  • modelling steel Corrosion Damage in soil environment
    Corrosion Science, 2009
    Co-Authors: Jorge L Alamilla, M A Espinosamedina, E Sosa
    Abstract:

    Abstract In this work a mathematical model to estimate the localized Corrosion Damage propagation in buried structures has been developed considering physicochemical variables of the environment observed in the field (pH, resistivity, redox potential, and electric potential at the soil–metallic structure interface). The model is based upon the concept that Damage evolution is an irreversible process. According to the results, this model provides an adequate description of Damage evolution and overcomes many of the inconveniences of other models characterized by a power function. The variability of Corrosion Damages is adequately described by the Gumbel probability distribution function, whose parameters are specified by environmental parameters. Model robustness allows the application in professional practice conditions and provides good Damage prediction by using environmental parameters typically measurable in field.

  • stochastic modelling of Corrosion Damage propagation in active sites from field inspection data
    Corrosion Science, 2008
    Co-Authors: Jorge L Alamilla, E Sosa
    Abstract:

    A stochastic model for prediction of Corrosion Damage evolution in active sites, applicable under professional practice conditions is presented here. The Damage of a material and its evolution are determined from the Damage state at a given time instant and the rate of Damage occurrence. To this end, probability density function of the Corrosion Damage depths of the system is estimated and four models to calculate Corrosion Damage velocities at localized defects are shown. Their application depends on the amount of inspection reports available. This work takes into account two settings: the first considers that the system has only one inspection report and the second assumes that there are two inspection reports; this latter setting has two variations, the first, when the same defects can be identified at both inspections, and the second, when they are not identifiable. Furthermore, the work introduces a Bayesian model that allows updating Corrosion Damage velocity on the basis of new measurements found in successive inspection reports. The stochastic model is exemplified by inspection data from a real pipeline system. Its analysis takes into account technical specifications of the system, measured depths of Corrosion defects and the number of defects. Additionally, it considers measurement errors during inspection and the variability of Corrosion phenomenon under field conditions. Model robustness lies in the fact that Corrosion Damage estimates are based on measurements reported during inspections. It implicitly considers multiple factors, such as aggressive chemical environment, microstructure composition, operating conditions (temperature, fluid velocity, etc) intervening in the Corrosion process, as well as their correlations and variability.

  • estimation of general Corrosion Damage to steel reinforced mortar using frequency sweeps of guided mechanical waves
    Insight, 2006
    Co-Authors: Benjamin L Ervin, J T Bernhard, Daniel A Kuchma, Henrique Reis
    Abstract:

    A frequency sweep from 50 to 200 kHz of guided mechanical waves has been conducted to detect and assess general Corrosion Damage in steel reinforced mortar specimens with seeded defects and in specimens undergoing accelerated Corrosion using impressed current. The sweep was conducted by primarily invoking the fundamental longitudinal mode of propagation, ie the L(0,1) mode. The change in waveform energy (indicative of attenuation) at different frequencies is presented and discussed in terms of general Corrosion Damage. The isolated effects of rebar surrounded by water and mortar are also discussed. Experimental results indicate that general Corrosion Damage can be detected and evaluated by invoking the fundamental longitudinal mode of propagation. Results are presented and discussed within the framework of a Corrosion process degradation model and service life. A review and discussion of the Corrosion process and service life analysis of reinforced concrete is also presented.

  • Estimation of Corrosion Damage to steel reinforced mortar using frequency sweeps of guided mechanical waves
    Smart Structures and Materials 2006: Sensors and Smart Structures Technologies for Civil Mechanical and Aerospace Systems, 2006
    Co-Authors: Benjamin L Ervin, J T Bernhard, Daniel A Kuchma, Henrique M Reis
    Abstract:

    A frequency sweep from 50 to 200 kHz of guided mechanical waves have been conducted to detect and assess Corrosion Damage in steel reinforced mortar specimens with seeded defects and in specimens undergoing accelerated Corrosion using impressed current. The sweep was conducted by invoking primarily the fundamental longitudinal mode of propagation, i.e., the L(0,1) mode. The decay of waveform energy (indicative of attenuation) at different frequencies is presented and discussed in terms of Corrosion Damage. Experimental results indicate that the percentage of Corrosion Damage can be detected and evaluated invoking the fundamental longitudinal mode of propagation.

  • estimation of Corrosion Damage in steel reinforced mortar using guided waves
    Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology-transactions of The Asme, 2005
    Co-Authors: Henrique Reis, Benjamin L Ervin, Daniel A Kuchma, J T Bernhard
    Abstract:

    Corrosion of reinforced concrete is a chronic infrastructure problem, particularly in areas with deicing salt and marine exposure. To maintain structural integrity, a testing method is needed to identify areas of corroding reinforcement. For purposes of rehabilitation, the method must also be able to evaluate the degree, rate, and location of Damage. Toward the development of a wireless embedded sensor system to monitor and assess Corrosion Damage in reinforced concrete, reinforced mortar specimens were manufactured with seeded defects to simulate Corrosion Damage. Taking advantage of waveguide effects of the reinforcing bars, these specimens were then tested using an ultrasonic approach. Using the same ultrasonic approach, specimens without seeded defects were also monitored during accelerated Corrosion tests. Both the ultrasonic sending and the receiving transducers were mounted on the steel rebar. Advantage was taken of the lower frequency (<250 kHz) fundamental flexural propagation mode because of its relatively large displacements at the interface between the reinforcing steel and the surrounding mortar. Waveform energy (indicative of attenuation) is presented and discussed in terms of Corrosion Damage. Current results indicate that the loss of bond strength between the reinforcing steel and the surrounding concrete can be detected and evaluated.
