Comments (CN; te/ge):(1) The definition shall be written in such a form that
it can replace the term in its context. It shall not end with a full stop. (2)
Circular definition, which repeat the term being defined. It is not allowed.
(3)“Service life” normally stands for the period which various properties of
the structure can meet the requirements of reliability. The onset of corrosion
of the steel does not mean the end of service life of the structure.

Proposed change: The causes add to the sentence.

Answer: Amended for the definition for the service life as follows:

service life can be defined as the time for the reinforced concrete structure to
reach the limitation of appropriate behaviour arising from corrosion of steel
reinforcement. As the standard and threshold for appropriate structural
behaviour may not indicate however a quantitative value such as the time to
cracking at the steel-concrete interface, surface cracking, or a reduction of the
maximum load, the service life for reinforced concrete structure under the
risk of corrosion of steel can be defined as the time for the steel reinforcement
to reach

Comments (JP; te): There are many other causes of “pH fall of cover
concrete” such as chemical attack and Ca leaching. How should we consider
them?

Proposed change: The causes add to the sentence.

Answer: corrected as commented.

a pH fall of cover concrete (i.e carbonation and leaching-out of alkali ions

such as Ca) (4.1)

Comments (JP; te): linear polarisation technique is also a lab-based

technique.

Proposed change: “However, it is usually used in laboratory to date” should

be added at the end of the sentence (4) as well as (5).

Answer: corrected as commented.

(4) Linear polarisation technique provides quantitative information on the

status for steel corrosion. It takes about 0.1-0.5 hours to achieve data for the
status of steel corrosion at a single steel reinforcement. However, it is usually
used in laboratory to date.(5.2.2)

Comments (JP; te): Prevention and repair techniques should be categorized

in terms of objectives of countermeasures considering mechanism of
corrosion. Names of specific countermeasures are better to be given as
examples.

Proposed change: N/A

Answer: In fact, all prevention techniques provided in Table 6.1 can be used
for any sources of corrosion: chloride, carbonation, acid and stray current.
However, “chemical inhibitor” is mainly used for chloride-induced corrosion,
while electrochemical treatment is used for repair/rehabilitation against
carbonation- and chloride-induced corrosion: realkalisation and
electrochemical extraction, respectively.

Thus, asterisk (*) was to further explain for “chemical inhibitor” and
“electrochemical treatment” in Table 6.1. (6.2.1)

*Chemical inhibitor: to prevent corrosion against chloride-induced corrosion

by adding nitrite ions in solution in concrete mix

**Electrochemical treatment: to be used for repair/rehabilitation against

carbonation- and chloride-induced corrosion at realkalisation and
electrochemical chloride extraction, respectively (6.2.1: Table 6.1)

Comments (JP; te): As prevention techniques, increasing the cover concrete

is one of the candidates.

Proposed change: “(4) increasing of cover concrete” and “6.6” should be

added as a prevention technique.

Answer: “Increased cover depth” could be an alternative prevention

technique. However, the cover depth is mostly guided in structural design
such as 50, 75 or 100 mm, depending on the type of structure, exposure
condition and its importance. Moreover, the increased cover depth may
accompany some adverse effects on structural behaviour such as the increased
buckling risk, overwhelming use of concrete and mis-behaviour of structural
capacity. Notwithstanding, it could be a potential technique and widely used
in in-situ. Thus, it is accepted as commented. With the proposed change, 6.6
Clause was further added

alex_halcu@yahoo.com - 2023-06-22 10:35:09

 alex_halcu@yahoo.com - 2023-06-22 10:35:09

The prevention techniques can be classified into (1) a modification of

concrete mix proportioning, (2) a modification of steel reinforcement, (3)
external treatment and (4) increasing of cover depth, as given in Table 6.1.
(6.2.1)

6.6 Prevention technique of increasing cover depth

Prevention technique for increasing cover depth is for corrosive ions and
molecules to reach the steel depth beyond the service life, thereby securing
the serviceability of the concrete structure against corrosion of steel. However,
the minimum cover depth is usually guided for structural design to ensure the
appropriate structural capacity and behaviour. With increased cover depth, it
would impose the higher cost of bulk concrete and the higher risk of
structural mis-behaviour with no further consideration of structural capacity
and limit.
The effect of increasing cover depth could be equivalently achieved by a
modification of concrete mix proportion such as SCM replacement and a low
W/B.
