ABSTRACT
The object of the present paper was to diagnose about the
measurements for prevention, control and maintenance that have been
applied in Chile for the acceptable performance of the exposed steel
structures or reinforced concret, in relation with the risk of corrosion.
The first step was to analyse chilean standards that have direct or
indirect relation with the steel corrosion.
Afterwords, the more frecuent failures in port estructures in Chile were
investigated, where important amounts of money are expended to repair
corrosion damaged structures.
