Concrete Corrosion

About this subject

  • At the completion of this subject students will be able to:

    1. explain the basic corrosion mechanisms (electrochemical and chemical reactions) occurring in reinforced concrete structures
    2. identify the severity of corrosion in concrete in different environments and the risks associated with it
    3. assess different corrosion inspection and monitoring methods available and select suitable approaches
    4. evaluate and compare available corrosion prevention techniques and develop viable solutions.

Entry requirements

To enrol in this subject, you must be admitted into a degree.

Study load

0.125 EFTSL
This is in the range of 10 to 12 hours of study each week.

Equivalent full time study load (EFTSL) is one way to calculate your study load. One (1.0) EFTSL is equivalent to a full-time study load for one year.
