The relevance of increasing the corrosion resistance of concrete and reinforced concrete structures under exposure to sea water

Abstract

Designing concrete structures that are resistant to seawater is of great importance for the global construction industry. Seawater causes corrosion of reinforcement and deterioration of concrete properties. The use of corrosion-resistant materials ensures a long service life of offshore structures, reducing the need for frequent repairs and reconstruction. This is especially important for infrastructure facilities that must operate continuously and without significant interruptions for repair work.
