Modeling of Corrosion Rate and Resistivity of Steel Reinforcement of Calcium Aluminate Cement Mortar by Cristina Argiz, Miguel Ángel Sanjuán, Pedro Castro Borges, Emiliano Álvarez

“…When such a transformation of phases is completed, a characteristic value regarding both corrosion intensity (Icorr) and resistivity (related to the ohmic drop of the cementitious material) is reached, which depends mainly on the mix proportions of the material and the curing procedure. This paper presents the characteristic corrosion intensity values of steel embedded in mortars made of CAC after five years of exposure to either a 0.5 mol/l or 1.5 mol/l NaCl solution in order to be applied to estimate the service life of reinforced concrete made of calcium aluminate cement (CAC) which is used in real construction structures. …”
