Over the last 25 years, cathodic protection (CP) of reinforced concrete structures suffering from chloride induced reinforcement corrosion has shown to be successful and durable. CP current causes steel polarisation, electrochemical reactions and ion transport in the concrete. CP systems are designed based on experience, which results in conservative designs and their performance is a matter of wait‐and‐see. CP systems can be designed for critical aspects and made more economical using numerical models for current and polarisation distribution. Previously, principles of numerical calculations for design of CP systems were reported. The results were satisfactory, except in terms of current density for active corroding systems. This was suggested to be due to neglecting beneficial effects of CP current flow. One of the beneficial effects is pH increase at the steel surface due to oxygen reduction. As the pH increases, the corrosion rate decreases and the current demand decreases. A simple model was set up for this transient process, suggesting that such effects should occur on the time scale of hours to days. This model was validated from start up data of a CP field trial system on part of a bridge. Field results confirmed the modelling proposed here. 相似文献

A wide range of parameters was investigated by numerical calculations concerning their impact on DC stray current corrosion of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. A simplified model geometry was used to extract the relevant parameters and their interaction in terms of stray current-affected structures. This study mainly focuses on RC structures that are fitted with cathodic protection installations. The findings reveal a complex interaction between the investigated parameters. The possible relevance of further parameters, which is not the subject of this study, was emphasised. 相似文献

Although the complex changes at the steel–concrete interface due to cathodic polarisation are widely acknowledged to have a beneficial influence concerning the cathodic protection (CP) of steel in concrete, some questions concerning the repassivation of carbon steel in consequence of cathodic polarisation are still not satisfactorily clarified. In the recent literature, some indications are presented that repassivation occurs after a certain time of polarisation. Therefore, the investigations discussed in this paper aim to clarify, to what extent the re-passivation of carbon steel due to cathodic polarisation occurs, and if the ennoblement of OCP is a sufficient indication for repassivation. In a first step, the corrosion state of five nominal equal test specimens was determined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). After determining the initial corrosion state by evaluating the charge transfer resistance and the polarisation resistance, respectively, the specimens were polarised cathodically. Impedance data were recorded before, during and after polarisation. The impedance data were evaluated by equivalent circuit fitting with special attention to charge transfer resistances and the impact of diffusion on the corrosion and polarisation behaviour. The results indicate that the reduction of oxides and oxygen diffusion during cathodic polarisation has strong impact on the systems behaviour and that repassivation effects occur after switching off the polarisation current and during depolarisation, respectively. 相似文献

Statistical quantification of Tafel coefficients is investigated in this study for isolated steel rebar embedded in concrete. The survey is supported by a wide experimental campaign carried out earlier to characterize the passive and active states of carbonation‐induced corrosion of steel. Electrochemical measurements (polarization resistance, corrosion potential, Tafel coefficients) and gravimetric estimations of iron loss were regularly conducted over 417 days on 108 concrete specimens. The statistical analysis reveals that the mean value of Tafel coefficients, both cathodic and anodic, is higher under active corrosion, which seems to contradict the general tendency found for chloride‐induced corrosion, while their coefficient of variation is smaller. The statistical inference was based on the first step of distributions fitting the experimental data and then on the second step of goodness‐of‐fit tests. The most suitable of the distributions proposed were the Burr, Rayleigh, and Gamma distributions. A similar analysis was made for the corrosion potential and polarization resistance. The findings of the study will be valuable for probabilistic approaches to corrosion where probabilistic distributions are required. 相似文献

The present study reports on the investigation of conventional and pulse cathodic protection (CP), in terms of steel surface analysis and investigation of the product layers at the steel/cement paste interface, after a long term (460 days) of conditioning and monitoring. The techniques used were: X‐ray diffraction (XRD), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy‐dispersive X‐ray (EDX). Wet chemical analysis was used as supportive evidence for ion concentrations in the vicinity of the steel re‐bars. Generally, CP promotes beneficial secondary effects i.e. enhanced OH? concentration and reduced Cl? concentration near the steel surface. Cathodic polarization also results in additional deposition of portlandite, which stabilizes the protective properties of the product layer on the steel surface. Consequently, the fundamental mechanisms, underlying the efficiency of CP techniques in reinforced concrete, are strongly related to beneficial secondary effects of CP, affecting the morphology and transformations of these product layers. Since the experimental evidences to support the aforementioned beneficial effects are rather limited, this study investigates the morphology and composition of the “naturally” formed steel surface layers, along with the properties of the steel/cement paste interface, on corroding and protected steel reinforcement (in comparison to reference, non‐corroding, non‐protected conditions) after 460 days of conditioning. For the corroding specimens, the formation and substantial deposition of voluminous corrosion products, with low adherence to the steel surface is relevant (low protective ability), whereas in the protected specimens, a compact and adherent product layer of more stable high valent iron oxides, or calcium substituted such, was observed. To this end, the present work provides the experimental evidence for the fundamental mechanisms, related to the otherwise recognized positive secondary effects of CP in reinforced concrete. 相似文献

The effect of deep-sea environments on the properties of calcareous deposits was studied and we established the mapping relationship between their cathodic protection potential and the temperature (T), pressure (P), dissolved oxygen (DO), and the properties of the calcareous deposits according to the response surface methodology. This revealed that the calcareous deposits mixed with CaCO3 and Mg(OH)2 under cathodic protection. The environment including temperature, pressure, and oxygen content had various impacts on the thickness, porosity, and the ratio of Ca and Mg. Moreover, the calcareous deposits slightly decreased the cathodic protection potential. Therefore, it can be believed that the cathodic protection potential for naked high-strength steel is also approximately applicable to that covered with calcareous deposits in the deep-sea environment. 相似文献

Corrosion sensors were devised to develop a system whereby the depth of chloride permeation from concrete surfaces can be monitored non‐destructively on a real‐time basis using such sensors embedded in cover concrete of reinforced concrete structures. The proposed corrosion sensors were subjected to accelerated corrosion in NaCl solutions, mortar specimens intrinsically containing chlorides, and mortar specimens impregnated with chloride solutions, while recording the changes in the resistance readings. The resistance of sensors increased as the degree of corrosion increased. The time to the first change in the resistance decreased and the corrosion degree and resistance increased as the chloride concentration increased and as the distance from mortar surfaces decreased. It was therefore confirmed that the corrosion sensors are capable of monitoring the depth of chloride permeation with sufficient accuracy. 相似文献

Galvanic anodic protection (GAP) of stainless steels by doped polypyrrole (PPy) was investigated using chemically synthesized PPy. Separate PPy powder‐pressed electrodes with different surface areas were prepared. Electrochemical properties of PPy electrodes were studied by open circuit potentials (OCPs) and potentiostatic polarization. PPy powder‐pressed electrodes were coupled with 410‐stainless steel electrodes in different concentrations of sulfuric acid solutions, 5 M phosphoric acid solution, and industrial phosphoric acid solution (5 M phosphoric acid + 0.05% chloride ion). Remarkable shift of OCP to the positive direction and sharp decrease of corrosion rate were observed during the coupling experiments, which implies that 410‐stainless steel was transferred to passive state. Results also showed that PPy electrode with sufficient surface area can provide corrosion protection to 410‐stainless steel electrode in highly corrosive acid solution. Based on the experiment results, GAP provided by PPy and PANi (synthesized under similar conditions) was compared. 相似文献

The repair method 8.3 “Corrosion protection by increasing the electrical resistance” according to EN 1504 (or the repair principle W-Cl according to the DAfStb directive “Protection and repair of concrete building materials”) represents a technically and economically interesting method for the repair of chloride-contaminated concrete components. The coating applied as part of the repair principle prevents further water absorption of the concrete and, due to its permeability to water vapor, allows the concrete to dehydrate. Over time, this leads to an increase in the electrolytic resistance and thus to a reduction in the rate of corrosion. The article deals with the basic principles underlying this repair principle, deals with the current regulatory situation, and shows the responsibility of the expert planner. Groundbreaking studies on the effectiveness of the repair principle were carried out by Prof. Raupach, to whom this article is dedicated, and are summarized in this paper. The objective of the new studies, which build on the aforementioned research, is to establish universally accepted application limits, for example, the level of the remaining chloride concentration, for the low-risk use of this repair method. 相似文献
