Which consequence accelerates corrosion in chloride-exposed reinforced concrete?

💡 Explanation

Chloride ions induce pitting corrosion via electrochemical reaction and iron II to iron III oxidation on the rebar surfaces; this is because the oxidizing redox potential increases around chloride ions. This causes localized corrosion rather than passive oxide layer protection, therefore pitting accelerates failing via expansion.
