Corrosion management of steel reinforced concrete

Structural failures are closely linked with the corrosion of steel bar in reinforced concrete. Repair or maintenance works on corroded structures are usually costly. Corrosion is actually a slow process and can be detected for further repair before causing any damage. Failure to do so would only cau...
