PROTECTION OF REINFORCING STEEL AGAINST CORROSION UPON CHLORIDE IMPACT. PROCEEDINGS OF STRATEGIC HIGHWAY RESEARCH PROGRAM AND TRAFFIC SAFETY ON TWO CONTINENTS , GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN, 27-29 SEPTEMBER, 1989. HIGHWAY OPERATIONS. CONCRETE AND STRUCTURES

Concrete structures and 64 sample concrete slabs were examined for the resistance of their concrete surfaces and for chloride penetration, upon de-icing salt impact, and 188 reinforced beams with state-II fissures were examined for corrosion of the steel reinforcement after several years of exposure, with and without chloride impact. The results showed that fissures, of the width usual in reinforced concrete, did not affect the stability, even upon chloride impact, if concrete quality and thickness of the concrete layer were adequate. When implementing such structures according to the provisions contained in Austrian standard ONORM B 4200, section 10, these must be dimensioned sufficiently.
