Concrete and other cementitious surfaces are porous materials that will allow water and soluble contaminants to penetrate the structure leading to degradation. The effects of degradation can include efflorescence, laitance and physical defects such as cracking and spalling. Waterproofing concrete can protect it from freeze/thaw cycles, increase chemical resistance, and provide protection to imbedded reinforcing steel.
Two benchmark experiments were performed by NASA and CERL. The first was performed in 1998 at the NASA KSC Corrosion Technology Laboratory and the second in 2007 in Okinawa, Japan under the leadership of CERL.
Reinforced concrete structures are subject to many types of deterioration. Many of these are visible; however, one that is not is the crevice corrosion that occurs internally at the reinforcing bars. To detect, mitigate and delay this type of insidious corrosion, a form of cathodic protection in the form of thermal sprayed coatings will be discussed. To implement this as a corrective action as well as a preventive action is the theme of this paper.
A cyclic salt-fog test was used to characterize the corrosion control of various aluminum foil coatings on rusted steel. In the maintenance of minimally prepared steel in a marine atmosphere, a properly designed coating system, containing an aluminum foil layer, would be expected to be significantly more durable than a traditional liquid applied coating.
Feathering is the process of tapering or blending-in an existing intact coating in preparation of applying a new repair coating. This industry common practice is intended to ensure good adhesion of the repair coating to the legacy coating, and to provide a seamless aesthetic transition for areas where maintenance painting is performed. There are no industry standard requirements for performing feathering, resulting in most specifications having their own unique definition.
Presents guidelines for cathodic protection of reinforcing steel in concrete structures. The guidelines are limited to impressed current cathodic protection systems for new or existing atmospherically exposed reinforced concrete and are not intended for application to prestressed concrete. Criteria described include 100 mV polarization development/decay, statistical distribution analysis, and E-log I analysis.
