The behavior of galvanized steel in tropical marine environments is analyzed. Most galvanized structures exposed to marine environments show evident signs of deterioration, particularly in tropical climates. The tests indicated that the bare galvanizing is not the most adequate coating for a high-chloride environment. The results show that the bare galvanized steel should not be used in these atmospheres, but should be coated with high-performance systems.
