## 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 seve

β¦ Synopsis
Steel reinforcement electrodes embedded in different matrices of concrete were exposed to simulated marine splash zone exposure for about 600 days (1200 cycles) after initial curing in air for 14 days. The corrosion potentials and polarisation resistance were monitored at regular intervals to determine the state and rate of corrosion. The concrete matrices included different cement replacement levels of pfa, ground granulated blast furnace slag (BFS) and microsilica, at a water/(cement + blend) ratio of 0.58.
The Cl" and OH-concentration in pore fluid and the acid soluble CI" in concrete were also determined.
The results show that maximum protection against rebar corrosion is provided at 60% replacement of cement by BFS and at 10 and 15% replacement by microsilica.
The corrosion rates are more sensitive to CI-concentration in the matrix than to the Cl-/OH-ratio.

## Abstract Reinforcement corrosion is influenced by different parameters like resistivity of concrete, setting conditions and also by concrete technology. Moreover the presence of cathodic areas and the possibility of unhampered cathodic reaction influences the reinforcement corrosion. In this pap
Pore solution study has been carried out on 2.43 and 14% C3A hardened cement pastes. Data have been analyzed in conjunction with the data developed in two pore solution studies made by Page and Vennesland and Diamond using 7.37 and 9.1% C3A mature cement pastes. The results show that C3A and alkali
## 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
