Repairs
Steel reinforcement in good quality concrete is normally protected by a ‘passive film’ produced by the alkaline conditions generated by the hydrated cement.Corrosion of reinforcing steel may occur specifically in concrete structures which are:
- Exposed to the atmosphere
- Manufactured with chloride based admixtures
- Located in industrial areas
- Manufactured with salt contaminated water, sand or aggregate
- Located in a salt water environment
Concrete repair is almost always required when the steel reinforcing within the concrete structure reacts in the presence of water and rust begins to form, which can expand over five times the diameter of the reinforcing strand. The result is a build up of pressure that causes even the strongest to crack and eventually fall away.
WHEREVER STEEL EXISTS IN CONCRETE THERE IS ALWAYS THE POTENTIAL FOR CONCRETE SPALLING.
Steel balustrade posts embedded in a concrete balcony will eventually corrode and spall the concrete. If the corrosion is left unattended the ultimate result may also be the need to replace the entire balustrade. This can be avoided by chemical pressure injection if treated early enough.
