Abstract

The coastal areas are  considered as one of the most  aggressive environment to the reinforced concrete construction, the corrosion of reinforced  steel  leads to early deterioration  in reinforced concrete and reduces its durability.

The high economical cast ,which is caused by corrosion of reinforced steel  in reinforced concrete constructions , made the greatest  problem in the infrastructure  in the industrial countries. Recently it has led to high repair costs. Sometimes exceeding the construction cost or it has led to the exit of the establishment from investment.

The most harmful material to the reinforced concrete  structure in the coastal environments is the penetration of chlorides into the reinforced concrete, this is why the corrosion caused by the chlorides is considered  one of the most dangerous problems to those installations.

The research aims to study the effect of the concrete resistance  on the protection of the reinforcing steel in the reinforced concrete installation and on the bond stress  between  concrete and steel, through carrying out accelerated electrochemical tests and bond test of samples and finding out  the result and recommendations .
