Description
本発明は、コンクリート構造物に埋設された鋼材の腐食電流密度を推定するための腐食電流密度の推定方法、および、斯かる推定方法で得られる腐食電流密度の推定値に基づいて鋼材の劣化状態を推定する鋼材の劣化推定方法に関する。また、上記の腐食電流密度の推定値に基づいて防食電流を制御する防食電流の制御方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a corrosion current density estimation method for estimating the corrosion current density of a steel material buried in a concrete structure, and a steel deterioration estimation method for estimating the deterioration state of the steel material based on an estimated value of the corrosion current density obtained by the estimation method. It also relates to a corrosion protection current control method for controlling the corrosion protection current based on the estimated value of the corrosion current density.
コンクリート構造物に埋設されている鋼材は、表面に不動態皮膜が形成されているため、本来、腐食から保護されている。ところが、沿岸地域や凍結防止剤が頻繁に使用される地域などのように、塩素成分が多量に存在する環境下では、塩素成分が構造物中に侵入して鋼材表面の不動態皮膜を部分的に破壊する場合がある。そして、不動態皮膜が破壊された部分からは、鉄イオンが溶出するため、鋼材が腐食(酸化)することなる。 Steel materials embedded in concrete structures are essentially protected from corrosion by the formation of a passive film on their surface. However, in environments with large amounts of chlorine, such as coastal areas or areas where deicing agents are frequently used, the chlorine components can penetrate the structure and partially destroy the passive film on the steel surface. Iron ions are then eluted from the parts of the passive film that have been destroyed, causing the steel to corrode (oxidize).
上記のように、鋼材に部分的な腐食が生じることによって、鋼材には、腐食した領域(アノード部)と腐食していない領域(カソード部)とが形成される。このようなアノード部とカソード部との間には、電位差が生じており、アノード部からカソード部へ電子が流れることで腐食電流が発生し、アノード部からの鉄イオンの溶出(腐食)を更に進行させる要因となる。 As described above, partial corrosion of the steel material results in the formation of corroded areas (anodes) and non-corroded areas (cathodes) in the steel material. A potential difference occurs between these anodes and cathodes, and a corrosion current is generated when electrons flow from the anodes to the cathodes, which causes the elution (corrosion) of iron ions from the anodes to progress further.
このような腐食の進行を防止する方法としては、チタンなどの素材を用いて形成された陽極材から鋼材に対して電流(防食電流)を供給する電気防食方法が知られている。該電気防食方法は、鋼材に対して防食電流を供給することで、アノード部とカソード部との間に生じる電位差を解消し、腐食電流が発生するのを防止する方法である。 As a method for preventing the progression of such corrosion, a method of cathodic protection is known in which an electric current (corrosion protection current) is supplied to the steel material from an anode material formed from a material such as titanium. This cathodic protection method is a method in which a corrosion protection current is supplied to the steel material to eliminate the potential difference that occurs between the anode and cathode, thereby preventing the generation of a corrosion current.
斯かる電気防食方法では、供給する電流の管理(あるいは、陽極材と鋼材との間にかける電圧の管理)、つまりは防食電流量の管理が行われる。供給電流の管理は、電流を供給した際の鋼材の分極量や、供給電流を遮断した後の鋼材の復極量が所定の範囲となるように管理することで行われる。 In such an electrochemical protection method, the current supplied (or the voltage applied between the anode material and the steel material) is controlled, i.e., the amount of protective current is controlled. The current supplied is controlled by controlling the amount of polarization of the steel material when current is supplied and the amount of depolarization of the steel material after the supply current is cut off so that they are within a specified range.
上記のような電気防食方法において、効果的な防食効果を得るためには、コンクリート構造物に埋設された鋼材の腐食状態を定量的に推定することが重要である。鋼材の腐食状態を定量的に推定する方法としては、ターフェル外挿法を用いて腐食電流密度を推定し、該腐食電流密度の推定値に基づいて鋼材の腐食速度を推定する方法が知られている(特許文献1参照)。 In order to obtain an effective corrosion protection effect in the above-mentioned cathodic protection method, it is important to quantitatively estimate the corrosion state of the steel material embedded in the concrete structure. A method for quantitatively estimating the corrosion state of the steel material is known in which the corrosion current density is estimated using the Tafel extrapolation method, and the corrosion rate of the steel material is estimated based on the estimated corrosion current density (see Patent Document 1).
上記のように、ターフェル外挿法を用いて鋼材の腐食電流密度を推定する場合、鋼材の分極試験を行って分極曲線を作成し、該分極曲線にターフェル外挿法を適用する。分極試験では、鋼材に対して電流を供給する対極と照合電極とをコンクリート構造物の表面に設置し、対極から鋼材へ供給する電流の密度(以下では、「供給電流密度」とも記す)を変更しつつ鋼材の電位を測定し、各供給電流密度とこれに対する鋼材の電位とに基づいて分極曲線を作成する。このため、鋼材の所定箇所における腐食電流密度を推定する場合、推定箇所に実際に供給される電流の供給電流密度とこれに対する鋼材の電位とを把握することが、正確な推定を行う上で必要となる。 As described above, when estimating the corrosion current density of steel using the Tafel extrapolation method, a polarization test of the steel is performed to create a polarization curve, and the Tafel extrapolation method is applied to the polarization curve. In the polarization test, a counter electrode and a reference electrode that supply current to the steel are installed on the surface of a concrete structure, and the potential of the steel is measured while changing the density of the current supplied from the counter electrode to the steel (hereinafter also referred to as the "supply current density"), and a polarization curve is created based on each supply current density and the corresponding potential of the steel. Therefore, when estimating the corrosion current density at a specified location of the steel, it is necessary to know the supply current density of the current actually supplied to the estimated location and the corresponding potential of the steel in order to make an accurate estimation.
しかしながら、コンクリート構造物では、コンクリートのかぶり、コンクリートの電気抵抗率、鋼材の配筋状況等の影響によって、対極からの電流が拡散してしまい、鋼材における腐食電流密度の推定箇所に実際に供給される電流の供給電流密度を把握することは困難である。このため、コンクリート構造物に埋設された鋼材の腐食電流密度を、ターフェル外挿法を用いて定量的に推定することは困難と考えられていた。 However, in concrete structures, the current from the counter electrode diffuses due to the influence of the concrete cover, the electrical resistivity of the concrete, the reinforcement conditions of the steel material, etc., making it difficult to grasp the supply current density of the current actually supplied to the location in the steel material where the corrosion current density is to be estimated. For this reason, it was thought to be difficult to quantitatively estimate the corrosion current density of steel material buried in a concrete structure using the Tafel extrapolation method.
そこで、本発明は、コンクリート構造物に埋設された鋼材の腐食電流密度を、ターフェル外挿法を用いて比較的正確に推定することができる腐食電流密度の推定方法、および、腐食電流密度の推定値に基づいて鋼材の劣化を比較的正確に推定することができる鋼材の劣化推定方法を提供することを課題とする。また、腐食電流密度の推定方法で得られる腐食電流密度の推定値に基づいて防食電流を制御する防食電流の制御方法を提供することを課題とする。 The present invention aims to provide a corrosion current density estimation method that can relatively accurately estimate the corrosion current density of steel embedded in a concrete structure using the Tafel extrapolation method, and a steel deterioration estimation method that can relatively accurately estimate the deterioration of the steel based on the estimated corrosion current density. It also aims to provide a corrosion protection current control method that controls the corrosion protection current based on the estimated corrosion current density obtained by the corrosion current density estimation method.
本発明に係る腐食電流密度の推定方法は、コンクリート構造物に埋設された鋼材の腐食電流密度を推定するための腐食電流密度の推定方法であって、鋼材における腐食電流密度を推定する箇所に達するようにコンクリート構造物に形成された削孔内に照合電極が挿入され、該削孔内で照合電極と鋼材とが接触するように配置されると共に、該照合電極と鋼材とが電気的に接続されており、鋼材に電流を供給するための対極がコンクリート構造物の表面に設置されると共に、該対極と鋼材とが電源装置を介して電気的に接続されており、対極から鋼材に印加電流を供給していない状態から鋼材に印加電流を供給して鋼材をカソード分極させると共に、照合電極に基づいて測定される鋼材電位から求まる鋼材の分極量が所定値となるまで分極量が増加するように鋼材へ供給する印加電流を増加させ、任意の複数の分極量のそれぞれが得られる際の鋼材電位を照合電極に基づいて測定するカソード分極工程と、対極から鋼材に印加電流を供給していない状態から鋼材に印加電流を供給して鋼材をアノード分極させると共に、照合電極に基づいて測定される鋼材電位から求まる鋼材の分極量が所定値となるまで分極量が増加するように鋼材へ供給する印加電流を増加させ、任意の複数の分極量のそれぞれが得られる際の鋼材電位を照合電極に基づいて測定するアノード分極工程と、FEM解析を用いてコンクリート構造物のFEM解析モデルを作成する工程と、鋼材の自然電位と対極の自然電位とコンクリート構造物の電気抵抗率とをFEM解析の境界条件として用いると共に、FEM解析モデルにおける鋼材の腐食電流密度の推定箇所の印加電圧を変更し、FEM解析モデルにおける鋼材の腐食電流密度の推定箇所のモデル印加電流をカソード分極工程およびアノード分極工程における各分極量が得られた際の印加電流と一致させるフィッティング工程と、フィッティング工程後、カソード分極工程およびアノード分極工程における各分極量が得られた際の印加電流と鋼材の自然電位と対極の自然電位とコンクリート構造物の電気抵抗率とを境界条件としてFEM解析を行い、FEM解析モデルにおける鋼材の腐食電流密度の推定箇所で各分極量が得られる際のモデル印加電流を求めると共に、各分極量が得られる際のモデル印加電流それぞれをコンクリート構造物における鋼材の腐食電流密度の推定箇所の表面積で除することでFEM解析モデルにおける各分極量が得られる際のモデル電流密度を算出する工程と、カソード分極工程およびアノード分極工程における各分極量が得られる際の鋼材電位と、FEM解析モデルにおける各分極量が得られる際のモデル電流密度とを用いて分極曲線を作成し、該分極曲線からターフェル外挿法により腐食電流密度を求める工程とを備える。 The corrosion current density estimation method according to the present invention is a corrosion current density estimation method for estimating the corrosion current density of steel material buried in a concrete structure, in which a reference electrode is inserted into a drilled hole formed in the concrete structure so as to reach a location in the steel material where the corrosion current density is to be estimated, the reference electrode and the steel material are arranged in the drilled hole so as to come into contact with each other, and the reference electrode and the steel material are electrically connected, a counter electrode for supplying a current to the steel material is installed on the surface of the concrete structure, and the counter electrode and the steel material are electrically connected via a power supply device, and an applied current is supplied to the steel material from a state in which no applied current is supplied from the counter electrode to the steel material, thereby cathodically polarizing the steel material, a cathodic polarization process in which an applied current is increased so that the polarization amount of the steel material determined from the steel material potential measured based on the reference electrode increases until the polarization amount of the steel material reaches a predetermined value, and the steel material potential when each of the arbitrary multiple polarization amounts is measured based on the reference electrode; an anodic polarization process in which an applied current is supplied to the steel material from a state in which no applied current is supplied to the steel material from the counter electrode to anodically polarize the steel material, and an applied current is increased so that the polarization amount of the steel material determined from the steel material potential measured based on the reference electrode increases until the polarization amount of the steel material determined from the steel material potential measured based on the reference electrode reaches a predetermined value, and the steel material potential when each of the arbitrary multiple polarization amounts is measured based on the reference electrode; a fitting step of using the natural potential of the steel material, the natural potential of the counter electrode, and the electrical resistivity of the concrete structure as boundary conditions for the FEM analysis, changing the applied voltage at the location in the FEM analysis model where the corrosion current density of the steel material is estimated, and matching the model applied current at the location in the FEM analysis model where the corrosion current density of the steel material is estimated with the applied current when each polarization amount is obtained in the cathodic polarization step and the anodic polarization step; and The method includes a process of performing FEM analysis as a boundary condition, determining the model applied current when each polarization amount is obtained at the estimated location of the corrosion current density of the steel in the FEM analysis model, and calculating the model current density when each polarization amount is obtained in the FEM analysis model by dividing each model applied current when each polarization amount is obtained by the surface area of the estimated location of the corrosion current density of the steel in the concrete structure, and a process of creating a polarization curve using the steel potential when each polarization amount is obtained in the cathodic polarization process and the anodic polarization process, and the model current density when each polarization amount is obtained in the FEM analysis model, and determining the corrosion current density from the polarization curve by Tafel extrapolation.
斯かる構成によれば、FEM解析を行うことで、アノード分極工程およびカソード分極工程における各分極量が得られる際のモデル電流密度を得ることができ、該モデル電流密度は、実際のコンクリート構造物における照合電極を設置した位置(鋼材の腐食電流密度の推定箇所)の電流密度の推定値となる。これにより、斯かるモデル電流密度と、カソード分極工程およびアノード分極工程における各分極量が得られる際の鋼材電位とに基づいて分極曲線を作成し、ターフェル外挿法によって分極曲線から腐食電流密度を求めることで、実際のコンクリート構造物における照合電極を設置した位置(鋼材の腐食電流密度の推定箇所)の腐食電流密度を比較的正確に推定することができる。 According to this configuration, by performing FEM analysis, a model current density can be obtained when each polarization amount in the anodic polarization process and the cathodic polarization process is obtained, and the model current density is an estimate of the current density at the position where the reference electrode is installed in the actual concrete structure (the location where the corrosion current density of the steel is estimated). As a result, a polarization curve is created based on the model current density and the steel potential when each polarization amount in the cathodic polarization process and the anodic polarization process is obtained, and the corrosion current density is obtained from the polarization curve by Tafel extrapolation, so that the corrosion current density at the position where the reference electrode is installed in the actual concrete structure (the location where the corrosion current density of the steel is estimated) can be estimated relatively accurately.
本発明に係る鋼材の劣化推定方法は、上記の腐食電流密度の推定方法で求められる腐食電流密度に基づいて鋼材の腐食速度を算出する工程と、前記腐食速度に基づいて所定の材齢のコンクリート構造物に埋設された鋼材の減少量を算出する工程とを備える。 The method for estimating the deterioration of steel according to the present invention includes a step of calculating the corrosion rate of the steel based on the corrosion current density obtained by the above-mentioned corrosion current density estimation method, and a step of calculating the amount of reduction in the steel embedded in a concrete structure of a specified material age based on the corrosion rate.
斯かる構成によれば、腐食電流密度の推定方法で求められる腐食電流密度に基づいて鋼材の腐食速度を算出することで、比較的正確な鋼材の腐食速度を得ることができる。このため、所定の材齢のコンクリート構造物に埋設された鋼材の減少量を比較的正確に推定することができる。 With this configuration, a relatively accurate corrosion rate of steel can be obtained by calculating the corrosion rate of the steel based on the corrosion current density obtained by the corrosion current density estimation method. Therefore, the reduction amount of steel embedded in a concrete structure of a specified material age can be estimated relatively accurately.
本発明に係る防食電流の制御方法は、上記の腐食電流密度の推定方法で求められる腐食電流密度に基づいて鋼材に供給する防食電流を制御する。 The method for controlling the corrosion protection current according to the present invention controls the corrosion protection current supplied to the steel material based on the corrosion current density obtained by the above-mentioned corrosion current density estimation method.
斯かる構成によれば、上記の腐食電流密度の推定方法によって、照合電極を設置した位置(鋼材における腐食電流密度の推定箇所)における腐食電流密度を比較的正確に推定することができるため、該腐食電流密度に基づいて鋼材に供給する防食電流を制御することで、より効果的な電気防食を行うことができる。 With this configuration, the corrosion current density at the position where the reference electrode is installed (the location where the corrosion current density in the steel material is estimated) can be estimated relatively accurately by the above-mentioned corrosion current density estimation method, and more effective cathodic protection can be performed by controlling the anticorrosive current supplied to the steel material based on the corrosion current density.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In the following drawings, the same or corresponding parts are given the same reference symbols and their descriptions will not be repeated.
本実施形態に係る腐食電流密度の推定方法は、図1に示すように、コンクリート構造物Xに埋設された鋼材(鉄筋等)X1の腐食電流密度を推定するものである。本実施形態に係る腐食電流密度の推定方法では、照合電極1と対極2とが使用される。また、本実施形態に係る腐食電流密度の推定方法では、照合電極1と鋼材X1とに電気的に連結されるマルチメーター3と、対極2と鋼材X1とに電気的に連結される電源装置4とが使用される。 As shown in FIG. 1, the corrosion current density estimation method according to this embodiment estimates the corrosion current density of steel material (rebar, etc.) X1 embedded in a concrete structure X. In the corrosion current density estimation method according to this embodiment, a reference electrode 1 and a counter electrode 2 are used. In addition, the corrosion current density estimation method according to this embodiment uses a multimeter 3 electrically connected to the reference electrode 1 and the steel material X1, and a power supply device 4 electrically connected to the counter electrode 2 and the steel material X1.
照合電極1は、鋼材X1の電位を測定する際の基準となるものである。具体的には、照合電極1と鋼材X1との間の電位差が鋼材の電位として測定される。照合電極1としては、一般的に用いられるものを使用することができ、例えば、飽和銀塩化銀照合電極、銅硫酸銅照合電極、鉛照合電極、または二酸化マンガン照合電極等を用いることができる。 The reference electrode 1 serves as a reference for measuring the potential of the steel material X1. Specifically, the potential difference between the reference electrode 1 and the steel material X1 is measured as the potential of the steel material. As the reference electrode 1, a commonly used electrode can be used, such as a saturated silver-silver chloride reference electrode, a copper-copper sulfate reference electrode, a lead reference electrode, or a manganese dioxide reference electrode.
対極2は、鋼材X1に印加電流を供給し、鋼材X1を分極させるように構成されている。対極2としては、特に限定されるものではなく、例えば、環状、板状、棒状、または、帯状に形成されたものを用いることができる。対極2を形成する素材としては、特に限定されるものではなく、チタン製のもの等を用いることができる。 The counter electrode 2 is configured to supply an applied current to the steel material X1 to polarize the steel material X1. The counter electrode 2 is not particularly limited, and may be formed, for example, in a ring, plate, rod, or strip shape. The material from which the counter electrode 2 is formed is not particularly limited, and may be made of titanium, etc.
マルチメーター3は、照合電極1に基づいて測定される鋼材X1の自然電位、直流電位(Instantoff電位:通電時の真の鋼材電位)、直流分極量を受信して表示するように構成されている。 The multimeter 3 is configured to receive and display the natural potential, DC potential (instant off potential: the true steel potential when current is applied), and DC polarization of the steel material X1 measured based on the reference electrode 1.
電源装置4は、対極2から鋼材X1へ向けてコンクリート構造物X内を直流電流が流れるように、対極2と鋼材X1との間に電位差を生じさせるように(電圧を調節可能に)構成されている。 The power supply unit 4 is configured to generate a potential difference between the counter electrode 2 and the steel material X1 (to adjust the voltage) so that a direct current flows from the counter electrode 2 to the steel material X1 within the concrete structure X.
<対極および照合電極の設置>
本実施形態に係る腐食電流密度の推定方法では、鋼材X1における腐食電流密度を推定する箇所に達するようにコンクリート構造物Xに形成された削孔X2内に電解質(具体的には、導電性ゲル等)を充填し、更に該削孔内に照合電極1を挿入する。そして、該削孔X2内で照合電極1と鋼材X1とを接触させる(具体的には、電解質を介して電気的に接触させる)。また、照合電極1と鋼材X1とを電気的に(具体的には、マルチメーター3を介して電気的に)接続する。
<Installation of counter and reference electrodes>
In the method for estimating corrosion current density according to the present embodiment, an electrolyte (specifically, a conductive gel or the like) is filled into a drilled hole X2 formed in a concrete structure X so as to reach a location in a steel material X1 where the corrosion current density is to be estimated, and a reference electrode 1 is inserted into the drilled hole. Then, the reference electrode 1 and the steel material X1 are brought into contact with each other in the drilled hole X2 (specifically, electrically contacted via the electrolyte). The reference electrode 1 and the steel material X1 are also electrically connected (specifically, electrically connected via a multimeter 3).
また、対極2と鋼材X1とを電源装置4を介して電気的に接続する。具体的には、コンクリート構造物Xの表面に接するように対極2を設置すると共に、該対極2と鋼材X1とを電源装置4を介して電気的に接続する。また、コンクリート構造物Xの削孔X2の近傍で削孔X2を囲むように対極2を設置する。本実施形態では、対極2は、環状に形成されているため、対極2の内側に削孔X2が位置するように、対極2を設置する。 The counter electrode 2 and the steel material X1 are electrically connected via a power supply 4. Specifically, the counter electrode 2 is installed so as to be in contact with the surface of the concrete structure X, and the counter electrode 2 and the steel material X1 are electrically connected via a power supply 4. The counter electrode 2 is installed so as to surround the drilled hole X2 in the concrete structure X near the drilled hole X2.

<Method of controlling anticorrosive current>
The corrosion current density (estimated value) obtained by the corrosion current density estimation method configured as described above can be used to control the protective current when performing electrochemical protection of the steel material X1. Specifically, by supplying the steel material X1 with a protective current at a current density corresponding to the corrosion current density (estimated value) obtained by the corrosion current density estimation method configured as described above, the corrosion current flowing through the steel material X1 disappears or is reduced, thereby suppressing corrosion of the steel material X1. Therefore, by controlling the supply of protective current so as to obtain a current density corresponding to the corrosion current density (estimated value) obtained by the corrosion current density estimation method described above, effective electrochemical protection can be performed.
以上のように、本発明に係る腐食電流密度の推定方法、鋼材の劣化推定方法、および、防食電流の制御方法は、コンクリート構造物に埋設された鋼材の腐食電流密度を、ターフェル外挿法を用いて比較的正確に推定することができる。 As described above, the corrosion current density estimation method, steel deterioration estimation method, and anticorrosive current control method according to the present invention can estimate the corrosion current density of steel buried in a concrete structure relatively accurately using the Tafel extrapolation method.
即ち、FEM解析を行うことで、アノード分極工程およびカソード分極工程における各分極量が得られる際のモデル電流密度を得ることができ、該モデル電流密度は、実際のコンクリート構造物Xにおける照合電極1を設置した位置(鋼材X1の腐食電流密度の推定箇所)の電流密度の推定値となる。これにより、斯かるモデル電流密度と、カソード分極工程およびアノード分極工程における各分極量が得られる際の鋼材X1の電位とに基づいて分極曲線を作成し、ターフェル外挿法によって分極曲線から腐食電流密度を求めることで、実際のコンクリート構造物Xにおける照合電極1を設置した位置(鋼材X1の腐食電流密度の推定箇所)の腐食電流密度を比較的正確に推定することができる。 That is, by performing FEM analysis, a model current density can be obtained when each polarization amount in the anodic polarization process and the cathodic polarization process is obtained, and the model current density is an estimate of the current density at the position where the reference electrode 1 is installed in the actual concrete structure X (the location where the corrosion current density of the steel material X1 is estimated). As a result, a polarization curve is created based on the model current density and the potential of the steel material X1 when each polarization amount in the cathodic polarization process and the anodic polarization process is obtained, and the corrosion current density is obtained from the polarization curve by Tafel extrapolation, so that the corrosion current density at the position where the reference electrode 1 is installed in the actual concrete structure X (the location where the corrosion current density of the steel material X1 is estimated) can be estimated relatively accurately.
また、上記の腐食電流密度の推定方法で求められる腐食電流密度に基づいて鋼材X1の腐食速度を算出することで、比較的正確な鋼材X1の腐食速度を得ることができる。このため、所定の材齢のコンクリート構造物Xに埋設された鋼材X1の減少量を比較的正確に推定することができる。 In addition, by calculating the corrosion rate of the steel material X1 based on the corrosion current density obtained by the above-mentioned corrosion current density estimation method, a relatively accurate corrosion rate of the steel material X1 can be obtained. Therefore, the amount of reduction in the steel material X1 embedded in the concrete structure X of a specified material age can be estimated relatively accurately.
また、上記の腐食電流密度の推定方法によって、照合電極1を設置した位置(鋼材X1における腐食電流密度の推定箇所)における腐食電流密度を比較的正確に推定することができるため、該腐食電流密度に基づいて鋼材X1に供給する防食電流を制御することで、より効果的な電気防食を行うことができる。 In addition, the above-mentioned corrosion current density estimation method allows for relatively accurate estimation of the corrosion current density at the position where the reference electrode 1 is installed (the location where the corrosion current density in the steel material X1 is estimated), so that more effective electrical protection can be achieved by controlling the anticorrosive current supplied to the steel material X1 based on the corrosion current density.

Specifically, the Tafel slope and Tafel line of each polarization curve were calculated, and the model current density at the intersection of the Tafel lines was calculated as the corrosion current density.
Such a corrosion current density is an estimated value of the corrosion current density at the position where the reference electrode 1 is installed in the actual concrete structure X (the location where the corrosion current density is estimated in the steel material X1).
The polarization curves and Tafel lines are shown in FIG.
The corrosion current density (estimated value) is shown in Table 5 below.

The reduction amount (actual measured value) of steel material X1 is shown in Table 5 below.
<まとめ>
上記のように、カソード分極工程およびアノード分極工程で得られるデータを用いてFEM解析を行い、図2に示す分極曲線を作成し、ターフェル外挿法を用いることで、鋼材X1の腐食電流密度を推定することができる。
そして、斯かる腐食電流密度の推定値に基づいて算出される鋼材X1の腐食速度から、鋼材X1の減少量を推定することができる。ここで、表5を見ると、鋼材X1の減少量の推定値は、実測値と同等であることが認められる。つまり、本発明に係る腐食電流密度の推定方法によって、腐食電流密度を比較的正確に推定することができる。また、本発明に係る鋼材の劣化推定方法によって、鋼材の劣化(鋼材の減少量)を比較的正確に推定することができる。また、本発明に係る防食電流の制御方法によって、腐食電流密度の推定値に対応する防食電流を鋼材に供給することで、鋼材の電気防食を効果的に行うことができる。
<Summary>
As described above, the FEM analysis is performed using the data obtained in the cathodic polarization step and the anodic polarization step, the polarization curve shown in FIG. 2 is created, and the corrosion current density of the steel material X1 can be estimated by using the Tafel extrapolation method.
The amount of reduction in steel material X1 can be estimated from the corrosion rate of steel material X1 calculated based on the estimated value of the corrosion current density. Here, looking at Table 5, it is recognized that the estimated value of the amount of reduction in steel material X1 is equivalent to the actual measured value. In other words, the corrosion current density can be estimated relatively accurately by the method for estimating corrosion current density according to the present invention. Furthermore, the deterioration of steel material (amount of reduction in steel material) can be estimated relatively accurately by the method for controlling anticorrosion current according to the present invention. Furthermore, cathodic protection of steel material can be effectively performed by supplying anticorrosion current corresponding to the estimated value of corrosion current density to the steel material.
