Abstract
The study examined the use and potency of extruded exudates/resins obtained from tree trunks. The gummy exudates/resins were applied directly to the steel reinforcement by the coatings varying their thicknesses and embeddings them into concrete beams, and studying their possible effects as an inhibitor to corrosion attacks on reinforcing steel of concrete structures built within the coastal marine region with highly acidic nature. From the flexural strength test, the maximum value was 24.64% compared to the corroded and coated sample values of -18.46% and 24.41%, respectively and the average differential and percentile range controlled (2.25kN and 2.01%), corroded (0.66kN and 1.16%), coated (2.09kN and 1.77%). The results illustrated that the reference percentage of controlled samples according to [30] was placed in fresh water and no corrosion effect was observed and was therefore used as a reference value for uncoated and coated samples immersed in a corrosive environment as described in the test program. The calculated average differential and percentile values were checked (0.01mm and 0.009%), corrosion values (0.01mm and 0.063%) and closed values (0.01mm and 0.069%). The results illustrated the effect of corrosion on the mechanical properties of reinforcing steel with a decrease in diameter, as well as a decrease in the average value and the percentage recorded from the corrosion samples, while the controlled and coated samples illustrated preserved conditions with increasing layers of different diameters of exudates/resin layer thickness. The cross-sectional area of reinforcing steel after corrosion test gives different average and percentile values of corroded values (0.02 mm and 4.84%) and coated values (0.03 mm and 1.57%). The calculated maximum comparative values for both yield and ultimate tensile strength for the controlled samples were 9.66% and 3.54% to the corroded and coated values of -7.45% and -3.7%, coated values are 9.66% and 3.86%, respectively. From the data obtained and compared, the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength values of the corroded samples illustrated a decrease in the average and percentage values for load failure with few applications. The average differential and percentile values obtained for the control were (0.01 and 1.4%), corrosion values (0.02 and 1.54%), and closed values (0.01 and 1.4%). The maximum elongation comparative value for the controlled sample was -12.92% compared to the corroded and coated sample of 20.62% and -23.82%, respectively. The average differential and percentile values obtained for the controlled samples were (0.83% and 0.77%), corrosion values (0.82% and 1.38%), and coated values (0.82% and 0.78%). In comparative, the corroded samples illustrated higher stress values and higher elongation rates, whereas the damaged state of coated samples was lower load and reduced elongation. The calculated data illustrated a decrease in the value of the corroded sample as a result of the corrosion attack, which led to a decrease in the registered weight, whereas the coated sample illustrated an increase in weight compared to the reference value of the controlled sample due to the different coating thicknesses.
