Effect of Chloride Erosion on Corrosion of Reinforced Concrete: A Review

Abstract

: The corrosion of reinforced concrete in chloride environment has an important influence on the structural life of concrete. In this paper, the corrosion mechanism, influencing factors of corrosion resistance of concrete and reinforced concrete in chloride environment including water-cement ratio, aggregate volume fraction and crack width et al. were reviewed in detail. The problems that need to be further solved are also put forward. The review is believed to can provide references for the improvement of reinforced concrete corrosion.
