Corrosion of Reinforcing Steel Bars in Concrete

A. B. Tripler, W. K. Boyd

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

In recent years snow and ice have been removed from streets, highways, and bridge decks by the use of deicing salts such as sodium chloride and calcium chloride. Increased use of these salts has been accompanied by two principal deterioration problems in concrete structures: (1) salt scaling of concrete, and (2) corrosion of reinforcing steel. It is with the second of these problems that this investigation is concerned.
