Field evaluation of corrosion mitigation on reinforced concrete in marine exposure conditions

The Arabian Gulf is one of the most unfriendly environments for concrete structures due to the harsh chloride attack to reinforcing steel. Durability of concrete is improved by the addition of Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) and/or chemical agents to concrete mixtures. A marine exposure site was constructed on the west coast of the Gulf in order to study the influence of SCMs and chemical admixtures on corrosion activities in...
