Corrosion, Concrete, & Chlorides
Also Known As:
The ACI SP-102:1987 standard is a compilation of 11 papers that address the issue of steel corrosion in concrete structures. The standard aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the various factors contributing to corrosion, methods for detecting and evaluating corrosion in structures, techniques for mitigating corrosion, and design considerations to prevent corrosion.
One key area covered in the standard is the influence of chloride on corrosion. It emphasizes the importance of chloride control in preventing corrosion and explores various approaches to achieve chloride-free acceleration. Additionally, the use of pozzolanic blast-furnace slag as an admixture in concrete to reduce chloride penetration is discussed.
The standard also addresses the conductive coating aspects of cathodic protection, a technique used to control corrosion in reinforced concrete structures. It highlights the use of cathodic protection as an effective corrosion control measure.
