Effects of Coating/Electroplating on Corrosion Resistance of Steel Bar in Reinforced Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

One of the main reasons for the damage of reinforced concrete is the expansion caused by corrosion of steel bar in concrete. In this paper, the equivalent circuit that inflects corrosion process of steel bars in reinforced concrete was analyzed, with the A.C.Impedance Spectrum method. And the effects of surface treatment of the bars on corrosion resistance of the reinforced concrete were investigated. Study results show that the surface coating (plating) on the built-in reinforcement can effectively prevent corrosion of steel bar, thereby enhancing the durability of concrete structures.
