Standards and Best Practice for Surface Preparation and Coating Application of Concrete

Product Number: PB-C0M01-POD

ISBN: 978-1-57590-423-8

$190.00

Concrete surface preparation differs from surface preparation of steel, mostly due to the inherent properties of concrete.

Concrete is a non-uniform mixture of porous, permeable materials (cement, sand, stone, additives, water) with low tensile strength and often numerous cracks and defects. It will vary in properties, including moisture content, from site to site and within any site due to the batched nature of its production and installation.

Ranging from the basics of corrosion in reinforced concrete to using forensic science to determine concrete coatings failure, in this Standards and Best Practice for Surface Preparation and Coating Application of Concrete reference book, students and technicians learn problem solving via multiple case studies and technical artiles.

Standards and Best Practice for Surface Preparation of Steel Substrates

Product Number: PB-C0M05-pdf

ISBN: 978-1-57590-441-2

Author: Edited by Jean Broge

$185.00

The life of a coating depends as much on the degree and quality of surface preparation as on the selected coating system, because most coating failures can be attributed to inadequate surface preparation or lack of coating adhesion.

In this Standards and Best Practice for Surface Preparation of Steel Substrates reference book, students and technicians are provided with the basics of numerous surface preparation techniques, pertinent technical standards, and numerous case studies on how to apply the techniques and adhere to the standards.

Steel Corrosion Monitoring in Concrete Slab Using a Long Period Fiber Grating Assembly

Product Number: 51317--9272-SG

ISBN: 9272 2017 CP

Author: Fujian Tang

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

Steel corrosion in concrete structures. Accelerated corrosion tests were performed periodically and the corrosion rates at different time intervals were measured with linear polarization resistance (LPR). The change in the resonant wavelength over time was recorded using an optical spectrum analyzer (OSA).

Sustainable Concrete Repairs Using Surface Applied Corrosion Inhibitors

Product Number: 41215-887-SG

Author: Peter K. DeNicola, Dr. Neal S. Berke, Brooks E. Bucher

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Sustainable concrete repair products can extend the time in between repair cycles and increase the service life of a structure. This will discuss the fact that based on 10+ years of field and laboratory testing, organofunctional silane corrosion inhibitors are effective at corrosion mitigation, thus decreasing the frequency and extent of repairs. Evaluation on new concrete also showed a predicted increase in time to corrosion initiation when compared to untreated reinforced concrete specimens. Modeling results were verified in a 2-year laboratory study.

Synergistic Effect of Chloride, Sulfide and Thiosulfate on the SCC Behavior of Carbon Steel Welds Exposed to Concrete Pore Water under Anoxic Conditions

Product Number: 51324-20786-SG

Publication Date: 2024

The supercontainer (SC) is the current reference concept for the geological disposal of vitrified high-level nuclear waste and spent fuel in Belgium. It comprises a prefabricated concrete buffer that completely surrounds a carbon steel overpack. Welding is being considered as the final closure technique of the carbon steel overpack in order to ensure its water tightness. Welding is known to induce residual stresses in the weld zone and its vicinity, which may lead to an increased susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking (SCC). In this study, slow strain rate tests were conducted to study the SCC behavior of plain and welded UNS K02700 grade carbon steel exposed to an artificial concrete pore water solution that is representative for the SC concrete buffer environment. The tests were performed at 140 °C, at a constant strain rate of 5·10-7 s-1 and at open circuit potential under anoxic conditions. The synergistic effect of chloride, sulfide and thiosulfate on the SCC behavior of carbon steel was investigated up to levels of 35,000 mg?L-1 Cl-, 500 mg?L-1 S2- and 600 mg?L-1 S2O32-. In all the tested electrolyte solutions, none of the studied steel configurations, including welded and heat-affected zone materials, were found to be susceptible to SCC.

The Effect of Long-Term Exposure Conditions on the Concrete Resistivity of Polymer-Modified Concrete Repair Mortars

Product Number: 51323-18842-SG

Author: Martin Cheytani, Sammy Lap Ip Chan

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

In the rectification process of reinforced concrete structures, one of the primary considerations made is the selection of concrete repair methodology and repair products. The suitability of concrete repair products is determined by the structure’s function, and some of the main technical aspects which are considered include compressive strength, bond strength, shrinkage and expansion, tensile strength, chemical resistance, and flow characteristics.

Unique Application of an Epoxy Repair Gel to Eliminate Draft Tube Surface Wear and Cavitation, potentially Improving Turbine Power Generation Efficiency

Product Number: 41216-976-SG

Author: Norm Klapper

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

A unique project was completed in Mid-2014 at the Powerhouse #3, Turbine Unit #23 refurbishment, Grand Coulee Dam, located in Washington State. The project scope includes a complete overhaul of the turbine bearings, windings, and critical components. As part of the overall scope, the contractor was charged with the task of coating the entire draft tube surface with an epoxy gel. The Bureau of Reclamation, based in Denver, Colorado, had conducted a site survey which indicated severe wear lines, which result in cavitation and the accompanying backpressure on the exiting water outflow to the Columbia River.

Use of Atlas Test Cells to Assess the Performance of Coatings with Varied Permeance over Concrete Masonry Units (CMU)

Product Number: 41212-695-SG

Author: Cindy O’Malley, Chuck Duffin, Steve Revnew

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

The permeance of coatings applied to the walls of Single Wythe concrete masonry units (CMU) can affect the long-term performance of the coating system, especially after multiple repaints. This paper describes the results of a study to determine if the Atlas Cell Test (NACE TM0174/ASTM C868) can be modified to evaluate the performance of individual coating systems based upon permeance.
