Résumé
The construction industry has extensively demanded novel green inhibition strategies for the conservation and protection of carbon steel-reinforced concrete structures. For the first time, the effect of Azadirachta indica leaf extract (Neem) as a potential corrosion inhibitor of carbon steel in reinforced concrete under corrosion in saline simulated media was evaluated. To assess the corrosion inhibition behavior of the Neem natural organic extract, three inorganic commercial inhibitors were tested to compare following the criteria established by Stratful for half-cell potential under a simulated chloride environment. Moreover, the effect of concrete integrity by the Neem treatment was recorded after different temperature conditions, slump, weight alteration, air content, compressive strength, and chloride-ions penetration. The results suggested that the Neem treatments did not alter the concrete integrity and the physicochemical parameters. We reached a promoted long-term corrosion protection of 95% after 182 days of evaluation. Thus far, our current results open up a new promising "green" road to the conservation of carbon steel in reinforced concrete for the construction industry.
