Durability enhancement and mechanical properties of concrete beams after electrochemical rehabilitation
Electrochemical rehabilitation technology is an effective method to improve the durability of chloride ion contaminated concrete structures. However
negative effects such as reduction of bonding performance
pore structure changes of concrete
and hydrogen embrittlement of steel bar are induced simultaneously
leading to the service performance deterioration of the monolithic component. In order to explore the durability enhancement and mechanical properties of concrete beams after electrochemical chloride extraction and bidirectional electromigration
the corrosion resistance properties of concrete beam after electrochemical rehabilitation were analyzed by combining chloride ion content gradient and potentiodynamic polarization curves
and the static mechanical properties were investigated through load-deflection curves
strain of steel and concrete
and crack distribution of concrete. Results show that electrochemical rehabilitation could effectively remove the surface chloride ions of steel bar and restore the passivation of steel bar
but the extraction of the chloride ions inside steel cage was difficult. When small electrification parameters were selected
electrochemical rehabilitation hardly affected the stiffness and load bearing capacity of the beam
while the bearing capacity decreased when the amount of electricity increased
and the ductility degradation became more obvious. In order to meet the requirements of durability and structural safety
it is suggested that effects of durability enhancement and impacts on mechanical properties deterioration should be comprehensively taken into consideration when selecting electrification parameters for electrochemical rehabilitation.
