Concrete in Cold Weather: Why It Needs Special Attention

TeamCivil Concrete, Durability
Cold Weather Concreting

Concrete is one of the strongest, most trusted building materials in the world. But when it comes to concrete in cold weather, things get complicated fast. Cold temperatures slow down the chemical reactions inside concrete.

Cathodic Protection of Steel in Concrete: Safeguarding Structures from Corrosion

TeamCivil Concrete, Durability
Cathodic Protection

Cathodic protection is the most expensive method of protection. Engineers usually use it in protecting pipelines in the petroleum industry. Also, it is suitable for use in reinforced concrete structures and also for special structures

The Incipient Anode Effect

TeamCivil Concrete, Durability
The Incipient Anode Effect

The Incipient Anode Effect When an area of steel is corroding under the influence of chloride contamination, steel is dissolving causing the formation of iron ‘ions’, tiny charged particles of iron. Simultaneously, electrons are released
