Health Monitoring of Reinforcement In Concrete Piers In A Barrage Project
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Useful life of any barrage project depends on functional stability of the concrete piers. The piers are constructed using concrete of different grades. Its durability is dependent on various factors viz. speed of running water, its aggressively, temperatures fluctuations etc. The endurance capacity of these piers against these adverse conditions is goes on reducing with passage of time. Gradually permeability of concrete increases which causes corrosion of reinforcement thus weakening of concrete.Once such a phenomenon is observed in any such structures a vigilant periodic monitoring approach becomes mandatory. The suitable remedial measure to be adopted will depend on the observed degree of deterioration. In this paper effort has been made to diagnose degree of corrosion of reinforcement in the piers of a barrage project using Half Cell Potentiometer.
