High-strength steel is one of the basic materials for supporting a well-functioning society. Prestressed concrete (PC) is a typical example of a material in which high-strength steel is used. In PC, tensile stressed steel is embedded inside the concrete, and internal bars apply compressive stress to the concrete for preventing cracks in concrete that is vulnerable to tensile stress. Moreover, corrosion inside the steel is suppressed by the alkaline environment in the concrete, so the concrete and internal bars basically work to compensate for each other's weaknesses.

This AMPP standard practice provides a structure for setting up and maintaining a Corrosion Management System (the System) for existing atmospherically exposed reinforced concrete structures. This standard is concerned with the risk-based management of corrosion to maintain the safe operation of structures and to minimize the risk of unexpected failures and unplanned closures and outages. The Standard applies to any reinforced concrete structure that is atmospherically exposed including: parking structures, bridges, residential or commercial buildings, and any structures at risk of corrosion development.
This AMPP standard practice presents guidelines for galvanic cathodic protection (GCP) of reinforcing steel in atmospherically exposed concrete elements or structures. These guidelines are intended for owners, engineers, architects, contractors, and those concerned with the mitigation of reinforced concrete corrosion through the application of GCP systems. The information in this standard as it relates to GCP systems is intended for atmospherically exposed concrete structures and is not applicable to concrete with nonferrous reinforcement or epoxy-coated, galvanized, or other types of coated reinforcement. GCP applications for buried and submerged reinforced concrete structures are not addressed in this standard.
