Abstract
This paper outlines an exposure trial, involving some 700 specimens, undertaken to determine factors which control the durability of steel in reinforced concrete exposed in Arabian Gulf conditions. The results described are of the first five years of the trial. They show a clear relationship between corrosion initiation, the level of chloride contamination and the extent of carbonation of the concrete. They also clearly illustrate the principles of the initiation/propagation model for reinforcement corrosion. (A)
