Instandsetzung von Parkbauten mit Kathodischem Korrosionsschutz - Lösungsmöglichkeiten von anspruchsvollen Detailpunkten

Repairing of parking structure by using Cathodic Protection - Possible execution of complex points of detail

Cathodic Protection (CP) of reinforced concrete members is an established repair method in parking buildings. Compared to a traditional repair (by removal of the chloride-contaminated concrete) this corrosion protection concept has some technical and economic advantages but also disadvantages, which have to be taken into account at the choice of the repair concept and which also have to be discussed with the client. CP is as generally accepted rule technology, even though an approval in the individual case must be obtained mostly.
While there are numerous application examples and rules for the application on the surface of decks or on column and wall feet, special construction elements or points of detail are common in reinforced concrete members making a planning and application "off the peg" impossible. For some of these points of detail solutions are presented and discussed: this is on one hand protecting the rear reinforcement layer of false ceilings with separating cracks by installing the CP-system on the top of the ceiling. On the other hand is presented as columns with high static loads, which have a high degree of damage of the reinforcement, can be repaired using a combination of reinforcement addition and cathodic protection. Furthermore bar anodes can be used to protect inaccessible places. The CP of metallic installation parts have to be planned with a special attention on a proper current distribution. Here results of a sample are presented. Finally, the application of slotted anodes for the repair of underground car parks are presented. This design allows a CP repair without having to change the component dimension and applying an additional load.
