Ensure the monitoring and diagnosis of your reinforced concrete structures to guarantee their durability and performance

Your need

• You want to ensure the quality and durability of an engineering structure during its construction or rehabilitation and you wish to benefit from assistance to support you.
• For this, you are looking for technical support and specialized expertise to ensure the monitoring and diagnosis of your reinforced concrete structures and to develop a performance-based approach for their construction or repair.

Cerema's response

Cerema supports you in diagnosing and studying the durability and performance of reinforced concrete by providing tailor-made, flexible and adapted solutions to your needs.

In this context, we implement complementary approaches:

• Corrosion diagnosis with in-situ tests: profometer 5, GECOR 6, TORRENT,...
• Sizing of steel protection devices against corrosion;
• Concrete durability tests: chloride migration, porosity quantification, carbonation chambers, climatic chambers (temperature, salt spray);
• Physico-chemical characterization of concretes;
• Evaluation of the durability of materials with less environmental impact;
• Deployment of the performance-based approach to project owners and project managers...
