Durability of the Japanese concrete structures on Sakhalin island

Abstract

Concrete under exploitation conditions, are particularly susceptible to environmental aggressive action, which consists of the concrete surface layer neutralization and the compounds formation that affect its properties. The most common operating environment for main part of marine structures design is aggressive chloride environment and carbonation. The inspections of reinforced concrete structures of Vanino-Kholmsk ferry complex including Kholmsk and Korsakov ports have been made. The results were compared with the probabilistic calculations and show good compliance.
