Book Evaluation of Epoxy coated Reinforcing Steel

Download or read book Evaluation of Epoxy coated Reinforcing Steel written by Wallace T. McKeel and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virginia's first installation of epoxy-coated reinforcing steel, which was opened to traffic in 1977, was evaluated during construction and through 13 years of service. It was apparent at the time of construction that the integrity of the coating application did not meet the requirements of the specifications There were many flaws and holidays in the coatings on all of the bars, and patching with a liquid epoxy compound was not effective. Although the applicability of the findings, which are based on an application that does not represent the best practice, may be limited, useful information on the durability of the coated steel and its role in protecting the deck was developed. It was found that the coated reinforcement was exposed to relatively high chloride concentrations at transverse cracks in the decks early in the life of the structures, but the decks remained in good condition throughout the evaluation period. It was concluded that despite the poor coatings, the coated reinforcing steel contributed to the deck's durability by providing enhanced protection at critical cracked sections. Rebars taken from deck cores showed no signs of rusting, although the steel had a dull dark gray finish that may be underfilm corrosion. No debonding of the coating was evident.

Book Steel Corrosion in Concrete

Download or read book Steel Corrosion in Concrete written by Arnon Bentur and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1997-10-09 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poor durability of concrete is a major cause of problems in modern building and civil engineering structures in all countries: the annual cost of investigating and repairing deteriorating reinforced concrete structures runs into many millions of pounds. This book explains the fundamentals of the corrosion of steel in concrete. It is comprehensive and provides a basis for the practising engineer to design concrete structures which avoid the problem using modern concepts and specifications. A limited discussion of corrosion measurement and repairs is also provided.

Book Performance Assessment of Concrete Structures and Engineered Barriers for Nuclear Applications

Download or read book Performance Assessment of Concrete Structures and Engineered Barriers for Nuclear Applications written by Valérie L'Hostis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main outcomes of RILEM TC-226-CNM are summarized in this book. Key input was provided by researchers from countries that are main contributors in the R&D, design, construction, operation, and regulation of waste nuclear reinforced concrete facilities. Nuclear power plants and many of the facilities and structures used for the management of radioactive waste materials generated by the fuel cycle use concrete in their construction. RILEM TC 226 CNM covered several areas including functional and performance requirements for concrete structures; degradation processes; phenomenological modelling, field experiences, tests approaches, instrumentation and monitoring methods dedicated to performance assessments; service-life models; aging Management of Nuclear Power Plants, repair techniques; codes and standards specific to radioactive waste facilities.

Book Effectiveness of Epoxy Coated Reinforced Steel

Download or read book Effectiveness of Epoxy Coated Reinforced Steel written by Kenneth C. Clear and published by . This book was released on 1992-11-01 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary function of an eposy-coating is to act as a barrier to prevent corrosion-causing chloride ions and oxygen from reaching steel surfaces. For more than a decade, epoxy-coated reinforcing steel has generally been effective in reducing or preventing chloride-induced corrosion in bridges and other concrete structures. Recently, however, instances of corrosion problems or premature failures in Florida, Oregon and New York have focussed attention on the product and its quality. This report was initiated as a result of the questions raised by these failures.

Book Controlling Concrete Degradation
