Premature deterioration of concrete buildings and infrastructure due to corrosion of reinforcement is a severe challenge, both technically and economically. Repair-work on the public transportation infrastructure are causing significant inconveniences and delays for both the industry and the general public, and are now recognized as a substantial cost for the society. In recent years there has been an increasing interest in applying stainless steel reinforcement in concrete structures to combat the durability problems associated with chloride ingress. However, the use of stainless steel reinforcement (SSR) has so far been limited mainly due to high costs and lack of design guides and standards. In 2004 a Scandinavian group was established to cope with these challenges and a Nordic Innovation Centre project: “Corrosion resistant steel reinforcement in concrete structures (NonCor)” was formed. The present report; “Guide for the use of stainless steel reinforcement in concrete structures”, is the final document of this project. The scope of this Guide is to increase the durability and service life of concrete structures exposed to corrosive environments by focusing on two issues: • Eliminating reinforcement corrosion by examining the core of the problem, i.e. the reinforcement itself • Overcoming the technical knowledge gap for application of stainless steel reinforcement in concrete structures The foreseen users of this Guide are: • All parties involved in planning, design and construction of concrete structures to be exposed to corrosive environments, - such as marine structures, coastal-near structures and structures exposed to chloride based de-icing salts • Owners and Clients who want to reduce or solve the corrosion problem for reinforced concrete structures, in order to obtain a long service life with minimal maintenance Code: *************************************** Code: *************************************** |
