| description | For chloride-contaminated RC structures, steel corrosion is one of the most common reasons causing the deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Electrochemical chloride extraction (ECE), which migrates the chloride ions out of the RC structure, is preferred as it is a nondestructive repairing method. In this context, electrokinetic models are often used to investigate ECE processes. Currently, electrokinetic models based on different potential theories, such as the constant potential, electroneutrality, and Gauss’ law, may be used to solve the potential distribution. Although many ECE numerical simulations have been conducted, there has been no systematic comparison of models based on different potential theories. Therefore, in this study, a comprehensive comparative study has been conducted on these models in terms of the potential distribution, current density, quantity of electric charge, and ion concentration. Two commonly used ECE methods, namely, steady voltage and steady current, were numerically simulated and analyzed. The numerical results with actual ECE data were also compared. Although the electrokinetic model based on electroneutrality might overestimate the residual chloride concentration and underestimate current density and hydroxyl concentration, critical analysis suggests that electroneutrality is more appropriate than the constant potential and Gauss’ law for electrokinetic modeling. |
