Question 1

What initiates chloride-induced corrosion in steel reinforcement?

  • A low water-cement ratio
  • Chloride concentration exceeding the threshold limit
  • Proper curing of concrete

💡 Hint: Focus on what caused the protective barrier to fail.

Question 2

True or False: The splash zone is the area least affected by chlorides.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about where the most aggressive conditions are.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are designing a beachfront structure. Discuss the specific design strategies you would implement to protect against chloride-induced corrosion.

💡 Hint: Remember, the environment is aggressive and demands high protective measures.

Question 2

Analyze the effectiveness of the Rapid Chloride Penetration Test (RCPT) compared to traditional permeability tests in evaluating concrete's defense against chlorides.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how the tests differ in their approach and outcomes.
