[0002] In the field of durability research of concrete structures in seawater environment, although a lot of achievements have been made in corrosion mechanism, repair, protection and durability design at home and abroad, due to the complexity of the problem, the current structural design standards can only indirectly reflect the requirements of the structure for service life through concrete proportion, protective layer thickness and other structural measures. For projects with complex service environments such as desalination plants, it is extremely important to dynamically obtain information feedback on key parameters of structural durability. Therefore, a series of online monitoring methods are needed to grasp the service status of concrete structures in real time, provide important basis for the protection and repair of the project, and ensure the safe operation of facilities in harsh environments.
[0003] At present, the structural design standards for desalination plants can only indirectly reflect the requirements for the service life of the structure through the concrete mix ratio, protective layer thickness and other structural measures. Existing technology cannot achieve effective monitoring. Summary of the invention

According to the size of the structure and components to be measured, a grid with an interval of 10cm can be used, and the potential measuring points are arranged at the nodes of the grid; then use the steel bar detector to detect the distribution of steel bars, chisel out the steel bars at the appropriate position, connect one end of the wire to the negative terminal of the steel bar corrosion instrument, and the other end to the steel bars in the concrete; the steel bar surface at the connection should be derusted or cleaned of dirt to ensure the effective connection between the conductor and the steel bar; the steel bars or steel mesh in the measuring area must be connected to the steel bar. The steel bars at the connection form an electrical path; then connect the instrument and check various interfaces to ensure that the instrument has good contact; one end is connected to the positive input terminal of the steel corrosion instrument, and the other end of the wire is connected to the copper and copper sulfate half-cell. The concrete in the test area should be fully soaked in advance; about 2% household liquid detergent can be added to drinking water to prepare a conductive solution, which is sprayed on the concrete surface of the test area to ensure good coupling between the instrument and the concrete surface; finally, each measuring point is tested in turn according to the test area number. In order to ensure that the porous plug of the half-cell forms an electrical path with the concrete surface, the adsorbent on the surface of the electrical connection pad should be removed in time during the test process;
[0043] When processing test data, the influence of temperature should be considered. When the test environment temperature is outside (22±5)℃, the potential value of the test point should be corrected according to the following formula:
[0044] When T≥27℃,

[0048] Where, V is the corrected potential value, accurate to 1m V; VR —Test potential value, accurate to 1m V; T—temperature, accurate to 1°C; 0.9—coefficient (mV / °C);
[0049] The detection equipment is GECOR 6, which has three main components, the host and two independent sensors; the host LG-ECM-06 controls the system, collects and processes data; sensor A measures the steel bar corrosion current density icorr (μA / cm 2 ), steel corrosion potential Ecorr and concrete resistance; sensor B measures the resistivity of concrete, relative humidity and temperature of the surrounding environment;
[0050] During the on-site inspection, select an appropriate location and expose the steel bars in the column by 1 to 2 cm so that the host, sensor and the steel bars to be tested form a loop. Before the inspection, it is necessary to understand the distribution of the steel bars in the entire column, check the drawings to obtain the distribution and diameter of the steel bars, and use the steel bar detection instrument to detect the specific location of the steel bars in the concrete column. The surface area of the steel bars needs to be input during the inspection, from which
[0051]
[0052] Where, 10.5 is the diameter range that the sensor can detect (cm); n is the number of layers of steel bars. When the number of layers of steel bars exceeds 3, only the influence of 2 layers of steel bars is considered; Di is the diameter of the steel bar to be measured (cm), which can be obtained from the drawing or the steel bar diameter measuring instrument;
[0053] Within a certain frequency range, by applying low voltage and small amplitude sinusoidal alternating current to the test material, its output response is measured and the corresponding impedance data is obtained, so as to study the corrosion of concrete by sludge, and repair it through the protective and repairing integrated repair mortar to achieve comprehensive improvement of durability;
[0054] Impressed current cathodic protection is used to avoid or weaken the occurrence of corrosion reactions. The seawater flotation tanks in desalination plants are alternately wet and dry, and the concentration of seawater varies greatly. The alternation of wet and dry will enhance the capillary absorption of salt and lead to structural degradation. Therefore, not only should monitoring be done well, but protection should also be done at the same time. Impressed current cathodic protection is used to avoid or weaken the occurrence of corrosion reactions.
[0055] In the present invention, usually, the durability monitoring is mainly to monitor the corrosion condition of the steel bars in the structure. Since the operating conditions of the seawater desalination plant are relatively special, in order to enable the structure to better resist the erosion of high-concentration seawater, a steel mesh is added to the protective layer to increase the strength and durability. Since the steel mesh is located relatively close to the outside and is more susceptible to corrosion, it is necessary to detect the corrosion condition of the steel mesh. The corrosion condition of the steel mesh can be quickly obtained by using the half-cell potential method. In this way, not only can the corrosion of the steel bars inside the concrete be monitored, but also the corrosion problem of the outer steel mesh can be well grasped, thereby comprehensively evaluating the durability of reinforced concrete.
[0056] This project integrates monitoring, simulation and repair, comprehensively evaluates the durability of the desalination plant, and comprehensively improves its durability. It has obvious innovations and improvements in structural corrosion monitoring, the establishment of simulation models and the comprehensive improvement of durability. This integrated monitoring and protection system will save a lot of money for later maintenance, and the various technologies used and related engineering experience will also be well promoted.
[0057] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
