Applicability of rebar corrosión rate measurements to the assessment of high alumina cement floors

Abstract

High alumina cementjloors constitute a especial case within the greatfield oj durability problems of KC structures. They present some characteristic problems, and share, even with greater intensity, some others which are common to Portland cement RC structures. These special characteristics should be taken into account in the assessment tasks specifically intended Jor buildings presumably constructed using high alumina cement. This paper describes the general guidelines oJ those assessments, presenting the applicability and capabilities Jor these cases of the measurement of rebar corrosión rate. Some statistical data obtained from building revisions developed by GEOCISA are also given.
