| Sumario: |
The Pacific Ocean bathes the southern coast of the Panamanian nation in its entirety and many of the important buildings are located parallel to it. The research aims to examine, qualitatively, the profile of reinforced concrete from the surface up to four centimetres deep of reinforced concrete slabs naturally exposed for one year to environments influenced by marine and marine – industrial aerosols, both sites are located approximately 20 km from the coast. Results from Fourier's infrared transform spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and potential measurement were compared to those obtained in a pattern slabs guarded in a controlled environment. The results lead us to conclude that marine-industrial influence has more impact on reinforced concrete. To continue with the research, these results will be compared with concrete samples of the same manufacturing and exposure characteristics but located on the Atlantic coast. We are confident that the information provided represents a valuable contribution to the construction system of reinforced concrete s handles. |
