This paper describes a detailed investigation on corrosion of steel bars in concrete at construction joints with different joint preparation. Cylindrical specimens with joint at mid-height were fashioned and exposed to the atmospheric environment for 25 years. After 25 years of exposure, the specimens were tested for carbonation depth, as well as electrochemical and physical evaluation of corrosion on the steel bars at the joint region. Results, presented and discussed herein, conclude that to enhance long-term durability, laitance from the surface of the joints should be removed. After brushing-off the laitance, application of a mortar coating was found to be very effective for long-term durability. Other findings are also provided.
