Abstract

One of the main deteriorating factors that affect the service life of concrete structures is the corrosion of reinforcement. The chlorides penetrate the concrete, destroy the passive layer surrounding the steel, and help initiate the steel corrosion. A Corrosion Prediction System(CPS) has been developed to assist the engineer in analyzing the service life of existing sea-shore structures and future concrete repairs by calculate the chloride diffusion in concrete. The CPS calculates mixing design, physical properties or recent chloride profiles. The CPS can be used to evaluate changes in concrete cover, chloride loads, and environmental conditions in different structural designs.
