Corrosion of Metals in Concrete
Also Known As:
ACI SP-49:1975 is a comprehensive guide that provides information on the mechanisms of corrosion in metal structures embedded in concrete. The standard consists of ten reports, covering various topics related to corrosion and offering guidelines for reducing or preventing corrosion.
Some of the specific topics discussed in the standard include the control of steel corrosion in concrete sea structures, the use of shotcrete covercoats for prestressed concrete tanks, and the effectiveness of concrete cover in protecting prestressing steel from corrosion. The standard also addresses the use of cathodic protection and corrosion inhibitors to mitigate corrosion, as well as the selection and application of protective coatings.
Additionally, the standard emphasizes the importance of ongoing research in the field of corrosion, highlighting the areas where further investigation is needed. The experiences and findings from field studies are also shared, providing insights into the control of corrosion in offshore structures, the selection and use of epoxy coatings, and current research results.
