Abstract EN
In recent years, the corrosion of steel reinforcement has become a major problem in the construction industry.
Therefore, much attention has been given to developing methods of predicting the service life of reinforced concrete structures.
The progress of corrosion cannot be visually assessed until a crack or a delamination appears.
The corrosion process can be tracked using several electrochemical techniques.
Most commonly the half-cell potential measurement technique is used for this purpose.
However, it is generally accepted that it should be supplemented with other techniques.
Hence, a methodology for assessing the probability of corrosion in concrete slabs by means of a combination of two methods, that is, the half-cell potential method and the concrete resistivity method, is proposed.
An assessment of the probability of corrosion in reinforced concrete structures carried out using the proposed methodology is presented.
200 mm thick 750 mm × 750 mm reinforced concrete slab specimens were investigated.
Potential Ecorr and concrete resistivity ρ in each point of the applied grid were measured.
The experimental results indicate that the proposed methodology can be successfully used to assess the probability of corrosion in concrete structures.
