The effect of chloride and acetate ions on corrosion of steel in concrete was studied. The reinforcement corrosion was evaluated by measuring the corrosion potentials and corrosion current density using linear polarization resistance technique. The initial corrosion rates (i,,) of reinforcing steel

## Abstract Up to this time all the methods to measure the corrosion rate of reinforcing steels embedded in hardened concrete have been of the destructive type, which requires much time and materials and makes the full scale study of the phenomenon difficult. The authors have applied the polarizati
Once corrosion of reinforcing steel has been initiated, the internal relative humidity and electrical resistivity of the concrete cover are two of the factors controlling active corrosion. To determine this influence, simultaneous measurements of corrosion rate, electrical resistivity and internal r
