A novel approach for the lifetime prediction and structural health monitoring of concrete sewer systems exposed to biogenic sulphide corrosion
Abstract
A novel, combined experimental-modelling approach is presented for the estimation of the corrosion depth, load bearing capacity and lifetime of unreinforced concrete sewer pipes exposed to prolonged biogenic sulphide corrosion. The biogenic sulphide corrosion process is mimicked through two types of representative chemical experiments, namely: (i) long-term experiments performed under moderately controlled pH conditions, where dry-cast concrete cube samples are exposed to monthly refreshed sulphuric acid solutions with initial pH values of 3, 2 and 1 for a period of 12 months, and (ii) short-term experiments carried out under highly controlled pH conditions, in which dry-cast concrete disk samples are subjected to sulphuric acid solutions with almost constant pH values of 2, 1 and 0.5 for a period of two months. By applying X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyses, insight into the micro-scale morphology and elemental composition of the corrosion profile is obtained. In addition, the corrosion front and depth characteristics are measured by conducting phenolphthalein tests and analyses of surface colour and texture of macro-scale samples. From the experimental results, the time course of the corrosion depth is calibrated with a model for sulphate attack under a constant pH level. The model formulation is combined with detailed finite element method results from the literature to predict the long-term load bearing capacity of a concrete sewer pipe. The model is subsequently generalised for sulphate corrosion under a varying pH level. When combined with the installation of pH measuring devices on the inside of sewer pipes, the current engineering model may serve as an excellent practical tool for continuously monitoring the structural health and predicting the lifetime of in-situ sewer systems subject to sulphate attack under random acidity fluctuations.
