Comparative assessment of corrosion of concrete reinforced with unprotected steel and hot-dip galvanized steel

Abstract Increasing the lifespan of structures is of great importance for civil construction, either because of economic aspects or security to the users. Corrosion of reinforcement is one of the most recurring problems, especially in environments with high chloride content. One of the most effectiv...
