Almunium Concrete Interaction

I am looking for any information on the interaction of aluminum 5086-H111 in concrete. We have a track that in almost completely buried in concrete with 3/16" exposed near the ocean and it see sea spray. My question is what type of reaction takes place between the aluminum and concrete. Is there any aspects of this interaction should we be aware of and what is the rate of decay if there is any reaction?
