| Popis: | Laboratory investigations were performed to assess the efficacy of a proprietary ethanolamine-based corrosion inhibitor system when applied to the surface of reinforced concrete specimens that were chloride-contaminated to varying extents in the presence or absence of carbonation. The corrosion responses of embedded steel bars at various depths of cover were monitored electrochemically during a controlled programme of cyclic wetting and drying undertaken for several months prior to the inhibitor treatment and for approximately eighteen months thereafter. Gravimetric measurements of the quantities and distribution of corrosion on the steel were also made on completion of the exposure tests. Analysis of aqueous extracts from treated concrete revealed that the ethanolamine component of the inhibitor system penetrated to depths of more than 15 mm within the concrete. It was found that, for inhibitor-treated specimens, there was some reduction in the corrosion rate of pre-corroding steel at low cover depths in non-carbonated concrete with modest levels of chloride contamination. At higher levels of chloride contamination and in carbonated specimens, however, the ethanolamine-based inhibitor was apparently ineffective under the conditions investigated. |
