commonly used at coastal cities in Argentina is being studied. The basic objectives are: 1) to evaluate
the influence of certain local practices that affect the rebar corrosion process, 2) to establish a corrosion
evaluation criterion based on measurements of concrete resistivity, 3) to evaluate the effect to latex and
epoxi in repairing mortars
