## Abstract This paper provides a brief review of research aimed at characterising the steelβconcrete interfacial zone (SCIZ) and its influence on the susceptibility of the metal to pitting corrosion when concrete is exposed to environments that cause ingress of chloride ions accompanied by leachin

Abstract
Corrosion of carbon steel rebars is the main cause of failure of reinforced concrete structures. To prevent and delay the occurrence of corrosion, a high quality concrete with a proper cover and a good mixture proportion should be designed. Additional prevention methods are used if severe environmental conditions occur, or when structures require very long service life. Corrosion inhibitors seem to be attractive because of their low cost and easy handling, compared to other preventive methods. This paper analyses results of a 10βyear investigation on the effectiveness of four commercial inhibitors and two pure organic compounds in preventing chlorideβinduced corrosion. Tested inhibitors seem to be able to increase timeβtoβcorrosion: their effects on chloride penetration rate and on critical chloride threshold are discussed.

## Abstract The prediction of concrete cracking due to corrosion in atmospheric/carbonated conditions is a major issue for the evaluation of the durability of structures and the choice of maintenance policies. Because of the complexity of the phenomenon, a fully predictive approach is still missing
## Abstract In this study, the effects of various formwork surfaces on the corrosion performance of reinforcing steel in concrete were examined. For this purpose, seven formwork surfaces from populus nigra, pinus silvestris, steel sheet, and four of plywoods were prepared. Three of the plywood form
## Abstract Measurements have been made with mortar specimens with light aggregates (LWA) and the cements Norcem HS65 and MP30, corresponding to CEM I and CEM II. The w/b ratio was 0.30 and 0.40 and in one mix prewetted LWA was used. The silica fume addition was 8%. The specimens have two sets of e
## Abstract Since the initiation stage of the damage process due to reinforcement corrosion had been successfully investigated in the recent past, the damage progress in the propagation stage is currently in the focus of research. This work deals with the mechanisms of cracking and spalling due to
