Abstract The phenomenon of concrete cracking in sea water has been investigated by impressing an anodic direct current upon the embedded metal and monitoring time to cracking. Various embedded metals were employed, and these ranked in order of increasing concrete cracking time as cadmium → zinc and copper → nickel and steel → molybdenum. Additional complementary experiments were conducted to consider the chemistry of the pore water in the vicinity of the metal-concrete interface of the impressed current specimens. These involved step-wise titration of a concrete saturated distilled water solution with various metal chlorides, and it was determined that chloride ion concentrations in the range 0.05 gms/mL can cause a pH shift to the acid range. The pH determinations from such titration experiments are in general agreement with pH measurements upon fractured faces of the concrete specimens employed in the impressed current tests. The experimental results are discussed within the frame of present theories fo...
