The standard specifies methods for determining the rate of corrosion of steel bars exposed to concrete in a simulated marine environment. The standard aims to evaluate and compare the corrosion performance of steel bars under different conditions in order to effectively assess the durability of concrete structures. The standard details requirements for test equipment, materials, sample prepatives, test procedures and reporting of results, and provides examples to illustrate the presentation of experimental results. Applicable to the design and selection of corrosion resistant steel bars to provide support for corrosion control and material selection in engineering practice. The standard does not apply to galvanized steel bars, the focus is on predicting the possible corrosion characteristics of steel bars in actual marine and coastal environments.
