Abstract:
Corrosion study of the reinforced concrete is one of the most commonly investigation for the construction in civil engineering. The corrosion of embedded steel for the structures in the marine area like the Persian Gulf Sea Water needed considerable attentions. Presence of chlorides and decrease of pH in pores reinforcement depth of concrete is a serious problem. Research the corrosion rate in reinforced concrete system using fibers with a rebar is investigated. Cellulose and Carbon fiber materials are used as inhibitors. The addition of small quantities of these materials into the concrete mixture, will change the concrete permeability and the corrosion resistance rate. Tests demonstrate that a decrease of the corrosion level occurs when the content ratio of carbon material addition is increased up to 1% and adding 0.6 (Kg/m3) cellulose fiber reduces the corrosion rate
