A Study on the Application of Cathodic Protection for the Repair of Marine Concrete Structure

해양콘크리트 구조물의 보수를 위한 전기방식의 응용에 대한 고찰

Recently many concrete structures have been deteriorated due to the corrosion of reinforcing steel caused by chloride attack. The chloride attack causes very rapid and serious deterioration. Therefore, It is necessary for highly reliable method to stop the corrosion. Especially, on damaged concrete, it is difficult to stop the progress of steel corrosion that has already occured in concrete. The indirect method of corrosion protection such as eliminating corrosion factors by coating would be hard to be expected for complete stop of corrosion. In this paper, we applied the cathodic protection to chloride attacked marine concrete structures and verified the effect in addition to application of cathodic protection.
