Contaminating concrete structures with chlorides causes severe damages to the reinforcing steel bars. The electrochemical chloride extraction (ECE) was proved during 1970s as a repair technique for extracting chlorides from reinforced concrete structures. If inadequate treatment plan is used in ECE treatment; a severe drawbacks can be faced. These drawbacks can be for instance; embrittlement of the reinforcing bars which affect the bearing capacity of structure, or prolonging the treatment which icrease the cost of the treatment. This book includes previews on some of previous relating works...
