The effectiveness of organic commercial migrating inhibitors on steel reinforcements corrosion. Four series of concrete specimens were cast. Two organic migrating inhibitors were applied. Free corrosion potential and corrosion rate of steel rebar were periodically monitored for five years. Results show that migrating inhibitors are not effective in reducing corrosion rate.
The results presented in this paper concern the effectiveness of organic commercial migrating inhibitors on steel reinforcements corrosion. Four series of concrete specimens were cast to verify inhibitor ability to delay, reduce or stop corrosion, both on chlorides contaminated concrete (adding chlorides in the mixture, or penetrating the concrete) and in carbonated concrete. Two organic migrating inhibitors (amine and alkanolamines based) were applied on the surface of concrete following the manufacturers’ recommendations. Free corrosion potential and corrosion rate of steel rebar were periodically monitored for five years. Results show that migrating inhibitors are not effective in reducing corrosion rate, both in chlorides and carbonation induced corrosion, while a certain effect was observed on the delay of corrosion initiation in the case of chlorides penetration.

Control of corrosion in reinforced concrete structures including prevention protection and mitigation. Applicability considerations for the life cycle of the structure and use of proactive maintenance will also be presented.

Chloride induced corrosion is recognized as a significant disease in the nation's concrete infrastructure. This paper will provide an overview of the various corrosion mitigation techniques available and then focus on two innovative methods of using discrete anodes embedded within the concrete to provide corrosion protection to existing structures.
