AN EXPERIMENT STUDY ON ESTIMATION OF ADHESION PROCESS OF SEA SALT SPRAY TO SURFACE OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES

Abstract

 Sea salt spray, which is transported by wind action to the surface of structures, harms long-term durability of the structures. In this study, experiment of transportation and adhesion of sea salt spray particles to surface of concrete structures was carried out. Distribution and size of particle of sea salt spray particles around surface of structures were also estimated. In those results, it was shown that the adhesion amount and particle size of sea salt spray particles to surface of structures can be estimated by experiment results. The adhesion amount of sea salt spray particles to surface of concrete structures is also affected by shape of structures model.
