Abstract

This paper reports the results of an investigation carried out to evaluate the mechanisms of atmospheric corrosion of reinforcing steel in arid regions, and their influence on the weight loss, strength, elongation and bendability. The results indicated that atmospheric corrosion begins as a localized attack at discrete points on the metal surface. Upon extended exposure to the atmosphere, this localized attack gradually becomes a uniform form of attack covering the entire metal surface. Further, the atmospheric corrosion did not influence the strength and ductility of the steel.
