CALCIUM NITRITE CORROSION INHIBITOR IN CONCRETE . ADMIXTURES FOR CONCRETE: IMPROVEMENT OF PROPERTIES. PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM HELD BY RILEM (THE INTERNATIONAL UNION OF TESTING AND RESEARCH LABORATORIES FOR MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES), BARCELONA, MAY 14-17, 1990

Extensive testing shows that calcium nitrite is an effective corrosion inhibitor for steel in concrete. Furthermore, in most cases, calcium nitrite improves the compressive strength of the concrete mix, and with proper air entrainment is freeze-thaw durable. In this paper data is presented documenting the effectiveness of calcium nitrite, and it shows how corrosion performance can be further improved with the use of the proper concrete mix designs and concrete cover.
