CORROSION LABORATORY TESTS CONCRETE SPALLING
MINIMIZING CONCRETE SPALLING DUE TO CORROSION OF THE REINFORCING ROD IS THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS TEST BEING MADE AT INTERNATIONAL NICKEL'S HARBOR ISLAND CORROSION LABORATORY NEAR WILMINGTON, N.C. NICKEL-COATED STEEL, CARBON STEEL AND A VARIETY OF ALLOY STEEL RODS, WITH 1/2 AND 1 1/2 IN. OF CONCRETE COVER, ARE BEING STUDIED. THE TEST IS CONDUCTED IN THE MARINE ATMOSPHERE AT KURE BEACH AND IN THE TIDAL ZONE IN A PROTECTED INLET AT HARBOR ISLAND.
