Comprehensive Effects of Temperature and Relative Humidity on Rebar Corrosion in Concrete
The corrosion rate of steel in concrete is highly dependent on the heterogeneous structure of the concrete and the environmental exposure conditions. Temperature and relative humidity are two important environmental factors that simultaneously influence the corrosion process and cannot be separated or isolated from each other. The interaction of temperature and relative humidity for characterizing the corrosion rate has been sufficiently studied. The resules show that the higher the temperature is
the greater the relative humidity is when rebar corrosion rate reaches the max
and as to different relative humidity
the increasing extent of rebar corrosion rate with rise in temperature is different.
