    Question

    To prevent corrosion of steel reinforcement in RCC structures, the pH value of concrete should be -

    A.

    Acidic

    B.

    Highly alkaline

    C.

    Neutral

    D.

    Just alkaline

    Correct option is B


    To prevent corrosion of steel reinforcement in RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) structures, the pH value of concrete should be highly alkaline. A pH of around 12 to 13 helps to form a passive layer on the surface of the steel, which protects it from corrosion.
