GALVANIZED STEEL REINFORCEMENT IN CONCRETE

AN INVESTIGATION IS BEING CONDUCTED ON THE EFFECT OF ZINC COATING ON BOND RESISTANCE AND CORROSION RESISTANCE OF STEEL REINFORCING BARS: (1) TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF GALVANIZING ON BOND OF STEEL REINFORCEMENT IN CONCRETE, AND (2) TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF GALVANIZING ON CORROSION OF STEEL REINFORCEMENT IN CONCRETE. TEST RESULTS INDICATED THAT GALVANIZED BARS HAD EQUAL OR BETTER BOND PERFORMANCE THAN SIMILAR BLACK BARS AND THAT UNDER ACCELERATED CORROSION ENVIRONMENT USED IN THESE TESTS, GALVANIZED BARS SHOWED BETTER PERFORMANCE THAN BLACK BARS.
