Abstract
surrounding concrete structure. The research work investigated the application of exudates/resin as an inhibitory substance in averting the effect of corrosion on reinforced concrete structures in the built environment of high salinity. The experimental data tests were carried out on 36 concrete cubes with the first set of 12 controlled concrete samples placed in freshwater for 360 days and the second set of 24 cubes divided into 2 with 12 uncoated samples and 12 coated samples with exudate/resin as described in the test procedure and immersed in 5% aqueous sodium chloride (NaCl) solution for 360 days, routine three months with 90-day intervals, 180 days, 270 days, and 360 days. Comparatively, the minimum and maximum values for average and percentile for failure bond loads, bond strength and maximum slip, cross-sectional reduction/increase, the diameter of rebar before /after corrosion, weight loss/gain. The listed results show reduced values with the application of lower failure loads of corroded samples compared to controlled and coated samples with closer values and higher failure loads. The calculated and comparable value for the bond strength of the controlled samples was 69.572% compared to the corroded and coated samples with -42.481% and 98.031%. The indicative count results showed a reduced value and lower failure load of corrosive samples and for samples coated with a value that increases with the reference value in the controlled sample range. In comparison, the corroded samples showed a lower slip value compared to the controlled and coated samples with a higher slip value compared to the failure status, indicating a contribution to the exudate/resin effect in the slip test. The calculation results show an indication of the effect of corrosion on failure bond load, bond strength, and maximum slip. The presence of corrosion reduces the efficiency of the material used, reduces mechanical properties, and affects the bonding and interactions between the concrete and the steel reinforcement and the surrounding concrete. The results obtained indicate that the effect of corrosion on reinforcing steel hurts the mechanical properties of the cross-sectional area, a decrease in diameter and weight loss and surface modification, thereby reducing the value of control slip and coated samples and reducing the interaction between concrete and reinforcing steel.
