NACE 01104-2020 PDF Download

The NACE 01104-2020 standard provides an exhaustive overview of the current practices and techniques used in electrochemical realkalization (ER) of conventionally reinforced concrete structures. The report is primarily aimed at design engineers who are seeking effective methods to control corrosion of reinforcing steel in portland cement concrete structures by utilizing ER.

The standard focuses on ER specifically for atmospherically exposed reinforced concrete and does not cover prestressed or post-tensioned elements, concrete with epoxy-coated reinforcing steel, galvanized or other coated reinforcement, or nonferrous reinforcement.

This report is the second part of a two-part series, with Part I concentrating on electrochemical chloride extraction of chloride-contaminated concrete. By providing state-of-the-art information and guidance, this standard aims to help engineers protect corroding reinforced concrete structures through the application of electrochemical treatment techniques.
