NACE 01110-2019 PDF Download

The NACE 01110-2019 standard is a technical committee report that addresses the issue of corrosion in concrete structures caused by stray currents. The report provides an overview of the history of stray-current corrosion, the various sources of stray currents, and how these currents lead to corrosion of the reinforcing and prestressing steel in concrete structures.

The standard also covers the mechanism of corrosion, the impact of stray-current-induced corrosion on structures, and methods for detecting and mitigating this type of corrosion. It includes information on measures that can be taken during the design phase to minimize the effects of stray currents, as well as modeling techniques to assess the potential stray-current effects on concrete structures.

The target audience for this standard includes designers of reinforced concrete structures, professionals working with electrochemical techniques such as cathodic protection and electrochemical chloride removal, owners of structures that may be at risk of stray-current-induced corrosion, owners of systems that could generate stray currents to concrete structures, and electrical engineers. The standard aims to provide guidance and recommendations to help mitigate the effects of stray-current corrosion in reinforced and prestressed concrete structures.
