Abstract
The article examines the main aspects of corrosion impact on reinforced concrete structures of buildings, including the mechanisms of corrosion damage, factors contributing to this process, and the consequences for the strength and durability of construction objects. Various types of corrosion are analyzed, such as uniform, localized, and electrochemical corrosion, as well as methods for diagnosing and assessing the condition of reinforced concrete structures. Particular attention is given to modern corrosion protection technologies, including anti-corrosion coatings and cathodic protection. In conclusion, the importance of regular monitoring and preventive measures is emphasized to ensure the safety and reliability of buildings under the influence of aggressive environmental factors. The article will be useful for engineers, architects, and construction specialists, as well as for students of related fields.
