2.6.4. Corroded steel in reinforced concrete
Flexible mortar can also be used for reinforced concrete pipes where the steel has become exposed.
In this case, the highly alkaline coating ensures that the alkaline area around the exposed
reinforcement is restored.
Alkalinity is used in concrete manufacturing to protect the steel reinforcements from corrosion.
Remove any protruding reinforcements
Remove any protruding reinforcements with a miller
or cutter.
Apply a patch of mortar
Apply a patch or mortar large enough to cover the
damage area.
Note:
Never completely coat the rubber gasket with mortar.
This would impair the compression of the circumferential
seals.
