Electrochemical Processes and Corrosion in Reinforced Concrete

This looks at the process of steel corrosion in reinforced concrete, with its loss of durability and cost implications. Given the structure and chemistry of the steel and concrete, the process is more complex than is widely recognized. The latest research on the corrosion process and the electrochemical processes is critiqued.
