Corrosion
protection of reinforcing steel is of
primary importance to ensure the long life
of concrete structures. When deciding
on this corrosion protection, many options
exist. Some have staked their
performance on laboratory tests and
short-term field performance, while others
burden the initial budgets with large costs.
Hot-dip galvanizing has been providing
corrosion protection for reinforcing steel
for over 70 years, and remains the most
cost-effective way to protect reinforcing
steel in concrete. Hot-dip galvanizing
can help secure the nation's infrastructure for
decades and help designers strive to achieve
a 100-year service life.
