Abstract
The predeterminate model of corrosion rate of steel in concrete, the influence of concrete carbonation exponent and cover thickness to steel corrosion rate, and relationships among steel diameter, cover thickness and exposure time to steel corrosion rate are mainly studied. It is shown that (1) the steel corrosion rate increases when the concrete carbonation exponent increases. (2) The steel corrosion rate decreases when a mild carbon steel with circular diameter in concrete increases. The more the concrete carbonation exponent becomes larger, the more the effect of steel diameter obviously appears. (3) The steel corrosion rate increases when the concrete cover thickness decreases. (4) The steel corrosion rate obviously increases when the exposure time decreases. The results of present studies are discussed in comparison with earlier findings.
