Abstract:
As one potential solution to the mounting problem of corrosion deterioration of structures, corrosion-inhibiting admixtures have been researched and introduced into service. This report conveys the results of a laboratory study of corrosion-inhibiting admixtures for concrete. The commercial corrosion-inhibiting admixtures for concrete have been analyzed by short-term pore solution immersion tests. Each product has been evaluated solely in comparison with the performance of untreated systems. Direct comparison of competitive products is neither attempted nor intended.
