The book deals with state-of-the-art techniques available in the present
time to explore rusting of steel reinforcement in concrete environment
infinitesimally. The idea of the book is to grasp the concept of passive
layer, its breakdown, rusting of steel and the interface between steel
and concrete at the grass root level so that the original facts and
figures can be understood. The books deals with the hands on experience,
problems, solutions, case to case variations and limitations while using
infinitesimal techniques for analyzing corrosion process in reinforced
concrete structures. This is part I of the subject under consideration
and will be followed by part II in the near future.
