Foreword The purpose of this technical committee report is to present state-of-the-art information on several commercially available galvanic cathod
10、ic protection/prevention systems for protecting atmospherically exposed reinforced concrete structures. A summary of these systems is presented in Appendix A. It is beyond the scope of this report to fully address all factors associated with design, criteria, implementation, quality control, cost, m
11、aintenance, and monitoring of these systems. The information contained in this report has been provided by key manufacturers of these systems and is intended as a technical resource for engineers responsible for the rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures. It may also be useful to owners, c
12、ontractors, and other practitioners related to the field of galvanic cathodic protection (CP). All information as it relates to galvanic CP is intended for atmospherically exposed concrete structures and is not applicable to concrete containing epoxy-coated reinforcing steel, galvanized, or other co
13、ated or nonferrous reinforcement. Galvanic CP has also been successfully applied to buried or submerged reinforced concrete structures; however, this aspect is not addressed in this state-of-the-art report. This NACE technical committee report was prepared by Task Group (TG) 047 on Sacrificial Catho
14、dic Protection of Reinforced Concrete Elements. This TG is administered by Specific Technology Group (STG) 01 on Concrete and Rebar. It is also sponsored by STG 05 on Cathodic/Anodic Protection. This report is issued by NACE International under the auspices of STG 01. _ *Chairman Doug Leng, Southern

NACE International 2Introduction Over the past several decades the corrosion of steel reinforcement embedded in concrete structures has received considerable worldwide attention. In theory, concrete and reinforcing steel are very compatible. They have similar
16、coefficients of thermal expansion. Concrete, because of its highly alkaline nature, creates a protective environment for the steel. Studies have shown that corrosion activity and damage result when critical quantities of aggressive ions penetrate through the concrete pore structure by diffusion and
17、other transport phenomena and reach the embedded steel reinforcement. At this time, the naturally occurring passive film developed by highly alkaline concrete becomes saturated with these ions, eventually breaking down this protective layer. In regions of low resistance, aggressive ions, mostly in t
18、he form of salts, attack the passive film and develop localized anodic sites (pits) on the surface of the steel. Immediately adjacent to these anodic sites are oxygen-rich regions that cathodically “fuel” the corrosion reaction. As active corrosion proceeds, the lower pH in and around the anodic sit
19、es reduces the passive layer in greater proportions, making it more prone to iron oxide (Fe2O3) development. Because Fe2O3(rust) is much more voluminous than solid steel, it imparts considerable tensile forces within the concrete matrix and eventually leads to cracking of the concrete cover. There a
20、re several approaches that have been used to rehabilitate concrete structures suffering from the effects of corrosion damage. The most widely used approach typically involves removing the damaged concrete in and around the affected area and replacing it to the original dimension. The principal inten
21、t of this remove-and-replace approach is to return the form and function of the structure. Although this strategy is widely used, it rarely incorporates the complete removal of contaminated areas that surround the damaged region, and is sometimes regarded as only a short-term solution. Modifications
22、 to this technique include expanding the area excavated to include sound but chloride-contaminated or carbonated concrete, or to include areas where the steel-reinforcement potential is more negative than a defined threshold. The remove-and-replace approach is normally broken into two general catego
23、ries. The first is patch repair, and the second is rehabilitation. Patch repair is a short-term solution that makes no attempt to extend the structure life, but merely restores concrete back to dimension. The rehabilitation technique attempts to return the distressed area to uniformity with the pre-
24、existing conditions and normalizes any conditions of further distress. The rehabilitation technique carries with it some expectation of an increase in service life. In some applications, a corrosion inhibitor is included either as an additive to the repair/replacement concrete mix or as a post treat
25、ment. These methods of concrete repair are much more involved than discussed in this report and are well integrated into most structure owner agencies and the civil engineering community. Alternatively, CP applies electrochemistry to halt the corrosion process or reduce it to levels below engineerin
26、g significance. Cathodic protection is an electrochemical technique used to reduce the corrosion of metallic materials. This is accomplished through the addition of a cathodic current to the metal-electrolyte system so as to increase the rate of the cathodic reaction (the formation of hydrogen H2 or
27、 hydroxide OH-) on the metal being protected, and at the same time decrease the rate of the anodic reaction (metal dissolution). The source of this cathodic current is immaterial to the protection process, and can come from direct current (DC), alternating current (AC), or galvanic sources. Definiti

NACE technical committee reports are intended to convey technical information or state-of-the-art knowledge regarding corrosion. In many cases, they discuss specific applications of corrosi

Statements used to convey this information are factual and are provided to the reader as input and guidance for consideration when applying this technology in the future. However, these statements are not intended to be recommendations
