This document specifies a procedure for carrying out impressed current electrochemical realkalization of carbonated reinforced concrete in exis ing structures. It is applicable to atmospherically exposed parts of structures with ordinary reinforcement embedded in concrete. This document does not apply to concrete containing prestressing steel which can suffer hydrogen embrittlement during realkalization, or to concrete containing epoxy-coated or galvanized reinforcement, or if chloride contamination is contributing to reinforcement corrosion.
