1. Context
Concrete is one of the world's most widely used construction materials. It consists mainly of cement, aggregates (sand and gravel), water and, where appropriate, additives or admixtures. Combined with reinforcement, it forms an assembly capable of withstanding compressive and tensile forces. Its durability has been the subject of numerous studies.
Reinforcement corrosion is one of the main causes of deterioration of reinforced concrete structures in all areas of construction, as described in the article
