Corrosion of steel bars in concrete is usually a slow electrochemical process which may need a long time before damage becomes visible in the reinforced concrete (RC). However, cracks provide quick access to chloride, oxygen and water into concrete and accelerate the corrosion process. Corrosion mod...
