Due to population growth and development of industry and transportation, the environment of human is started to become considerably polluted. Aggressive atmosphere and ground water increase the risk of corrosion of embedded reinforcement in concrete.

But waterproof materials are often expensive and need maintenance several times over the structure’s lifetime.
