Based on the results of many research years on concrete carbonisation: both immediately after manufacture (using heat-moisture treatment) and in reinforced concrete elements operated for the periods of various length (in an open atmosphere); the effect of carbonisation on the change in the protective properties of concrete in relation to steel reinforcement; for determination of the dependence of the corrosion state of steel reinforcement on the degree of concrete carbonisation in the area of steel reinforcement; the obtained regression dependences of the change (by time in the cross section) of the degree of concrete carbonisation of various classes in strength, – the analysis of the time of the onset of the boundary values of the degrees of concrete carbonisation (strength classes C12/15–C30/37) for the operating conditions of the open atmosphere was performed. Based on it, the regression dependences of the time variation of the depth of corrosion damage of steel reinforcement were construed (for fixed thicknesses of the concrete protective layer). The obtained nature of dependences made it possible to offer, in a general form, the regression dependences of the depth of corrosion damage and corrosion rate of steel reinforcement for concretes (strength classes C12/15–C30/37) for operating conditions in open atmosphere.

The resistance properties of reinforced concrete and reinforcement, required for modeling the degradation and calculations of the durability of reinforced concrete elements under the conditions of various types of corrosion damage, based on analytical and experimental data are substantiated. A probabilistic model has been developed for predicting and estimating the durability and reliability of reinforced concrete elements, taking into account the statistical variability of the calculation parameters and the kinetics of degradation processes during long periods of operation. Methods are proposed for calculating and predicting the durability of reinforced concrete elements based on deterministic probabilistic models of degradation of structural elements operating under aggressive environmental influences.

In the framework of ultimate state calculation methods the paper presents some propositions for stress-strain state, crack resistance analysis and failure state of reinforced concrete structures with corrosion damage at supports. The work concerns the durability of concrete and reinforced concrete elements with corrosion damage. The theory for reinforced concrete with corrosion damage is presented for plane stress state

Состояние проблемы. Железобетонные элементы изготавливаются, как правило, по трем основным технологиям - вибрированием, центрифугированием и виброцентрифугированием. Однако все основные расчетные зависимости для определения их несущей способности выведены, исходя из основного постулата - постоянства и равенства характеристик бетона по сечению, что реализуется лишь в вибрированных колоннах. Результаты. В рамках диаграммного подхода предложены итерационный, приближенный и упрощенный способы расчета несущей способности железобетонных вибрированных, центрифугированных и виброцентрифугированных колонн. Выводы. Расчет по диаграммному подходу показал существенно более подходящую сходимость с опытными данными, чем расчет по методике норм, а также дал лучшие результаты при использовании дифференциальных характеристик бетона, чем при использовании интегральных и, тем более, нормативных характеристик бетона. Statement of the problem. Reinforced concrete elements are typically manufactured according to three basic technologies - vibration, centrifugation and vibrocentrifugation. However, all the basic calculated dependencies for determining their bearing capacity were derived using the main postulate, i.e., the constancy and equality of the characteristics of concrete over the cross section, which is implemented only in vibrated columns. Results. Within the framework of the diagrammatic approach, iterative, approximate and simplified methods of calculating the bearing capacity of reinforced concrete vibrated, centrifuged and vibrocentrifuged columns are proposed. Conclusions. The calculation according to the diagrammatic approach showed a significantly better convergence with the experimental data than that using the method of norms, and also performs better when using differential characteristics of concrete than when employing integral and particularly standard characteristics of concrete.

Corrosion of the reinforcement is a major degradation mechanism affecting durability and safety of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. As the corrosion process starts internally, it can take years before visual damage can be noticed on the surface, resulting in an overall degraded condition and leading to large financial costs for maintenance and repair. The acoustic emission (AE) technique enables the continuous monitoring of the progress of internal cracking in a non-invasive way. However, as RC is a heterogeneous material, reliable damage detection and localization remains challenging. This paper presents extensive experimental research aiming at localizing internal damage in RC during the corrosion process. Results of corrosion damage monitoring with AE are presented and validated on three sample scales: small mortar samples (scale 1), RC prisms (scale 2), and RC beams (scale 3). For each scale, the corrosion process was accelerated by imposing a direct current. It is found that the AE technique can detect damage earlier than visual inspection. However, dedicated filtering is necessary to reliably localize AE events. Therefore, AE signals were filtered by a newly developed post-processing protocol which significantly improves the localization results. On the smallest scale, results were confirmed with 3D micro-CT imaging, whereas on scales 2 and 3, results were compared with surface crack width measurements and resulting rebar corrosion levels.
