Abstract/Summary:
Experiments were conducted to determine the effectiveness of cathodic polarization on simulated concrete piles containing unstressed continuous and segmented tendons exposed to sea water. Conductive rubber was used as anode material. Corrosion of the steel was enhanced by admixturing calcium chloride during concrete pouring. The specimens were cathodically polarized at constant potentials ranging from...
