Normally, in concrete structures exposed to the atmosphere, macrocells (corrosion cells) are formed due to defects in the concrete, non-uniformity in density, and differences in geometric structure, and this causes the steel in the structure to There is a structural defect in which the steel (reinforcing bars, PC steel, steel frames, etc.) is corroded, and the corrosive expansion of the steel due to corrosion causes cracks in the concrete, and further corrosion of the steel progresses. It is known that this phenomenon is further accelerated when the structure is exposed to the influence of salt. Cathodic protection is the most effective method for preventing corrosion of steel materials in such concrete structures.

*Performance issues (1) The grounding resistance of the anode is large. This tendency becomes even more pronounced as zinc is consumed and zinc oxides and hydroxides accumulate at the interface with mortar. (The galvanic anode method uses the potential difference between zinc and steel to prevent corrosion, and since the specific resistance of concrete in the atmosphere is high, it is desirable to lower the resistance at the zinc-mortar interface.
) The present invention enables the installation of a galvanic anode member on the ceiling or wall surface of a concrete structure, and installs the galvanic anode member on a concrete structure where the galvanic anode member can be installed in an extremely simple process. The purpose is to provide a method.

In this way, in the present invention, when installing a galvanic anode member used for cathodic protection of steel materials in a newly constructed concrete structure using the galvanic anode method, the tip of the bolt installed in the steel material is tightened with a nut. Since the galvanic anode member is fixed to these bolts after concrete is poured, the bolts act as fixtures and spacers for the formwork before the formwork is removed, and also After removal, it acts as a fixture for the galvanic anode member, and since this bolt is installed directly into the steel material within the concrete structure,
By attaching the galvanic anode member to this bolt, the galvanic anode member is firmly fixed to the concrete structure, there is no need to separately connect a drainage line to the steel material, and the cathodic protection effect on the steel material is significantly increased. do.

The protection plate is a plate that has such rigidity that when the anode plate is fixed to the concrete surface with a fixture, the entire surface of the anode plate comes into contact with the concrete surface with a -like surface pressure. FRP, asbestos slate, fiber-reinforced concrete plates, corrosion-resistant metal plates, etc. can be used.

The waterproof material blocks water, oxygen, and salt from penetrating through the protective plate or from the gap between the protective plate and the anode plate, and prevents self-corrosion of the anode plate. In addition, it is more desirable if the waterproofing material itself has adhesive properties and has the function of adhering the anode plate and the protection plate and the function of mitigating the physical impact applied to the protection plate.For example, rubber asphalt sheet is optimal, but double-sided adhesive tape or the like may also be used.

The water retaining material eliminates the gap between the anode plate and the concrete surface,
This water-retaining material, which lowers the electrical resistance at this interface and prevents an increase in resistance due to the accumulation of corrosion products on the anode plate, is preferably a material that is plastic, retains moisture even in the atmosphere, and is conductive. 0 For example, a bag made by kneading bentonite and a hygroscopic electrolyte with water, specifically, a bag as shown in Japanese Patent Application No. 158484/1984, which is made of aluminum silicate hydrate, metal sulfate, and magnesium chloride. Phil is an example. Since this type of backfill has fluidity, when applied to a wall surface, etc., it is effective to sandwich a nonwoven fabric or the like between the backfills to prevent sagging.
