Serviceability of Construction Materials Under Tropical Climate Effects
Abstract The key aspect discussed in this study is the serviceability of the construction materials namely concrete and steel under the tropical climate effects. The environmental effects such as the temperatures, chemicals from the rain, and particles brought by the wind can cause corrosion on the concrete surface and thus may affect a structure’s performance. Through this study, the extent durability of the construction materials was investigated in order to know how far the strength can be affected by the nature. Fifteen concrete cubes and fifteen numbers of steel rods were prepared and placed in two different areas; one is an area which has room temperature surrounding while the other is exposed to the tropical climate for a period of 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Once the exposure time has lapsed, compression test was done to test the mechanical properties of the concrete cubes while the steel reinforcement underwent the tensile test. After the test was done, it was shown that the control samples of both concrete cubes and steel reinforcements are more durable and stronger compared to its counterpart that was placed in the exposed areas.
