Anti Corrosive Treatment

     

                                      Corrosion in reinforced concrete structures is the major cause of premature failure of infrastructures .The most prevalent deterioration mechanism of reinforcement corrosion involves contact of steel with depassivating anions such as chloride and sulphate or the reduction of pH in concrete as a result of carbonation of the cement binder. The crucial characteristic of corrosion mechanism is that hydrated iron oxide compounds formed due to corrosion occupy greater volume than original reactants. As the volume of accumulated corrosion product increases, pressure is generated within the concrete, which may ultimately exceed the tensile capacity of concrete and result in cracking, delamination and spalling.
