Abstract text:
. In the case of reinforced concrete structures, the complex nature of the effects of the aggressive environment on concrete structures, as well as ensuring a long service life, also requires additional measures to maintain and prevent degradation/deterioration risks. These degradations/deteriorations are based on durability reasons. In this paper, an experimental program for assessing physical and mechanical characteristics (visual inspection of the structure, non-destructive and destructive testing methods) have been presented in the case of a reinforced concrete structure. On the basis of the investigations carried out and the numerical results obtained, the level of degradation/deterioration was estimated and some technical interventions were proposed at the level of the structural elements.
Key Words:
