Role Of Construction Chemicals In Corrosion Protection
Corrosion of steel embedded in concrete is one of the major causes of degradation of concrete structures. In the marine environment, the steel bar protected by passive layer is easily attacked by the chlorides which can penetrate through the concrete cover. When the concentration of chlorides on the surface of the steel exceeds the chloride threshold level, the passive layer is locally broken down and pitting corrosion initiates. Concrete is very sensitive material if proper precaution are not taken during its placement then structures deteriorate due to a numbers of processes leading to cracking & spalling of the concrete. Corrosion of the Reinforcement is an important reason for the concrete failure.
