Abstract
All materials or products, plants, constructions and building made of structural elements are subjected to physical wear during
use. Corrosion is a multi- billion dollar problem. Corrosion causes deterioration of material and leads to destruction of
structures ultimately affects the environment. Corrosion is a chemical or electrochemical phenomenon which can attack any metal
or substances through reaction by the surrounding environment. The second is conservation, applied primarily to metal
resources, the worlds supply of which is limited. The project is aimed at preventing corrosion that is minimising the rate of
corrosion using polypropylene fibre and epoxy coating. In this work an attempt is planned to study the effects of fibres in concrete
and to study the coating provided to the reinforcement. To accelerate the corrosion for a short term process of impressed current
is induced. In this project it is aimed to study the effect of coating given to the reinforcement and effect of adding fibre in the
concrete.
