Preserving exposed rebar after saw cutting
Preserving exposed rebar after saw cutting
(OP)
As part of a retrofit of a building, we will be saw cutting concrete, which will leave rebar exposed. My concern is the exposed rebar will start to corrode and eventually cause decay of the whole slab. Does anyone have experience in this type of situation, and what might be recommended to preserve the bar?

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

Don't know that I'd necessarily mind just cutting and painting the end for an interior condition as long as owner/architect isn't concerned with being able to see it. Exterior condition I think I'd want the cover instead of the paint.
