Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for evaluating salt damage deterioration of a concrete structure, a method for predicting and evaluating alkali-silica reaction of a concrete structure, and an electrochemical corrosion prevention method. [Background technology]
[0002] Traditionally, concrete structures such as reinforced concrete (RC) and prestressed concrete (PC), in which reinforcing bars or prestressing steel bars are placed within concrete, have been used to construct civil engineering structures such as roads and railways, specifically bridge substructures, bridge girders, underground or semi-underground structures such as tunnels, and culverts. Reinforced concrete (RC) is a building material that combines high compressive strength with high tensile strength reinforcing bars, thereby achieving both compressive and tensile strength. Prestressed concrete (PC) is a building material in which prestressing steel bars (PC wires, PC bars, PC strands, etc.) are placed within the concrete, creating a situation in which a reverse force is applied before the load is applied to the concrete member, thereby preventing tensile stress from being generated in the concrete and suppressing cracking.
[0003] In concrete structures, salt damage can cause corrosion of the steel materials placed inside the concrete. This corrosion of the steel materials accelerates the deterioration of the concrete structure, significantly reducing its durability. Therefore, electrochemical repair methods without destruction have been proposed and implemented as methods for repairing deteriorated concrete structures (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6586000 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-227578 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] By carrying out repairs using electrochemical methods such as those disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, desalination of concrete structures can be carried out non-destructively and efficiently. However, in electrochemical methods, alkali metal ions such as sodium contained in concrete are attracted to the cathode in the concrete and accumulate around the reinforcing steel (steel), which is the cathode, and alkali-silica reaction (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "ASR") may begin. In concrete structures such as bridges, there are areas where the amount of rebar is different, so there are areas where the rebar (steel) is dense and areas where the rebar (steel) is sparse. In areas where the rebar (steel) is sparse, the amount of current per rebar surface area is high, so alkali ions accumulate in the concrete near the rebar (steel), and hydroxide ions (OH - ) is produced, creating a highly alkaline environment. As a result, when ASR accelerates, alkaline silica gel is produced, which absorbs water and expands, causing problems such as cracking, peeling, and spalling of the concrete.
[0006] Based on the above, the present invention aims to provide a salt damage deterioration evaluation method for evaluating the salt damage deterioration state of steel materials placed within the concrete of a concrete structure, a method for predicting and evaluating alkali-silica reaction (ASR) that can grasp the predictive evaluation of the progress of the alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in a concrete structure using a simple method, and an electrochemical corrosion protection method for determining the need for electrical treatment by grasping the corrosion state and the progress of ASR in a concrete structure.

The anode material 21 constituting the external electrode 20 and the steel material (internal electrode 30) buried inside the concrete 10 are each connected to wiring material 23 such as an electric cable, and by supplying DC current from a DC power supply device 24 to the wiring material 23, DC current can be passed between the external electrode 20 and the internal electrode 30.
[0042] <<Anode material>> The anode material 21 constituting the external electrode 20 may be selected from a material that is highly corrosion-resistant and conductive, such as titanium, a titanium alloy, platinum, or a metal plated with these metals.

[0043] <<Electrolyte holding material>> The electrolyte solution holding material 22 constituting the external electrode 20 may be a nonwoven fabric made of a hydrophilic material, a nonwoven fabric that has been treated to be hydrophilic, or felt. Nonwoven fabrics made from hydrophilic materials are nonwoven fabrics made from raw materials that are inherently hydrophilic, such as regenerated fibers such as rayon and cupra, and natural fibers such as cotton, and which have been subjected to a predetermined hydrophilic treatment. Hydrophilically treated nonwoven fabrics are nonwoven fabrics manufactured from synthetic fibers such as olefin-based fibers (e.g., polyethylene or polypropylene), polyester-based fibers, or polyamide-based fibers. Hydrophilic treatment can be performed by polymerizing the synthetic fibers in the presence of a compound having a hydrophilic group, such as an oxidation product of polyethylene glycol, during the synthetic fiber manufacturing process, or by treating the synthetic fibers with a metal salt such as stannous chloride to partially dissolve the surface, making them porous, and then depositing a metal hydroxide, thereby making the synthetic fibers swell or porous, and then applying capillary action to make them hydrophilic. Felt is wool or other animal fibers that have been shrunk into a sheet.

During this electrolyte solution circulation process, it is preferable to measure and monitor the pH of the electrolyte solution.

This action allows the alkaline electrolyte solution to be electro-penetrated into the concrete 10 toward the steel material side, restoring the alkalinity of the neutralized concrete 10, and the neutralized region can be made into an electrically-treated region.
