Verification of the efficiency of anti-corrosion systems for reinforced concrete constructions in a laboratory environment

摘要

Corrosion of steel constructions due to the affection of aggressive agents is one of the principal problems affecting reinforced concrete constructions. In critical cases, this phenomenon may cause static destabilisation of the construction and as a result, it is necessary to protect constructions using primary and secondary protection which significantly decreases this risk. This paper addresses the options for evaluating various types of protective anti-corrosion systems which use progressive corrosion inhibitor technology in a laboratory environment. Corrosion inhibitors efficiently slow down the course of corrosive processes on steel reinforcement and prolong the service life of building constructions. The rate of efficiency can be verified with high information capability in the laboratory by a series of testing methods.
