Title in Portuguese
Vida útil de estruturas de concreto armado em ambientes marítimos.
Keywords in Portuguese
Estruturas de concreto armado (Durabilidade)
Abstract in Portuguese
O objetivo desta pesquisa é avaliar a durabilidade de uma estrutura marítima de concreto armado com 22 anos de idade contendo o histórico de sua execução, comparando seu desempenho com modelos de vida útil e normas existentes. Ao final formulou-se um novo modelo de durabilidade para estruturas de concreto armado em ambiente marítimo. Para alcançar tal objetivo a durabilidade do concreto armado é avaliada por profundidade de carbonatação do concreto, profundidade de ataque de sulfatos e profundidade de ataque de cloretos através de ensaios realizados "in loco" em uma estrutura marítima em diversos micro ambientes: zona de maré, zona de respingo e zona de névoa salina. O modelo de durabilidade desenvolvido nesta pesquisa permite estimar a vida útil de uma estrutura em ambiente marítimo desde de que construído com materiais e técnicas similares. Portanto permite projetar construções em ambientes e micro ambientes similares, estimando a vida útil e fornecendo os elementos para o planejamento de quando uma intervenção maior será necessária. É desenvolvida metodologia para avaliar a influência do grau de saturação (GS) da pasta de cimento endurecida sobre o coeficiente de difusão de cloretos. Conclui-se que esse fator apresenta uma grande influência sobre a intensidade de ataque de íons cloreto. Também foi desenvolvida metodologia para medir o GS médio da camada mais externa de uma estrutura de concreto armado em ambiente marítimo, confirmando a importância desse fator. Propõe-se estender essa pesquisa a outros ambientes marítimos da costa brasileira com o objetivo de identificar os principais fatores que influenciam no ataque ao concreto armado em ambiente marítimo, e obter dessa forma, maior confiabilidade nos modelos existentes ou formular novos modelos.
Title in English
Useful life of reinforced concrete structures in maritime environments
Keywords in English
Reinforced concrete structures (Durability)
Abstract in English
This study aimed to assess the durability of a 22-year-old reinforced concrete structure in a maritime environment. Information on the construction history of this structure is included, and its performance is compared with existing models for the prediction of useful life and standards. In the end, a new model to assess the durability of concrete structures is proposed. To achieve the aim of this study, the durability of reinforced concrete is checked for carbonation depth, sulfate penetration depth and chloride penetration depth in tests performed on site in different microenvironments: the tide zone, the spray zone and the salt mist zone. The durability model developed in this study allows useful life estimates of maritime structures built with similar materials and techniques to be made. In this way, constructions in similar environments and microenvironments can be designed while taking into consideration their estimated useful life. The need for major interventions in the structure can also be projected. A methodology is proposed here to assess the influence of the saturation degree (SD) of the hardened cement paste on the chloride diffusion coefficient. It was found that that this factor is a major influence on the intensity of the chloride attack. In addition, a methodology for measuring the mean SD of the outermost surface of a reinforced concrete structure in maritime environments was developed, thus attesting the importance of this factor. A proposalis made to extend this research to other maritime environments on the Brazilian coast to allow the identification of the main factors that influence the chloride attack on reinforced concrete structures in maritime environments. In this way, existing models can be improved or new models can be formulated.
