Results of laboratory tests of dual-coated (zinc/epoxy) rebars embedded in concrete and in a concrete simulated pore solution with and without chloride contamination followed by a brief description of the adopted methodologies.
Corrosion of reinforced steel bars caused by chloride ions is one of the most important pathologies to be considered in durability of reinforced concrete structures built in environments of high aggressiveness, such as marine atmospheres. Applied methods to extend the service life of concrete structures are: use of adequate concrete specification and cover thickness; adoption of alternative materials to steel rebars; use of concrete protective coatings and cathodic protection techniques. In this context, dual-coated (zinc/epoxy) rebars have been widely used in various countries with very promising results. In Brazil, the use of coated rebars is incipient, summarized in some use of galvanized bars in special concrete structures without an additional epoxy layer. Therefore, it is important to introduce this alternative as a choice for the Brazilian market. This work aims to discuss the results of laboratory tests of dual-coated
(zinc/epoxy) rebars embedded in concrete and in a concrete simulated pore solution with and without chloride contamination followed by a brief description of the adopted methodologies. In this way, the use of dual-coated (zinc/epoxy) rebars can be disseminated in our country and a better understanding of its protection mechanism by the Brazilian community is expected.

This work seeks to determine the performance of cathodic prevention (CPrev) and cathodic protection (CP) systems applied to cracked concrete in a simulated marine environment.

Corrosion measurement and monitoring with correlation to corrosion rates can now be applied directly in the field with a new stand-alone hand-held potentiostat/galvanostat in combination with a new in-house diagnosis software of electrochemical current noise.
Results: With the Electrochemical RC in Autoclave (ERCA) assembly it was possible to estimate the inhibitor efficiency - and the influence of concentration - by electrochemical data.
