moresteel tend to have corrosion properties, which is a chemical phenomenon occurs due to the reaction into ions on metal surfaces in contact directly with the aqueous environment and oxygen. Corrosion of reinforcing steel is chemical or electrochemical reaction between the steel reinforcement with the environment.
The title of this paper is "Determine the cause of corrosion In Reinforced Concrete Structures" which aims to explain the concept of corrosion of steel and concrete damage, and how to prevent corrosion in reinforced concrete structures.
The research method using case study, with the literature study instrument. Systematic of writing starts from the First chapter Introduction, including: background, problem, the purpose of writing, and the benefits of writing. Followed Second makes review of the literature, The Third Chapter makes analysis and systematic, and the fourth chapter contains conclusions and recommendations.
The conclusion of this paper is corroded reinforcing steel, which is the beginning of concrete deterioration, which overall will shorten the life of the construction, The process of corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete occurs carbonation, degradation by sulfate and chloride. Circle of corrosion in reinforced concrete cracked and broken concrete result (construction destroyed) and causes the most dangerous is the sea water and groundwater because it contains sulfate ions.
How to prevent corrosion can be done in various ways: Coating, Chatodic protection, Make alloy or metal alloy that is resistant to rust, Tin plating, Galvanization, Cromium Plating, Sacrifical Protection, and lubrication with oil and grease.
