ABSTRACT
One of the major issues facing any consultant or owner of a structure suffering from chloride or carbonation induced corrosion is what type of repair to undertake. As we have seen from the previous chapters there are coatings and sealants, specialized patch repair materials, options for total or partial replacement, cathodic protection, chloride removal, realkalization and corrosion inhibitors. These can be applied to structures suffering different degrees of corrosion due to chloride attack, carbonation or a combination of the two. Each solution will have implications for the future maintenance requirements and expected service life of the structure.
