Abstract
GALVANIZING is at present being advocated as a means of combating corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete, and galvanized high-tensile wire is already being used extensively in stressed concrete structures. A survey of existing literature on this subject yielded little useful information, except that various investigators have reported widely divergent results, often in direct conflict.
