Effectiveness of Zinc Coating on Reinforcing Steel in Concrete Exposed to a Marine Environment

Abstract

The investigation was made to determine whether or not galvanized steel reinforcement is more suitable than non-galvanized steel reinforcement in concrete exposed to a marine environment. The criterion of comparative suitability is time-dependent cracking of reinforced concrete walls caused by expansive forces resulting from build-up of corrosion products.
