Mid-rise buildings #4: Exposed issues - reinforcing steel cover (October 2018)
Product Description
Steel reinforcing relies on being sufficiently deep (called cover) within the concrete to protect it from moisture and corrosion. When reinforcing steel is too close to the surface, it begins rusting and expanding, causing the surrounding concrete to break away and reducing the tensile strength of the steel.
