction of the zinc-anode and accumulate there. Chloride distribution in the EZA correlates with the distribution of zinc ions generated by the anodic dissolution of the zinc anode in the binder matrix. The microstructure of the binder matrix and its interface to the zinc-anode are studied by REM/EDX – preliminary results will be reported.
Recently, non-destructive testing in civil engineering (NDT-CE), in particular of concrete components, has successfully mastered the leap from research to practice. Several methods have been established for field inspections to determine the concrete cover of reinforcement or to estimate the compressive strength as well as other parameters related to the concrete material. In addition, the application of nondestructive testing is indispensable, if information about the inner structure - such as the location of rebars and tendon ducts or the damage-related condition assessment to detect grouting defects, honeycombs, delamination, or corrosion - is required. Besides the selection of a suitable NDT method and an appropriate inspection system, the reliability of the results depends largely on the person who applies the non-destructive inspection technique and evaluates the inspection results. To ensure a high quality of non-destructive concrete evaluation as well as to keep the uncertainty caused by the inspection personnel to a minimum, structured, consistent and regulated theoretical as well as practical training of inspection personnel is essential. To close this gap, the subcommittee of education (UA-A) within the committee for NDT-CE of the German Society for Nondestructive Testing (DGZfP) has been reactivated in 2018 to establish uniform training standards for nondestructive concrete inspections in the long term. The subcommittee consists of scientists, practitioners, authorities, and clients. So far, the national standard DIN 4871 “Non-destructive testing - Qualification and Certification of NDT personnel in Civil Engineering (NDT-CE)” was developed and is currently under review. This standard considers the civil-industry-specifics, for example, that standards for NDT of concrete, as well as related product standards with a few exceptions, still do not exist at the moment. Within this presentation, the concept, the connection to ISO 9712 and other standards as well as an overview of the developed German standard DIN 4871 will be presented.
Galvanic corrosion protection by embedded zinc anodes is an accepted technique for the corrosion protection of reinforcing steel in concrete. Galvanic currents flow between the zinc anode and the steel reinforcement due to the potential difference that is in the range of a few hundred mV.
The ion distribution was studied on two steel reinforced concrete specimens admixed with 3 wt.% chloride/wt. cement and galvanically protected by a surface applied EZ-anode. On both specimens, a zinc anode was embedded and glued to the concrete surface by a geo-polymer-based chloride-free binder. At one specimen, the EZ-anode was operated for 2,5 years, the EZ-anode at the other specimen was not electrically connected to the reinforcement, this specimen serves as a reference. Both specimens have been stored under identical conditions. The ion distribution between the anode (EZ-ANODE) and cathode (steel reinforcement) was studied by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) after 7 months, 12 months, and 2,5 years. Results of the LIBS studies on the specimen with activated EZ-anode after 7 months, 12 months, and 2,5 years and of the reference specimen after 2,5 years are reported. Results show that diffusion of ions contributes to the changes in the ion distribution but migration, especially of chlorides towards the EZ-anode is significant despite the weak electric field – several hundred millivolts - generated by the galvanic current. Results show that chloride ions accumulate near the zinc-anode as in water-insoluble zinc-hydroxy chlorides - Simonkollite.
The development of alkali‐activated materials (AAMs) as an alternative to Portland cement (PC) has seen significant progress in the past decades. However, there still remains significant uncertainty regarding their long term performance when used in steel‐reinforced structures. The durability of AAMs in such applications depends strongly on the corrosion behaviour of the embedded steel reinforcement, and the experimental data in the literature are limited and in some cases inconsistent. This letter elucidates the role of the chemistry of AAMs on the mechanisms governing passivation and chloride‐induced corrosion of the steel reinforcement, to bring a better understanding of the durability of AAM structures exposed to chloride. The corrosion of the steel reinforcement in AAMs differs significantly from observations in PC; the onset of pitting (or the chloride ‘threshold’ value) depends strongly on the alkalinity, and the redox environment, of these binders. Classifications or standards used to assess the severity of steel corrosion in PC appear not to be directly applicable to AAMs due to important differences in pore solution chemistry and phase assemblage.
Tests for assessing prestressing steels' susceptibility to hydrogen‐induced stress corrosion cracking are essential for approvals, in‐house monitoring, and third‐party material testing. According to ISO 15630‐3, the time to brittle fracture by constant load under corrosive conditions in thiocyanate test solutions (A or B) at 50°C is measured. In the literature, a high scattering in stress corrosion tests is reported, which questions the integrity of the test procedure. This paper shows the results of studies about the influence of solution composition on hydrogen charging in electrochemical and permeation measurements. Electrochemical experiments show that polished steel surfaces without common drawing layers have more consistent free corrosion currents, polarization resistances, and B‐values in solution A with low scattering compared to the solution B experiments. The influence of temperature at 50°C and an ambient temperature of 22°C was also tested.
Die Feuerverzinkung von Betonstahl stellt auf der Grundlage der im Stahlbetonbau geltenden Regelwerke eine zusätzliche Maßnahme zur Steigerung der Dauerhaftigkeit insbesondere bei Korrosionsbeanspruchung infolge Karbonatisierung und/oder Chlorideinwirkung dar. Anders als im Ausland ist die Anwendung von feuerverzinktem Betonstahl in Deutschland bisher kaum verbreitet.
Im Rahmen des AiF-Forschungsprojekts IGF 499 „Technologie- und Sicherheitszuwachs bei der Anwendung von feuerverzinktem Betonstahl zum Ausbau einer nachhaltigen Marktposition im Stahlbetonbau“ sollten die einem breiteren Einsatz feuerverzinkter Betonstähle in Deutschland bisher entgegenstehenden offenen Fragestellungen beantwortet werden.
