This research analyses the behavior of corrosion, durability, and quality of reinforced concrete samples coated with two different materials when exposed to contaminated soil with sulfates. The initial assessment involved evaluating the water absorption rate of the coating materials before and after exposure to a solution containing 3%푁푎2푆푂4+3%푀푔푆푂4+3%퐾2푆푂4+3%퐶푎푆푂4to determine their durability. the corrosion potential and linear polarization resistance technique were employed to measure the corrosion rate. Carbon steel and AISI 304 steel bars were tested alongside a stainless counter electrode. The findings indicate that the solvent-based coating exhibited superior performance, demonstrating reduced corrosion and water absorption rates. Additionally, the presence of sulfates led to the formation of a surface layer on the concrete, initially aiding in limiting waterpenetration. However, over time, this layer eventually causes damage to the concrete from the inside out.
