Corrosion of reinforcing steel is the leading cause of concrete deterioration in high-rise buildings — and one of the most expensive problems to repair if not caught and addressed correctly. Improper repairs fail prematurely, accelerate adjacent deterioration, and ultimately cost more than doing it right the first time.
This report covers the causes of reinforcement corrosion, how to assess its extent, and the repair methods and materials proven to restore structural integrity and stop further deterioration.
Ideal for: Facility engineers, structural engineers, property managers, construction managers, and contractors responsible for concrete repair in high-rise buildings.
What you'll learn:
How chloride-induced and carbonation corrosion develop in reinforced concrete
Field testing methods to assess corrosion extent before repair
Concrete removal, surface preparation, and repair material selection
Cathodic protection and corrosion inhibitor options
How to evaluate contractor repair proposals and specifications
Immediately downloadable. Field-tested repair guidance from 55+ years of high-rise concrete construction experience.
