Title: Corrosion of Metals in Concrete-Needed Research

Author(s): Bernard Erlin and George J. Verbeck

Publication: Symposium Paper

Volume: 49

Issue:

Appears on pages(s): 39-46

Keywords: alkalies; alkalinity; cathodic protection; chlorides; coatings; concretes; corrosion; corrosion resistance; electrolysis; pH; reinforcing steels; research

Abstract:
The electrochemical and physical mechanisms causing the corrosion of steel in concrete are known. There is, however, a need for information that will more specifically characterize the effects of individual factors that initiate corrosion, and for methods that can be used to stop the corrosion process once it has begun.
