This document specifies a procedure for carrying out impressed current electrochemical realkalization of carbonated reinforced concrete in existing structures. It is applicable to atmospherically exposed parts of structures with ordinary reinforcement embedded in concrete.
This document does not apply to concrete containing prestressing steel which can suffer hydrogen embrittlement during realkalization, or to concrete containing epoxy-coated or galvanized reinforcement, or if chloride contamination is contributing to reinforcement corrosion.

Elektrochemische Realkalisierung und Chloridextraktionsbehandlungen für Stahlbeton - Teil 1: Realkalisierung

Diese Technische Spezifikation legt ein Verfahren zur elektrochemischen Realkalisierung von karbonati-siertem Stahlbeton in bestehenden Bauwerken mittels Fremdstrom fest. Es ist anwendbar auf Teile von Gebäuden mit normaler, in Beton eingebetteter Bewehrung, die der Atmosphäre ausgesetzt sind.
Diese Technische Spezifikation ist nicht anwendbar auf Beton mit vorgespannter Bewehrung, die Wasser-stoffversprödung infolge der Realkalisierung unterliegen kann, auf Beton mit organisch beschichteter oder verzinkter Bewehrung sowie wenn Chlorid zur Korrosion der Bewehrung führt.

Introduction
The purpose of realkalization is to provide long-term corrosion protection of steel reinforcement in concrete,
which has become carbonated.
There are other electrochemical procedures, which can be used to provide corrosion protection of steel in
concrete structures. These include cathodic protection and chloride extraction. There is a European Standard
for cathodic protection of steel in concrete (EN 12696).
It is assumed in the drafting of this document that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately
qualified and competent people, for whose use it has been prepared.

4 Principle
Realkalization of reinforced concrete is performed by applying an electric field between the steel
reinforcement embedded in the concrete and an anode surrounded by an alkaline electrolyte solution
containing carbonate or hydroxyl ions temporarily placed on the concrete surface.
NOTE 1 The carbonated area treated by realkalization lies beneath the anode.
NOTE 2 Details of the principle underlying this process are given in the European Federation of Corrosion report [1].
NOTE 3 Electrolyte solutions of sodium, potassium and lithium may be used.
5 Assessment and repair of the structure
5.1 General
Prior to undertaking realkalization an assessment of the structure, including its physical condition, its structural
integrity and the nature and extent of any repairs, which might be needed, shall be performed in accordance
with ENV 1504-9.
The investigations specified in 5.2 to 5.8 shall be carried out in order to:
a) determine the suitability of the structure for realkalization;
b) provide information for design.
5.2 Review of records
All available drawings, specifications, records and notes shall be reviewed for information on the location,
quantity, nature (e.g. mild or high strength steel, smooth or deformed bar, galvanized, epoxy-coated) and
continuity of the reinforcement, as well as the constituents and quality of the concrete.
NOTE The possible sensitivity to reduction of bond strength should be evaluated in the case of smooth reinforcement.
5.3 Inspection
An inspection shall be carried out to ascertain the type, causes and extent of defects and any features of the
structure or of its surrounding environment, which could influence the application and effectiveness of
realkalization. All areas of the structure, which require realkalization, shall be checked for delamination of the
concrete cover. Defects such as delaminations, cracks, honeycombing or poor construction joints which co
