Corrosion of metals and alloys — Determination of the corrosion rates of embedded steel reinforcement in concrete exposed to simulated marine environments

This document specifies the apparatus, materials, specimen preparation, procedures, results and reports for comparing the corrosion rates of steel reinforcement bars in concrete in simulated marine and coastal environments. This document is not applicable to galvanized steel reinforcement. It gives guidelines for material selection in corrosion design. In order to illustrate the methodology, Annex A provides examples of experimental results.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction
Structurally deficient concrete is caused by deterioration due to corrosion, mainly induced by chlorides
from de-icing salts and marine exposure. The structural durability of concrete has become an issue of
common concern to engineering.
The high humidity and high salt spray characteristics of the marine environment need higher durability
structures. More specific requirements for the corrosion-resistant properties of reinforced steel bars,
as well as the corresponding testing technology requirements, have been put forward.
In consideration of engineering practices, corrosion properties could be predicted on the basis of
testing the corrosion rate via the comparative test of the steel bar specimen and a reference steel bar
specimen. This document is consistent with the actual conditions of concrete structure exposure and
can provide support for the development and selection of corrosion-resistant steel.
