In olden days reinforcing bars in concrete are not got
rusted even till now. But recently provided steel getting
rusted in concrete.

Increased exposure to carbon dioxide from the air reduces
the pH of the concrete mix through carbonation. The reduced
pH causes the steel to corrode. May also be a result of
increased use of salts during the winter season.
