Abstract

This research showcased the use of leftover trash as a substitute for aggregate in mortar combined with saltwater. The raw waste materials underwent analysis using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) in order to determine the component materials and crystalline phases present. The choice of Portland composite cement (PCC) was made because of its durability in a hostile environment. Seawater is used to combat the water crisis and prevent corrosion, thanks to its exceptional resistance to corrosion. The attributes of mortar were assessed in terms of its fresh characteristics (slump and flow table) as well as its mechanical properties (compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, density, and shrinkage). The findings indicate that the dried mortar waste is suitable as a patch repair material for a substrate with a strength of 20 MPa, but only when utilized in a maximum quantity of 20% and with a water-to-cement ratio of 0.3. The repaired concrete with a strength of 25 MPa did not need any waste containment and had a maximum water-to-cement ratio (W/C) of 0.3, whether combined with saltwater or tap water. The possible role of the mortar containing the dried waste was to be the species for brick and other non-structural. Additionally, the use of an alternative cementitious substance is suggested to enhance the effectiveness of the patch repair material, particularly when paired with cathodic corrosion protection in damaged concrete

Abstract

Corrosion of concrete reinforcement can reduce the service life of buildings, especially in aggressive environments such as coastal areas, where salt content and high humidity accelerate corrosion. Sacrificial Anode Cathodic Protection (SACP) is a commonly utilized method of protecting structures from corrosion by using metals such as zinc (Zn), aluminum (Al), and magnesium (Mg) as sacrificial anodes. However, the high cost of these metals has prompted research into more economical and environmentally friendly alternatives. In this study, recycled aluminum from the beverage can waste was melted at 600˚C and then formed into a circle with a diameter of 11 cm to investigate the utilization and effectiveness of recycled aluminum compared to zinc as a sacrificial anode in the SACP process. The measurement of corrosion potential involved the assessment of current density, on-potential, off-potential, rest-potential, and depolarization. The recycled aluminum anode exhibited a depolarization value of 680 mV, demonstrating that waste cans could serve as an effective sacrificial anode to protect concrete structures.
