Abstract
The paper discusses the corrosion of reinforcing steel in residential slab foundations. Several housing developments were constructed on highly chloride contaminated soil. The slabs were placed in direct contact with the soil, without installation of a moisture barrier. The paper presents test data generated during the investigation of the damaged slabs. Various methods of repair have been employed. The paper discusses the repair techniques, their effectiveness and relative economics.
