A Case Study on Corrosion in Concrete Floating Docks in Qeshm Port

Persian Golf is known as one of the world's most aggressive environments in the field of corrosion in reinforced concrete. Presence of chloride in see water and especial weather condition including the high temperature and air humidity close to 100%, could lead to occurrence of severe corrosion in concrete structures and reduce their useful life and durability. Floating concrete docks well have their place in the Persian Gulf coasts. ShahidZakeri's port is one of these areas. This paper reviews the causes of the damage and corrosion in reinforced concrete structures and provides solutions to prevent occurring such defects in future products.
