Deterioration Investigation and Assessment
Concrete and steel are two of the most common materials used in construction. When these materials are used in conjunction with one another, they create a very strong and durable structure. However, when either of these materials begins to deteriorate, the whole structure can be compromised. Here are some steps that should be taken to mitigate any damage.
Reinforced Concrete
Evaluation and identification of deterioration mechanisms for reinforced concrete, including:
- Chloride-induced corrosion of steel-reinforced concrete
- Carbonation-induced corrosion of steel-reinforced concrete
- Influence of stray current on steel-reinforced concrete durability
Metallic Structures
Evaluation and identification of deterioration mechanisms for metallic structures, including:
- Accelerated Low Water Corrosion ALWC
- Microbial-induced or assisted corrosion
- Soil corrosivity assessment
- Crevice and pitting corrosion of stainless steel and other corrosion-resistant alloys
- Influence of stray current interaction from foreign CP, DC metro, or traction systems
- Atmospheric corrosion
- Bi-metallic corrosion
- Concentration or differential oxygenation corrosion
- Protective coating failures
