CORROSION OF REINFORCING STEEL IN CONCRETE: MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM

Magnitude of effects on concrete produced on steel corrosion from deicing salts and the economic consequences of these effects are discussed. Attention is given to deicing salt effects only, mainly on bridges, but not including attacks by sea marine environments. Mechanism of steel corrosion in concrete, detection methods, deck repair procedures, attack rates, and other details are presented.
