CORROSION PREVENTION FOR THE CONCRETE AND METAL REINFORCING IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
IMPROVED PRACTICES AND TECHNIQUES OF FORMULATING CONCRETE HAVE INCREASED ITS ABILITY TO RESIST DETERIORATION AND CORROSION. IN MANY ENVIRONMENTS, HOWEVER, CONCRETE MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO CHEMICAL ATTACK. THIS ARTICLE BRIEFLY DISCUSSES THE MAKE-UP OF CONCRETE, INCLUDING AIR-ENTRAINED CONCRETE, AND PRESENTS DOCUMENTED INFORMATION ON THE CORROSION OF REINFORCING METALS. METHODS OF PROTECTING AND REINFORCING CONCRETE ALSO ARE PRESENTED. THE INFORMATION IS INTENDED TO BE ONLY AN INTRODUCTION AND SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A GUIDE FOR PROTECTING CONCRETE STRUCTURES. THIS ARTICLE IS A CONTINUATION OF A SERIES ON THE PROTECTION OF MATERIALS IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY. /AUTHOR/ REFERENCES: MATERIALS PROTECTION, JANUARY, 1968, VOL. 7, PAGES 19-23.
