The expansion of the corrosion products (iron oxides) of carbon steel reinforcement structures may induce mechanical stress that can cause the formation of cracks and disrupt the concrete structure. If the rebars have been poorly installed and are located too close to the concrete surface in contact with the air, spelling can easily occur: flat fragments of concrete are detached from the concrete mass by the rebar’s corrosion and may fall down.
Examples of practical implementation
For a three successful years of practical implementation in West African sub-region, Viva has participated in more then 1000 projects in areas of industrial, road, real estate and other construction.
We are grateful to all our clients for their choice of innovative, modern and ‘green’ material that will serve its purpose on a one side and save money on the another.
