CONCRETE COVER AND LONG TERM CORROSION PROTECTION OF REINFORCEMENT

The aim of the project was to study the factors contributing to corrosion of reinforcement in concrete bridge structures, to identify inadequacies in existing design and construction practices, to obtain information on current procedures available for inspection of bridges and to make recommendations concerning procedures to be adopted.
