TLDR
In this article, the effect of anodic inhibitors (calcium nitrate Ca(NO3)2, calcium nitrite Ca( NO2)2 and potassium nitrate NaNO2) on the half cell potentials of steel rebars was evaluated in the marine tidal zone, at roof top and in air of 38°C and 90% relative humidity for 4 years.
Abstract
The effect of anodic inhibitors [calcium nitrate Ca(NO3)2, calcium nitrite Ca(NO2)2 and potassium nitrate NaNO2] has been evaluated using cylinders with steel rebars exposed to the following environments: in the marine tidal zone, at roof top and in air of 38°C and 90% relative humidity for 4 years. The experiments showed that the half cell potentials were more negative than the visual inspections proved when anodic inhibitors are used. Inhibitor dosage on 3–4% of cement weight seems sufficient to protect the rebar against corrosion. Capillary absorption experiments showed that the concrete porosity was unaffected by the inhibitors. The concentration profiles of chloride, nitrite and nitrate were investigated with respect to leaching. However, it was difficult to find the background level of nitrite due to possible chemical alteration.

Corrosion of steel by concrete

A C Smith
- 01 Jan 1982 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the reactions of various concretes on steel reinforcement and concluded that the most significant influences on the corrosion of prestressing wire in concrete are: the presence of chloride, presence of nitrates, the composition of concrete, the degree of carbonation of the concrete; concrete compaction and chlorides and sulphates should be used as far as possible when steel is embedded.

A review on the deterioration and approaches to enhance the durability of concrete in the marine environment

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the deterioration of concrete under seawater attack with particular interests in field exposure is presented, and the protocols to enhance the durability performance of marine concrete are also reviewed, such as using supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to mitigate rate of chloride penetration and, more promisingly, to use alternative binder systems.

Effects of phosphate on the chloride-induced corrosion behavior of reinforcing steel in mortars

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of phosphate as a corrosion inhibitor on the corrosion behavior of as-received and pre-rusted reinforcing steels in mortar specimens was investigated after 360 days exposure in 3.5% NaCl solution.

Influence of pH on the nitrite corrosion inhibition of reinforcing steel in simulated concrete pore solution

TL;DR: In this article, a significant corrosion inhibition has been observed at relatively low chloride contents of 0.045 M due to the presence of nitrite in these systems, but its efficiency decreases when the pH is reduced.
