Evaluation of Corrosion Resistance of Different Steel Reinforcement Types

The corrosion of steel reinforcement in highways infrastructure is a major problem currently facing the transportation engineering community. The maintenance and replacement cost for different bridges are measured in billion of dollars. The application of corrosion-resistance steel reinforcement as an alternative reinforcement to existing mild steel reinforced concrete bridges decks has potential to mitigate corrosion problems due to the fundamental properties associated with the materials. To investigate corrosion prevention through the use of corrosion resistant alloys the performance of corrosion resistance of micro composite steel reinforcement, a high strength, high-chromium steel reinforcement has to be evaluate. The study will be consist of both field & laboratory work. Whether to determine reinforcement provides superior corrosion resistance to epoxy-coated mild steel reinforcement in bridge decks. While the paper offers no new technology, it presents old information in a new way a new paradigm. The aim of the study or report is to collect and summaries the result of the research already performed .in this regard different literature has been review and ultimately results of two studies are selected.
