Özet

As it is known, one of the methods used to prevent corrosion in reinforced concrete structures is corrosion inhibitors. It is also possible for structures using inhibitors to encounter different environmental conditions. Different environmental conditions may adversely affect the strength and durability of the cement mortar structure. In this study, the effects of commercial corrosion inhibitors containing calcium nitrite (Ca(NO2)2), which is defined as inorganic, on the mortar structure under the influence of sulfate, were investigated, taking into account environmental conditions. In the study, 40x40x160 mm mortar samples were produced by using crushed stone sand (0-4 mm) and CEM I 42.5 R Portland cement obtained from Eskişehir region. The water-cement ratio was designed to be 0.50 in each sample series. The amount of inhibitor added to the mortar mixture was used as 0%, 1% and 2% of the cement dosage. Standard curing was applied to the produced samples for 28 days. Standard curing was applied to the produced samples for 28 days. The samples, whose curing period is completed, are kept in 5% Na2SO4 solution for 7, 28 and 90 days. The applied solution is renewed every 15 days. The compressive and flexural strengths, unit weights and ultrasonic pulse velocity of the samples held under the influence of sulfate were investigated. In the study, it was determined that the compressive strength of the samples using 1% inhibitor was 2.27 % higher than the samples without inhibitor under the 90-day sulfate effect, and the optimum use of 1% inhibitor was appropriate.
