The effectiveness of corrosion inhibitors in concretes subjected to chloride attack and carbonation

摘要

Due to the enormous cost caused by corrosion-related deterioration of reinforced concrete structures, a cost-effective means of controlling rebar corrosion and extending the service lives of such structures is needed. This paper reports on a study of an organic corrosion inhibitor in terms of its effectiveness in controlling corrosion rates in reinforced concrete with respect to chloride and carbonation-induced corrosion.
