Abstract:
Concrete structures are exposed to many severe environments. One of the most damaging is the corrosive action of external chlorides, found in deicing salts and saltwater marine environments. This article stresses the need for research to combat the serious and widespread problem of chloride-induced corrosion in concrete.
