Recently, there have been many reported cases of early re-deterioration occurring in partially-repaired con crete structures. In order to clarify the mechanism causing this phenomenon, the deterioration of reinforced concrete speci mens under salt attack was simulated and then remedial maintenance operations such as section restoration and surface coating was performed. After maintenance, the specimens were then exposed to both inland and marine conditions, and various experiments and measurements were conducted to clarify the mechanism of re-deterioration. This paper reports the results from 5 year, continually exposed specimens as part of a collaborative research project.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
