Summary

Cathodic protection, an important weapon in combating corrosion of steel in reinforced structures, is not yet widely understood by the practicing engineer or architect, who may be wary of applying an electrical charge to a structure. This book explains the processes of corrosion, and the relevance of cathodic protection in its prevention. The emphasis is on practical aspects, although relevant theory is included.
