Topic 1: Deciphering Distress
Corrosion Evaluations for Aging Concrete Infrastructure
Best Suited for:
- Structural Engineers, Civil Engineers, Asset Managers, and Construction Professionals
Case Studies Included!
Visual Inspection and Condition Assessment:
- Developing a systematic inspection methodology.
- Identifying common signs of distress (cracking, spalling, delamination, efflorescence).
- Quantifying the severity of damage.
In-Depth Corrosion Evaluation:
- Understanding the mechanisms of chloride-induced and carbonation-induced corrosion.
- Material sampling.
- The importance of concrete cover depth determination.
- Using electrochemical techniques (half-cell potential, GPR, resistivity, corrosion rate testing) for corrosion mapping.
- Understanding if other concrete deterioration mechanisms (freeze-thaw damage, alkali-silica reaction, etc.) are contributing to the concrete deterioration.
Reporting and Presentation of Results:
- Combining various test procedures to identify the underlying cause of deterioration and develop an overall perspective of the condition of the structure.
