The present work discusses Corrosion of Steel in Cracked Concrete'' by N.S. Berke, M.P. Dallaire, M.C. Hicks, and R.J. Hoopes, which was published in Corrosion 49, 11 (1993), pp. 934-943. The authors did not submit a reply. The paper by Berke, et al., discussed results based upon corrosion testing of cracked concrete beams. The aim of the study was to determine whether calcium nitrite (Ca[NO[sub 2]][sub 2]) would increase the corrosion resistance of steel in concrete.
