Research on the Durability of Reinforced Concrete under the Seawater Environment

Article Preview

Abstract:

Engineering in seawater face materials corrosion such as concrete and steel bars attacked. Corrosion ions such as chlorides and sulphates exist in seawater with high concentration leading to the durability of engineering made by reinforced concrete degradation. The paper analyzed the mechanisms of steel and concrete in seawater corroded by sulphates and chlorides. According to the conditions of seawater environment the suggestions and measures to develop the durability of the reinforced concrete are proposed from the aspects of structure styles, construction requirements and materials etc.
