A. Koleva, Auteur ; Z. Guo, Auteur ; K. van Breugel, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 561–567 Note générale : Génie mécanique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : permeability  porosity  pore size  reinforced concrete  steel/cement paste interface Résumé : Although rarely considered, especially within the investigation of steel corrosion phenomena or electrochemical protection techniques in reinforced concrete structures, the concrete bulk matrix has a significant contribution in the global performance of the system “reinforced concrete.” This is especially the case when chloride-induced corrosion or electrical current flow [as within impressed current cathodic protection (CP)] are involved. In the latter cases, the concrete bulk matrix undergoes significant alterations in chemical composition, electrical properties, and microstructures, thus influencing the overall performance of the system. This work reports on the microstructural investigation of the bulk concrete matrix and the steel/cement paste interface in reinforced concrete, previously subjected to corrosion and CP for 460 days. The emphasis hereby is to evaluate the altered structural properties, i.e., porosity, pore size, permeability of the bulk cement matrix, and the steel/cement paste interface (translated to bond strength) as a result of chloride-induced corrosion and two types of CP (conventional and pulse), compared to control (non-corroding, non-protected) conditions. The research revealed a major contribution and close dependence of all microlevel interfaces on the global performance of reinforced concrete. The electrical current flow (as in CP applications) was found to bring about unfavorable modifications to the material structure, both in the bulk matrix (reducing porosity) and at the steel/cement paste interface (enlarging interfacial gaps). The derived microstructural parameters show that the conventional CP leads to a higher level of structural heterogeneity, whereas the pulse CP exerts minimal or no effects, maintaining the material properties close to the reference (control) conditions, the underlying mechanism being a more homogeneous material microstructure.
