The role of the concrete protective layer in ensuring the corrosion resistance of reinforced concrete structures of offshore hydraulic structures

Abstract

An analytical review of scientific publications in the field of research on the influence of the size and condition of the protective layer of concrete on damage to structures of offshore hydraulic structures caused by corrosion of steel reinforcement has been carried out. The general state of the problem of chloride corrosion of steel reinforcement is shown, modern methods for determining its corrosion wear based on the results of engineering and technical monitoring of the state of the protective layer are presented. Based on the above examples, the relevance of developing methods for predicting the corrosion resistance of reinforced concrete structures of offshore hydraulic structures in order to increase their service life is substantiated.
