Abstract
The authors believe that current models for predicting the severity and timing of corrosion problems of steel reinforcement in concrete structures have not proven accurate with field observations. They provide adjustments for the problems, which they argue are related to underestimating the role of hydroxide ion loss in favor of chloride ingress. In addition, the authors feel that considerations must be made for fundamental corrosion mechanics for steel and the influences of concrete, strains and loading applied to the structure. A new, comprehensive phenomenological model for the corrosion of steel reinforcement is presented.
