Μελέτη διάβρωσης οικοδομικού χάλυβα και βελτίωση δομικής ακεραιότητας κυπριακών κτηρίων

Abstract

One of the many phenomena which meet several times a Civil Engineer in the shell of the buildings, is the corrosion of reinforced concrete, a phenomenon that occurs very often in our country especially owing to climatic conditions. Corrosion can causes damage and several problems in constructions, mostly in coastal areas in our country due to the intrusion of chlorides. In the present graduation project, an analysis is made of the complex phenomenon of corrosion of RC constructions, as also presented ways to improve the structural condition of the Cyprus Buildings. It is very important to approached the problem of corrosion from the both sites from theoretical and from practice site, to produce a record of the causes, mechanisms and consequences of this phenomenon. The present undergraduate final year project is divided into five chapters, which are describe the individual stages and procedures of the study. In Chapter 1 there is an introduction to the phenomenon of corrosion, they are growing the causes and becomes several performance conditions. In Chapter 2, there is a description of the Corrosion Mechanism of Steel while Chapter 3 becomes the Historical Background of the steel production and also developing the qualities and technical characteristics. The Chapter 4, refers the non-destructive and destructive methods which are performed in order to improve the structural condition of the Cyprus buildings. The last chapter (Chapter 5) is analyzed the minimization repair cost and is improve the durability of corroded buildings. Lastly are carried out the final conclusions of the preparation of this project.
