The chloride-induced corrosion of steel reinforcing bars (rebars) in concrete structures can be vitiated by the presence of chemicalcompounds that serve as corrosion inhibitors. a simple, quick procedure has been developed to test for the relative effectiveness of inhibitors. the test is based on the observable corrosion of multiple test specimens under specified conditions. details of the test procedure are reported along with the results for a range of inhibitors. this paper appears in transportation research record no. 1304, highway maintenance operations and research 1991.
