Explanation:
"When designing a concrete structure, it is normal to state the concrete cover for the rebar (the depth within the object that the rebar will be)."

Adequate concrete cover is one of the best ways to protect steel reinforcement from corrosion.

Example sentence(s):
  • The deterioration of reinforced concrete is mainly due to reinforcement corrosion
  • n structures to be built, is obtained mainly by controlling the thickness and the quality of the concrete cover.
