Performance of corrosion inhibitors in cracked and uncracked silica fume cement concrete beams

In the reported study, the performance of some generic and proprietary inhibitors in inhibiting corrosion of reinforcing steel in cracked and uncracked silica fume cement concrete beams was evaluated. Two types of concrete beams, uncracked and cracked, were prepared according to ASTM G109 and they were exposed to wetting and drying cycles of salty water. The performance of the selected inhibitors in decreasing reinforcement corrosion in the...
