Abstract

This work reports recent results of sacrificial zinc strip anodes performance and its effects on current density variations in the effective protection of reinforced concrete structures. This work is carried out at a location situated in Navi Mumbai. This paper reports the results of 18 months study conducted on reinforced cement concrete specimens of different additive compositions of aggregates, attached with zinc anodes electrically, immersed in electrolyte solution and exposed to normal coastal atmosphere. The performance and effect of zinc sacrificial anodes was recorded regularly and evaluated by measuring Current in Shunt µA (voltage drop in mV) and a detailed discussion of the effects on the current density is included in this report.
