This invention relates to a reinforced concrete structure of enhanced corrosion resistance. The invention structure finds particular utility in service in brackish or saline water. The reinforced concrete of the structure is, on its surface, in contact with a low resistivity grout. Anode elements are in contact with the grout, such as at the surface of the reinforced concrete or by partial or full embedment in the grout. Together with this combination, a high resistivity material is provided as a covering over the low resistivity grout and anode elements. The resulting structure is especially useful when in contact with seawater, and most particularly seawater subject to tidal action. |
