Ten Year Results Of Galvanic Sacrificial Anodes In Steel Reinforced Concrete
Zinc sacrificial anodes have been included in patch repairs to steel reinforced concrete structural elements suffering from corrosion since the mid-nineties. A number of these anode-containing patch repairs have been monitored over time. One of the first monitored sites was a locally repaired cross beam of a bridge structure in Leicester, UK, which has this year completed 10 years of service. Read more.
Ageing Port Infrastructure Gains New Life
The corrosion of reinforced steel in concrete structures is a global problem.
