Galvanizing concrete embedded steel reinforcements is one of the methods for avoiding their corrosion. However, whether they can guarantee predicted service lives for structures exposed to highly chloride containing media remains controversial. This paper analyzes he protective efficiency of galvanized steel embedded in concrete specimens of variable cement/water/sand ratios immersed in sea water. The results are compared with those obtained for bare steel under the same conditions. The influence of concrete porosity on the corrosion rate is discussed.
