Abstract : The alkaline nature of concrete ensures that the corrosion initiation of reinforcing steel embedded in concrete takes a long time. Concomitantly, accelerated corrosion tests were carried out using impressed current till the crack initiation phase occurred as a result of which the testing period was reduced from years to a few weeks.
