Researchers from the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT)<\/strong><\/a> have developed together with the company Cementos La Cruz<\/a> and the<\/strong> Construction Technology Centre<\/strong><\/a> a computer programme that determines the service life of concrete structures exposed to marine environments.<\/p>\n

Mar\u00eda del Pilar Hidalgo Torrano's thesis, supervised by Juan Francisco S\u00e1nchez and Iv\u00e1n Alhama<\/strong> and carried out within the Doctoral Programme in Technology and Modelling in Civil, Mining and Environmental Engineering, has achieved as a main result the development of the Concrelife\u00ae software<\/strong>registered as intellectual property and which uses the determination of the chloride concentration to determine the corrosion of concrete structures.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This system helps enormously in planning a proper maintenance schedule.<\/p>\n

The software can be applied to both new and existing structures.<\/strong>, y allows to determine <\/strong>the time in which the necessary concentration is reached so that the onset of corrosion of the reinforced concrete structure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By capturing all the mechanisms of chloride penetration in concrete: diffusion, entrainment, migration, capillary suction and formation of chloride salts (bound and precipitated chloride), and by being validated with experimental data, the programme provides very accurate results in its predictions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The software calculates the service life of reinforced concrete based on its porosity, saturation and diffusivity characteristics.<\/strong>among other parameters, and assessing environmental conditions, including ambient temperature, relative humidity and ambient chlorine concentration. The project has been financed in part with European Feder funds through the <\/a>CDTI<\/strong>. As it is developed through an agreement between the company and the UPCT, the thesis has the category of industrial doctorate.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
