A method for measuring the chloride threshold level required to initiate reinforcement corrosion in concrete

Information on the chloride threshold level that is necessary to initiate corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete is required for service life calculations and performance testing of concrete. This paper proposes a method for determining the chloride threshold level causing the corrosion of ste...

Zusammenfassung:Information on the chloride threshold level that is necessary to initiate corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete is required for service life calculations and performance testing of concrete. This paper proposes a method for determining the chloride threshold level causing the corrosion of steel in concrete. The method takes into account the need for accelerated chloride ingress and limitation of possible corrosion of steel parts not intended to act as anode.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
