Cathodic Protection of Steel in Concrete in Australia: History And Current Status

摘要

There is no doubt that CP of steel in concrete in Australia has emerged from being an experimental method in the mid-eighties to a very well established technique today. Various aspects of cathodic protection of steel in concrete are detailed in AS2832.5-2002, Australian Standard for Cathodic Protection of Metals, Part 5, Steel in Concrete Structures. Today, cathodic protection of steel in concrete in Australia is a very well recognised and accepted method for the repair of reinforced concrete structures suffering from chloride induced corrosion.
