abstract

  • The objective of this work was to analyze the impact of design and durability monitoring strategies on the internal electrochemical and microenvironmental results, at the level of the reinforcement of some columns, obtained during seven years in the fifth generation of the substructure of a prefabricated stilt house, according to criteria that gave rise, at the time, to the NMX-530-ONNCCE-2018 and NMX-569-ONNCCE-2020 standards on durability. The results showed that, although the elements are completely passive, the design, construction, and monitoring strategies allowed us to clearly see the influence of each microenvironment on electrochemical trends. This will allow the design of ad hoc and economical strategies for preventive maintenance, as well as facilitate the recalibration of service life projections according to each microenvironment.
