Chloride, Carbonation and Corrosion
There are two major forms of environmentally induced concrete deterioration: the first is caused by the ingress of chloride (in marine environments or whenever salt based de-icing is used) and the other by carbonation from the atmosphere. Although per se these ingress will not deteriorate the concrete, they will eventually cause internal rebar corrosion. Given sufficient time, the corrosion will lead to cracking, splitting of the concrete, exposure of the rebars, and formation of what is commonly referred as “pot-holes.”
Each of the above-mentioned phenomena will be separately covered in this chapter.
