Migrating corrosion inhibitor technology was developed to protect the embedded steel rebar/concrete structure. Organic inhibitors use compounds that work by forming a monomolecular film between ...

Regardless of the cause, cracks in new structures typically raise concerns about an increased risk of rebar corrosion and premature concrete damage, especially if the structure is exposed to moisture.

While steel reinforcement solves one of concrete’s greatest limitations, it creates an entirely new problem: Corrosion of embedded steel rebar is the most common form of concrete deterioration. There ...

The resulting pressure created inside the concrete will cause cracking and severe deterioration to the structure over time. The most common cause of steel rebar corrosion is exposure to de-icing salt ...

durability and resistance to corrosion. But given the limited application for rebar and the fact that corroded steel rebar can't be extracted from concrete, Saadatmanesh said he turned his ...

Company Announcement - Cortec's MCI® (Migratory Corrosion Inhibitor) Coating for Rebar is water based, environmentally friendly product that provides corrosion protection in outside storage as well as ...

IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE BURIED INSIDE THE CONCRETE. AND ONCE THE REBAR LOSES THE PROTECTION, THE REBAR WILL JUST START ACCELERATING ITS CORROSION AT THE VERY, VERY HIGH RATE. WITH THAT, THAT MEANS ...

Time leaves its mark: chemical changes in the concrete may result in steel corrosion. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now developed an innovative method for precisley locating corrosion, even in ...

The debris caused traffic to become congested in the area. ALDOT removed loose concrete from the bridge and cut severed and bent rebar (Photo: ALDOT) The Alabama Department of Transportation ...
