Due to the increase in the volume of oxidized compounds as compared to the base metal dissolved in steel reinforcement caused corrosion. Due to that increase in the volume the tensile forces in steel start cracking the concrete around it.
The alkalinity of concrete prevents the steel from corrosion. The reserve of calcium hydroxide is very high, so there is no need to expect steel to corrode, even when water penetrate into the concrete.Click here to continue read
