But won't the dams constant wetness results in, as hokie put it "the alkalinity of the concrete being reduced to the level where the steel is not protected from the atmospheric conditions".. this should cause dams rebars to corrode and all dams fail at certain time.. doesn't it.. you mean not all constant wetness results in alkalinity decrease? What cause alkalinity decrease then?
