CONCRETE REMAINING SERVICE LIFE
Reinforcement corrosion of concrete structures is mainly caused by:
– Chloride Ion Content; This is possible in near sea structures or high in salt enviroments.
– Carbonation; Possible in Urban areas with high percentage of Carbon Dioxide.
The Service life of a structure can be estimated by evaluating the ingress of Chlorides and Carbon Dioxide. By applying specialized in-place testing methods, the remaining years before the corrosion process takes off in the reinforcement of the structure.
