ALTERNATIVES FOR REPAIR OF CHLORIDE CONTAMINATED STRUCTURES --PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DETERIORATION AND REPAIR OF REINFORCED CONCRETE IN THE ARABIAN GULF, BAHRAIN, OCTOBER 11-13, 1987. VOLS 1 AND 2
Damage of reinforced concrete structures due to chloride-induced corrosion is common along the Arabian Gulf Coast, but also occurs frequently in countries with moderate or cold climates. Corrosion of steel reinforcement of concrete structures due to destruction of the passivation by chloride ions is a very complex process. To counteract such a complex process a thorough knowledge of corrosion processes and the effects of remedial actions is required. The paper discusses various alternatives for repair. The repair techniques include removal of damaged and contaminated areas, cleaning of rusted steel, the use of coatings and inhibitors on the cleaned steel reinforcement, various repair mortars/concretes, protective coatings or layers on the concrete surface and the application of cathodic protection. The emphasis is on repair of concrete structures in hot marine environments such as the Arabian gulf.(a) for the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 813594.
