| Summary: | Abstract: Atmospheric corrosion is one of the parameters characterizing the technical condition of the functional elements of airport pavements - it allows to determine the degree of pavement degradation, estimate the appropriate frequency of periodic inspections and take appropriate measures to keep airfield pavements in permanent technical availability. In order to determine the corrosion resistance of the cement and asphalt concrete airfield pavement, atmospheric corrosivity tests determined on the basis of standard specimens exposure and determination of corrosion rates, form and appearance of deteriorations, as well as changes in physical properties at regular intervals are carried out. The samples were exposed to atmospheric conditions at military airport facilities. The article presents the rcorr corrosion rate results of low-carbon steel, zinc, copper and aluminum standard specimens obtained from selected airports of the Polish Armed Forces, starting from 2015. Then, the corrosivity categories of the atmosphere were determined on the basis of the performed measurements.
