This webinar describes the causes and process of corrosion of reinforcing steel; competing corrosion protection systems, including low-permeability concrete, protective membranes, protective coating on the reinforcement, suppression of the electrochemical reaction, and corrosion-resistant metals; research on different corrosion protection systems; and comparisons of the life expectancy and cost-effectiveness of the systems in new construction based on the performance of concrete bridge decks.

This webinar will be recorded and, upon purchase, will be available for viewing for an access period of 30 days.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the process and controlling factors governing the corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete.
  • Describe the two most common causes of corrosion in reinforcing steel.
  • Discuss the relative life expectancy and effectiveness of the different corrosion protection systems available for reinforcing steel.
  • State the measure of the effectiveness of stainless steel reinforcement that can be judged during inspection of the reinforcement prior to placement.
