Nowadays, Corrosion of steel in concrete is one of the major causes of premature deterioration of reinforced concrete structures. The use of corrosion inhibitors is found to be one of the effective methods to control rebar corrosion. Therefore, the major challenge for structural engineers is how to achieve the goal for the investors and the architects as well. The aim of this book is to present the most advanced materials and construction techniques used in the reinforced concrete structure industry. This book is intended to serve as a guide to junior and senior engineers who work in design, construction, and maintenance of reinforced concrete structures to assist them in choosing the materials, method of construction. The first chapter´s present literature review on corrosion inhibitors used for reinforcement of hardened concrete to control a project to achieve the owner target. In addition, all the materials, all methods and the measurement methods used to obtain the results. Moreover, the book presents the study of synthetic solutions simulating the concrete. In the last chapter, shows evolution of corrosion risk of reinforced concrete structures in tidal zone.
