Towards arresting reinforced concrete corrosion-a review

© 2018 The Authors, published by EDP Sciences. This work reviews developments in the understanding of chloride induced corrosion of steel in concrete from both a kinetic and thermodynamic perspective. Corrosion damage is at least in part attributed to the production of acid at sites of corrosion ini...
