Corrosion of Steel Reinforcement
Steel corrosion in concrete poses a substantial challenge within the realm of construction and infrastructure. This chapter focuses on the electro-chemical reactions of iron within concrete. It explores the fundamental processes that lead to steel corrosion. Understanding the factors causing corrosion of concrete reinforcement is crucial for developing effective preventive measures. The metallurgical properties of metals, including steel, play a vital role in their susceptibility to corrosion. Water conditions, such as moisture levels and the presence of aggressive substances, have a direct impact on the corrosion process. Specifically, the effect of chloride ions on reinforced concrete (RC) is a prominent factor that accelerates corrosion. In addition to chloride ions, the effects of CO2, porosity, humidity, and pH levels within the concrete environment contribute to the corrosion of steel reinforcement. These factors can weaken the protective layer surrounding the steel, making it more vulnerable to corrosion. Understanding the complexities of steel corrosion in concrete and its underlying mechanisms is crucial for implementing effective corrosion prevention and mitigation strategies.
