Use of valid cathodic protection criteria to effectively mitigate corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete is extremely important. Experiments have been conducted to investigate the 100mV polarization shift criterion for steel in concrete. Based on the kinetics of steel corrosion in concrete and mitigation of corrosion current, the validity of the 100 mV polarization shift was studied on laboratory specimens with three different chloride concentrations, temperatures and moisture contents of the concrete.
