Corrosion is responsible for up to 90% of damage to reinforced concrete structures. The corrosion in reinforced structure has become a significant issue in the field of construction. Besides, because of which monetary venture has been expanded to forestall this corrosion occurring in the Reinforced designs. Steel gets oxidize in the presence of oxygen and water. Indeed, even presence of oxygen in the substantial pore won't cause an erosion at high antacid climate. Concrete contains tiny pores which contain high groupings of solvent calcium, sodium and potassium oxides, this makes soluble state of pH 12–13. The antacid condition prompts a 'passive' layer forming on the steel surface. The thick uninvolved layer over the support forestalls the alkalinity. This paper is the review of processes involved in corrosion, supervising the corrosion and its prevention measures.
