The corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete is a major problem
facing civil engineers and surveyors throughout the world today. There
will always be a need to build stuctures in corrosive environments and
it is therefore essential to address the problems that result. Corrosion of Steel in Concrete
provides information on corrosion of steel in atmospherically exposed
concrete structures and serves as a guide for those designing,
constructing and maintaining buildings, bridges and all reinforced
concrete structures. The present state of knowledge of corrosion of
steel in concrete is reveiwed from theory, through to site
investigations using the currently available corrosion assessment
equipment. There is also a section on building structures to be more
corrosion resistant and new developments we can expect. This is a
book to educate and guide engineers, surveyors, students and owners of
structures so that they will have a clearer idea of the problems of
corrosion, its causes and how to find solutions
