Anticorrosion protection of reinforcement of reinforced concrete structures of transport structures
The problem of corrosion of reinforcement in reinforced concrete structures is internationally recognized and the most costly in the restoration of reinforced concrete structures. Although anticorrosive protection of reinforcing steel does not replace the proper design and use of concrete of good quality, it provides a cost-effective extension of service life and preservation of the structural integrity of the concrete structure. The mechanism of occurrence of corrosion and subsequent wear of reinforced concrete structures is well studied and documented. New designs can be designed and built to resist corrosion. However, due to economic restrictions, many new reinforced concrete structures continue to suffer from corrosion damage resulting from corrosion of steel reinforcement. This article discusses the causes of corrosion of reinforcement of reinforced concrete structures and how to protect it.
