This paper presents the technical condition assessment of a RC digestion dome chamber after fourteen years of exploitation. The authors conducted experimental investigations, i.e. tests of concrete compressive strength using a scleroscope, concrete chemical analysis in the laboratory and detections of reinforcement. On the basis of the obtained results and cracks morphology, static-strength calculations were conducted. The results of the FEM numerical analysis indicated deficiencies in the bearing capacity of the dome. The widths of the calculated cracks exceeded allowable values. The authors proposed two alternative methods of chamber strengthening: pouring additional RC dome cover or post-tensioning the dome with external unbonded tendons.

Czasopismo Techniczne

The paper is focused on the problem of durability of RC structure exposed to typical ambient conditions for bridges. The causes and degradation processes of the structures, mechanisms of concrete carbonation and chloride penetration are described. The theoretical model which allows for the prognosis of all changes affecting construction safety in time is presented. The findings of the theoretical analysis are compared with the results of the experimental research of a viaduct in a state of an advanced degradation as well as the material samples taken from it.
