Cover to stainless steel reinforcemented surface finishes

Corrosion of steel reinforcement is by far the most important single cause of deterioration in reinforced concrete structures. The risk of corrosion can be substantially reduced by using corrosion-resistant alloys, such as stainless steel, instead of carbon steel reinforcement. However, there is little guidance to specify the depth of concrete cover required when using stainless steel reinforcement.
