corrosion of reinforcement bars due to chloride attack and its equation..

Answer / narendra

Corrosion is the oxidation of a metal in a normal
atmospheric condition owing to the excessive presence of
moisture and oxygen in the air. Corrosion of the metal is a
very natural and rapid phenomenon in areas of high
humidity, places close to the sea or in the presence of
saline water. Gaseous emissions in industrial area also
cause corrosion of the metal.
Chloride Attack

Chloride causes de-passivation of steel, leading to
corrosion.

Chemical reaction:-
Fe+++ 2 Cl→ FeCl2 (ferrous chloride)
FeCl2+ 2 H2O → Fe(OH)2+ 2 HCl

As per Kandal suggestions, we have implemented rolling starts on 140 (+/- 5) degrees and we kept 3 rollars to complete the rolling before falling 125 degrees and the Aggregate AIV is below 22. But When the DBM bed is being rolled 3rd high viabration, (Before 1 plain & low ,2 high Viabrations), the aggregate is getting sharp edge agg. projections are damaged. As the literature is said that, the VG-30 Grade having better control the temp. susceptibility than Penetration grade. if so we could not get this problem at site. But we are facing on site. let me know.
