Corrosion of reinforcement bars due to chloride ingress is a well known problem in
reinforced concrete. Several methods have been adopted to protect reinforced concretc, and …

Factors affecting the total chloride threshold for initiation of pitting corrosion in reinforced
concrete were investigated by means of field and laboratory exposure tests. Factors affecting …

This paper describes a part of the work in the development of a “standard” test method for
determining chloride threshold values required to initiate corrosion on reinforcement in …

For enhancing the service life of concrete structures, it is very important to minimize crack at
surface. Even if these cracks are very small, the problem is to which extend these cracks …

This report presents some of the results of the research project," Chloride-initiated
reinforcement corrosion". The aim of the project has been to map out the parameters which …

The chloride resistance of ordinary portland cement mortars treated with six proprietary
surface treatment protective compounds is assessed using the Leeds modified voltage …

Surface impregnation with liquid silanes, if properly carried out, is a reliable protective
measure for extending the service life of reinforced concrete structures. However, the …

The effectiveness of concrete surface treatment materials, such as silane, siloxane, acrylic
coating, etc., in reducing chloride-induced reinforcement corrosion was investigated. Two …

While the effectiveness of corrosion-inhibiting admixtures in new concrete has been well
documented, there is little research on their surface-applied counterparts for existing …

High concentrations of chlorides in reinforced concretes usually are held responsible for
reinforcement corrosion. However, this conflicts with many practical examples of actual …
