Resumo:
The degradation of concrete may occur from biochemical processes, especially where concrete elements of the sewage system networks due to the production of biogenic sulfuric acid (H2SO4) by certain types of bacteria. This study aims to study this corrosion process and residual mechanical properties of concrete samples exposed to H2SO4 solutions on different concentrations (0.5 percent, 1 percent and 3 percent) and domestic sewage. Two concretes were produced: one with 0.83 w/c ratio with high performance, with w/c ratio of 0.28. The samples were cured for periods of 28, 63 and 91 days and were evaluated in periods of 28 and 84 days of immersion, with the pH of the solutions and the weight loss of the samples being monitored. After the immersion periods, the concretes had their residual mechanical properties evaluated by compressive strength and Brazilian split tests. Research results have shown a greater weight loss and higher reduction of mechanical strength on specimens with higher percentage of cement. The conventional concrete specimens immersed in acid showed 42 percent loss in compressive strength, whereas the high-performance samples showed a reduction up to 87 percent when compared to non-attacked samples. Regarding the specimens immersed in domestic sewage, neither concrete suffered significant loss of mass and strength, probably due to limited exposure time.
