Corrosion mechanisms of steel reinforcement in concrete

Two models are discussed in which chloride ion concentration gradients form in steel reinforced concrete structures. Electrochemical testing to compare the models was conducted. Plain carbon steel specimens were exposed in a simulated concrete environment of saturated calcium hydroxide solution with...
