Description / Abstract: This report discusses the factors that influence corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete, measures for protecting embedded reinforcing steel in new construction, techniques for detecting corrosion in structures in service, and remedial procedures. Consideration of these factors and application of the discussed measures, techniques, and procedures should assist in reducing the occurrence of corrosion and result, in most instances, in the satisfactory performance of reinforced and prestressed concrete structural members.
