What Causes Corrosion?
Concrete corrosion occurs when chemical or environmental factors cause deterioration of the concrete and the steel reinforcement within it. Harmful substances like moisture, salts, and acids can penetrate cracks or pores in the concrete, reaching the steel and causing it to rust. As the steel rusts, it expands, which leads to cracking and further damage to the concrete structure. The rate of corrosion depends on factors such as the thickness of the concrete cover over the steel, the level of exposure to harmful chemicals, and environmental conditions like temperature and humidity. To protect concrete and extend its service life, it is important to use materials and construction methods that minimize porosity and create a durable barrier against these damaging agents.
Additional considerations for every repair application:
- Employ a qualified contractor to apply and install corrosion protection materials when repairs to concrete infrastructure is needed
- Test concrete core samples for carbonation in existing structures.
- Corrosion is like cancer in concrete. Investigate, expose and remove all corrosion in existing structures to ensure long lasting restoration.
- Mechanically and / or pneumatically remove all steel corrosion before applying protection and repair materials.
- Follow ACI and ICRI recommendations to mitigate corrosion and protect steel on existing structures. Use a qualified restoration contractor to install corrosion inhibitors and compatible repair mortars.
- Be cautious of combining dissimilar metals such as aluminum and steel in contact and embedded in balcony hand rail construction because each metal has a unique electrochemical potential.
