Best Answer

The clear cover is the concrete from outer face of stirrups to outer face of concrete. cover is provided to safe guard reinforcement from various environmental agents like moisture, harmful chemicals like sulphates and chlorides , carbonation due to atmospheric CO2 and moisture, chemical gases , near sea, sea water spray etc. Thickness of cover depends on the importance of structure, exposure conditions, fire rating required.- Satyanarayana, Hyderabaad,India
