  as an observation, when rebar is exposed to atmosphere as it is in these photos, it begins to rust at an accelerated rate and will actually displace the concrete, further weakening the structure... thank you discovery channel.

  Yah... but even worse is the spalling from the expanding reo -inside- the concrete when water finds its way in and tracks the fissures. This is where the most damage starts... Thank you Channel Pedant.

  we see the damage in the older sections of concrete highway left here in the northeast.
