Corrosion management of concrete structures [technical note]
journal contribution
posted on 2012-11-21, 11:26 authored by Christian Christodoulou, Gareth K. Glass, John WebbThe use of sacrificial anode technologies is a rapidly growing
branch of electrochemical treatments for corrosion damaged
concrete structures. The original technologies are generally less
powerful than impressed current cathodic protection but they are
less complex to apply. The technology requires no long term
expert maintenance and is less susceptible to vandalism when
compared to impressed current systems. In general, the output of
a sacrificial anode technology cannot be adjusted to manage
corrosion risk. However, some systems have been used in both an
impressed current and a sacrificial role and future corrosion risk
may be managed by including the facility to turn the system into an
impressed current system, or by applying a brief impressed current
treatment to arrest the corrosion process. [continues...]
