Corrosion of steel rebar causes structural degradation of reinforced concrete systems in the civil infrastructure. Field practice and research continue to better understand the problem and provide effective practical solutions. This session is intended to provide a forum for practitioners and researchers in the technical areas of reinforced concrete and coatings to disseminate information and provide practical solutions for corrosion of the aging civil infrastructure.
