Abstract
Corrosion of steel elements in masonry and concrete structures is a major cause of material and structural damage. Typical steel and iron corrosion damage phenomena are presented. The basic principles of active and passive cathodic protection are explained, and examples of how cathodic protection can be applied to steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete as well as to steel elements in masonry constructions are discussed.
