Evaluation of the Performance of Corroded Concrete with Bottom Ash and Bacteria using Resistivity and Impact Echo Techniques
Abstract
Concrete is a cause of emissions or global warming. Environmentally friendly reinforced concrete (RC) is one of the alternatives to this problem, using waste derived from industrial residual materials such as bottom ash (BA). On the other hand, it has also been realized that the damage due to corrosion is crucial, so repair is needed. The addition of Bacillus subtillis bacteria in this study is expected to increase the self-repair performance of corroded RC with BA. This research uses concrete mixtures with 10%, 20%, and 30% of BA variations as replacements of sand. The RC specimens with BA and bacteria are accelerated corrosion for 48, 96, and 168 hours to determine the strength and durability. The corroded RC specimens were tested for compressive strength, flexural strength, corrosion process, NDT methods, and SEM analysis. The NDT methods used are impact echo (IE) and resistivity techniques. For the results of the corrosion process, increasing the BA variations on the RC specimen decreases the resistance of the corrosion rate, which are 2.07, 1.64, and 1.47 amperes, respectively. The results of corrosion for 168 hours show that the BN specimen has an IE frequency of 2561.04 Hz which is the lowest compared to the 30% BA specimen with the highest frequency at 7924.81 Hz. For 168 hours of corrosion, the resistivity results were BN specimen lower than the 20% BA specimen, which are 18.25 kΩ·cm and 29.27 kΩ·cm, respectively. The IE and resistivity results show that the addition of BA and bacteria on concrete specimens has a lower risk of corrosion compared to normal concrete.
