Abstract:
While completing concrete repairs, is it necessary to remove sound concrete if a nearby reinforcing bar exhibits rust? Can terms like corrosion or rust be used interchangeably? This month’s Q&A provides answers to these questions as well as a discussion on various factors influencing the extent of a repair of corrosion-related damage in concrete structures.
