Patch repair technology with sacrificial zinc anodes in RC slabs with corroded steel bars by Christian, Alvin

“…Furthermore, the highest amount of macrocell corrosion can be encountered at steel segments near the patch repair area. Compared with each sample, it was discovered that zinc sacrificial anodes installed within areas with high level of chloride contamination provided the best protection for the steel reinforcement against corrosion damage.…”
