scope:

A corrosion survey of a reinforced concrete structure is often a component of a large condition and rating process. It is important that the information collected during the corrosion survey is concise and clearly presented. To achieve that, investigators coming from a corrosion paradigm must become familiar with the basics of reinforced concrete construction. Likewise, if an investigator comes from a civil engineering or architectural paradigm, they must become familiar with reinforcing steel corrosion processes.
