1 American University in Dubai A School of Engineering Infrastructure Sustainability and Assessment Center Service Life Assessment of Concrete Structures in the GCC Countries By Mohamad Nagi

2 Corrosive Environment

3 What is Durability Durability by definition is the ability of concrete to resist weathering action, chemical attack, and abrasion while maintaining its desired engineering properties

4 Degradation Mechanisms Physical attack Chemical attack Salt crystallization Freezing-and-thawing attack Abrasion, erosion, and cavitation Thermal damage Leaching Acid and base attack Alkali-silica reactions Delayed ettringite formation Sulfate attack Steel reinforcement corrosion

5 Degradation Mechanisms Physical attack Chemical attack Salt crystallization Freezing-and-thawing attack Abrasion, erosion, and cavitation Thermal damage Leaching Acid and base attack Alkali-silica reactions Delayed ettringite formation Sulfate attack Steel reinforcement corrosion

6 Alkali Silica Reactivity This is caused by reaction of certain aggregates with alkali in cement to form expansive gel that eventually leads to craking

7 Sulphate Attack A reaction between sulphate ions and calcium hydroxide and form gypsum and ettringite. BRE and ACI 201 Classification in UAE Low w/c ration and use of SCM

8 What is Corrosion Deterioration of a material as a result of reaction with its environment-m.g. Fontana Destructive attack of a metal by chemical or electrochemical reaction with its environment-h.h. Uhling. Metal corrode because they have a strong driving force to return to their natural state

9 Requirements for Corrosion Cathode Anode Electrolyte Electrical connection between anode and cathode

10 Definition of Anode&Cathode Loss of electrons is oxidation Gain of electrons is reduction

11 Chloride-Induced Corrosion of Steel in Concrete Cathode and anode sites co-exist on the Steel The steel is the conductor, and Concrete acts as electrolyte Passivity layer is damaged by chloride ions

15 Why Should We Care About Corrosion Why Should we Care about Corrosion Safety Conservation of Resources Cost

16 Cost of Corrosion in the GCC States-2004 Kingdom of Bahrain 0.5 B. State of Kuwait 2.17 B. Sultanate of Oman 1.3 B. State of Qatar 1.1 B. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 13.0 B. United Arab Emirates 3.7 B.

17 Environment Depletion of iron ore resources Concrete carbon foot-print
