Reinforced concrete components and structures have historically been widely employed in marine applications, primarily because of their relative ease of construction, maintenance and favorable economics. This material is, however, susceptible to corrosion damage, primarily as a consequence of penetration of moisture and chlorides to the reinforcing steel-concrete interface.1 Subsequent corrosion of the steel leads to reaction product accumulation within the concrete with resultant tensile stresses, cracking and spalling.2
