Testing of Selected Metallic Reinforcing Bars for Extending the Service Life of Future Concrete Bridges: Summary of Conclusions and Recommendations

摘要

This report summarizes the major conclusions drawn from its companion reports, which described investigations conducted using a stainless steel-clad bar, selected stainless steel bars (304, 316LN, and duplex 2205), and a carbon steel bar in concrete and in simulated concrete pore solutions (with various concentrations of chloride and pH) to assess the comparative corrosion resistance of the clad bar.
