Reinforced concrete is protected from corrosion without conducting an operation involving exposure of rebar. A reinforced concrete structure is provided with a storage part that is formed inside concrete of the reinforced concrete structure, and that retains an anticorrosion solution. The anticorrosion solution diffuses and permeates through the concrete from the storage part, prevents the concrete in the vicinity of rebar from drying, and passivates the rebar.

A method for the corrosion inhibition, and optionally rehabilitation, of metal reinforcements present in a hardened concrete construction having one or more surfaces that are exposed to chloride intrusion, wherein the method comprises the step of applying an aqueous alkali metal nitrate solution, an aqueous alkaline earth metal nitrate solution, an aqueous zinc nitrate solution, an aqueous aluminium nitrate solution, an aqueous ammonium nitrate solution or a mixture thereof on one or more of the surfaces. The present disclosure also relates to the use of an aqueous alkali metal nitrate solution, an aqueous alkaline earth metal nitrate solution, an aqueous zinc nitrate solution, an aqueous aluminium nitrate solution, an aqueous ammonium nitrate solution or a mixture thereof as a corrosion inhibitor by applying it on one or more surfaces of hardened concrete construction comprising metal reinforcements that are exposed to chloride intrusion. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to a corrosion inhibiting composition for inhibition of corrosion of metal reinforcements present in a hardened concrete construction having one or more surfaces that are exposed to chloride intrusion.

The present disclosure discloses an oil shale semicoke adsorption inhibitor and use thereof in concrete preparation. The adsorption inhibitor is prepared by the following steps: sequentially adding 50-52.5 weight parts of an anti-corrosion rheological agent, 5-20 weight parts of methanol, 0.5-2 weight parts of sulfonated melamine, 2-5 weight parts of EDTA, 20-30 weight parts of an organosilicon compound, and 5-10 weight parts of stearate into a mixing container, and performing stirring well. The anti-corrosion rheological agent is a microbead. The adsorption inhibitor solves problems of strong water absorption, high adsorption of a water reducing agent, etc. of oil shale semicoke, reduces the use amount of the water reducing agent in concrete production, and can also reduce power consumption during grinding, thereby realizing high-value resource utilization of the oil shale semicoke.

To repair reinforced concrete easily and at low cost. An anticorrosion method includes infiltrating an anticorrosion solution held inside concrete of reinforced concrete into a vicinity of a reinforcing bar through the concrete to passivate the reinforcing bar, detecting that the anticorrosion solution is infiltrated to a surface of the concrete, and discharging, after detecting the anticorrosion solution, the anticorrosion solution to outside of the concrete to form an anticorrosive coating on a surface of the reinforcing bar.

A water-based mixture of multi compounds for adding to fresh concrete to protect the concrete against moisture and moisture-associated problems. A hygroscopic and hydrophilic behavior of its crystallization system within a concrete matrix minimizes moisture transmission through capillaries and connected voids. As a result, the mixture may reduce moisture related problems, such as damage caused by repeated freeze and thaw cycles and chloride ion penetration as from deicing salts, as well as alkali-silica reactions, and other problems.

A method of producing a carbonated composite material includes: providing a carbonatable cementitious material in particulate form; mixing the carbonatable cementitious material with water to produce a mix; forming a predetermined shape with the mix, wherein the predetermined shape has an initial pore structure containing an initial pore solution having a first pH; pre-conditioning the predetermined shape to remove a predetermined amount of the water from the predetermined shape to produce a pre-conditioned shape; carbonating the pre-conditioned shape in an environment comprising carbon dioxide to produce a modified pore structure containing a modified pore solution having and a second pH, wherein the difference between the first pH and the second pH is represented by a ΔpH, and the ΔpH is 1.0 or less.

Porous, binderless ceramic surface modification materials are described, and applications of use thereof. The ceramic material may include a metal oxide and/or metal hydroxide, and/or hydrates thereof, on a substrate surface.

A radon-free ceramic panel includes a mixture including two or more types of stone dust selected from among granite, basalt, limestone, dolomite, elvan, black stone, feldspar, and sandstone, along with waste slag and a non-phenolic adhesive. The ceramic panel is lightweight and has excellent fire resistance, heat insulation, corrosion resistance, water resistance, and ability to act as a bather to radon gas.
