Beurteilung und Instandsetzung von chloridinduzierten Korrosionsschäden an Spannbetonbindern einer Filteranlage für Trinkwasser

Assessment and Repair of Chloride Induced Corrosion on the Prestressed Concrete Binder of a Filtration System for Drinking Water

On the filter system of the Langenau water work, cracks and spalling were identified in the area of the clamping chucks of the prestressed concrete binder. Initial investigations showed, that chloride induced corrosion was present. Since especially the prestressed reinforcement was affected, an expert assessment of the damages was conducted, which had the objective of, along with the development of an appropriate repair plan, making statements regarding the residual strength of the tendons. In addition to the corrosion of the clamping heads, the investigations revealed a distinctive injection defect in the area of the fixed anchor. Consecutively, the approach to the problem, the conducted investigations and the investigation methods used, the developed repair concept (conservation of the actual status) and the conclusions on the remaining carrying capacity are explained. Based on the results, the cause of the corrosion (the source of the chloride) could be clearly determined and the stability of the hall could be verified. In the meantime, the hall has since been repaired and in the future will be controlled through regular monitoring of noticeable problems at the request of the client.
