Preliminary Study on Macro-Cell Corrosion of Steel Bars in Seawater Mixed Concrete with Various Interfacial Transition Zones

This study evaluated the corrosion of steel in seawater-mixed concrete with different interfacial transition zones (ITZs) by measuring different corrosion parameters. The ITZs around the steel bars were intentionally varied by applying cement paste coating around the steel bars, which had various water to cement ratios (W/Cs = 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7). Four...
