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 …

This paper presents the application of a new test protocol developed for determining
chloride threshold values initiating corrosion in reinforced concrete. The experimental set-up …

Abstract Information on the chloride threshold level that is necessary to initiate corrosion of
steel reinforcement in concrete is required for service life calculations and performance …

In spite of much research invested in the study of concrete reinforcement corrosion induced
by chlorides, there is still no agreement on an accurate method for determining the chloride …

Electrochemical assessment of the condition of embedded reinforcing bar (rebar) in
concrete is being carried out increasingly routinely, both in the laboratory and in the field …

There are still contradictions regarding the mechanisms of reinforcement corrosion with
respect to the controlling rate-determining factors of the corrosion process. It is often stated …

Corrosion of chloride contaminated reinforced concretes exposed to outdoor conditions and
to six controlled environmental conditions was followed within a five year study. Corrosion …

Reinforcement steel embedded in six different concrete mixes was exposed to chloride by
wetting/drying cycles. Various parameters were continuously monitored during more than …

One of the most important causes for reinforcing steel corrosion is the presence of chloride
ions. They cause localised breakdown of the passive film that initially forms on steel as a …

The steel/concrete interface is one of the major influencing factors for chloride-induced
reinforcement corrosion. Its properties are highly dependent on conditions during casting …
