Experimental Research for Steel Corrosion of Reinforced Concrete Specimens in the Splash Zone
비말대 거치 철근콘크리트 시험체의 철근부식에 관한 연구
Abstract
Reinforced concrete is in general known as high durability construction material under normal environments due to strong alkalinity of cement. Marine concrete specimens in the tidal and the splash zone at seashore have been exposed to cyclic wet and dry saltwaters which cause to accelerate corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete. If corrosion resistance of concrete gets to weaken de to carbonations and cracks in cover concrete, furthermore, concrete durability rapidly decreases by the corrosion of reinforcement steel embeded in concrete. The objective of this study is to develop appropriate corrosion protection systems of marine concrete so as to enhance the durability of concrete by establishing pertinent cover depth of concrete and by using corrosion inhibitors as concrete admixtures.
