Among the various conditions existing in concrete, is that concerning the fissures caused by the increased volume of metal armor as a result of thickening caused by corrosion, which generates traction expansive forces, triggering the dreaded cracking .

To evaluate the degradation due to corrosion of metal embedded in the corrugated concrete against corrosive environments, are used for corrosion test chambers or chambers of laboratory accelerated tests.
