Abstract As of late, structural deterioration of RC structures affected by corrosion is widely reported. A new evolution in maintenance of RC structures is by cathodic protection by the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP). Using steel bar as a cathode and wrapping of CFRP as anode, which...
