This review paper investigated the durability and corrosion of materials used in the construction of agricultural buildings. Even though concrete and metal were the materials of choice in the construction of farm structures, they are susceptible to corrosion and environmental degradation. Acid attacks result in the oxidation of metals and mass losses and reduced compressive strength of the metal structures. Concrete structures are degraded in high humidity environments, such as lagoons, agricultural effluents, and animal manure. Poultry, cow, and pig manure contain variable quantities of corrosion-inducing chemicals, such as sulfates, nitrates, chlorides, hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia. However, the degradation of concrete structures can be mitigated by the utilization of modified concrete containing sulfur, fly ash, silica fume, and nanoparticles such as silica. Concrete structures made of fiber-reinforced polymers are less prone to corrosion and are more durable. The design for durability has also emerged as a viable option for optimizing the service life of agricultural buildings by adhering to the exposure limits.

In recent years, geopolymers have gained a wide attention as highly ecological-friendly building materials, having a capability to cut down 70% of CO2 emissions in comparison to the ordinary cement concrete. In this study, geopolymer mortars are proposed as repair materials for reinforced concrete structures, due to their superior acid resistance, heat resistance and high strength in comparison to the existing repair materials. The objective of this study is to investigate the adhesion properties of geopolymer mortars to concrete substrates with different surface treatments, steel plates and rebars. As a result, the geopolymer mortars are found to have excellent adhesion properties to dry concrete substrates, steel plates and rebars. Concrete substrates treated with grinder, further enhanced the adhesion properties of geopolymer mortars. On the other hand, poor adhesion of geopolymer mortars to wet concrete substrates was observed due to the presence of water on the interfacial zone, which decreased the alkali concentration of the geopolymer, resulting in lower adhesion strength. In general, geopolymer mortars are found to have suitable adhesion properties to the concrete substrates, steel plates and rebars and can be applied as repair materials for reinforced concrete structures.

High Bond Strength

Repair materials for concrete structures are often required to exhibit high bond strength at a concrete substrate, and it typically consists of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) incorporating expensive admixtures at a low water-to-binder ratio. Meanwhile, cementless mortar employs alkali-activation of cementless and pozzolanic precursors such as ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) and fly ash (FA). The final product develops strength relatively faster than OPC, and its strength can be flexibly talyored by controlling the type and dosage of the activator. The present study investigates the strength development characteristic of cementles mortar for use in repair of concrete structures. Independent variables include mix proportions and curing conditions, which were chosen to optimize the performance of the cementless mortar.

In the analysis of engineering structures are usually adopt the method of fixed value, that is the practical engineering structure under load and the performance of materials used by structure shall be treated as a constant value.But, in fact, the structure of geometry size, bear the load, material parameters,computing model and so on are affected by various factors. In order to more accurately reflect the reliability problems of reinforced concrete structures, this paper, the factors above will be regarded as random variables, combining the basic theory of reliability design, through the probability analysis, in normal uselimit state reliability of reinforced concrete structures for example analysis of the influence of related parameters on the structural reliability.
