β¦ Synopsis
The corrosive action of sulfate ions on reinforcing steel has been studied and compared with that of chloride ions. Reinforced concrete specimens were made with equal dosages of sulfate and chloride ions (0, 0"6, 1"2 and 1.8 kg/m 3 of concrete) and were immersed in potable water for a period of 808 days and then in 3% S0~4-and 3% Cl-solutions for a period of 60 days. Half-cell potential and corrosion rate measurements were made during the entire exposure period of 868 days. The test results indicate that the sulfate ions are corrosive to reinforcing steel but their corrosivity is less than that of chloride ions.

The effect of chloride, sulfate and chloride-sulfate solutions on corrosion of steel embedded in cement paste has been investigated. The reinforcement corrosion was evaluated by measuring corrosion potentials and corrosion current density using D.C. linear polarization resistance technique. Results
Among the multitude of concrete structure pathologies, corrosion of rebars is one of the most important problems of concrete durability. In the context of sustainable development, it appears of primary importance to develop new means to protect the rebars against corrosion. This study aims to develo
## 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 The aim of this paper is to understand what the chemical influence of the concrete on the corrosion form present is, on rebars embedded for tens or hundreds years. Therefore, metal/concrete interface of samples coming from two French Historical Monuments has been characterized: β__Bours
