Compressive strength loss and reinforcement degradations of reinforced concrete structure due to long-term exposure
Degradations due to long-term weathering actions on a reinforced concrete structure were investigated. Compressive strength and reinforcement corrosion developments of a prototype RC structure were monitored for 6 years using destructive and non-destructive tests which include periodic coring, compr...

Degradations due to long-term weathering actions on a reinforced concrete structure were investigated. Compressive strength and reinforcement corrosion developments of a prototype RC structure were monitored for 6 years using destructive and non-destructive tests which include periodic coring, compressive strength, rebound hammer, ultrasonic pulse velocity, carbonation, half-cell and tensile strength tests. Eventually, results have shown that more than a quarter of peak compressive strength can be lost within 5 years of continuous exposure. Corrosion of the exposed bars within the range of the testing period was also observed to be quite alarming. Thus, defects caused by prolonged actions of environmental factors may pose serious threats on the integrity of partially completed structures especially abandoned projects. |
