Corrosion determination of reinforcement using the electrical resistance method

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: The determination of reinforcement corrosion using the electrical resistance method of embedded bars in the concrete beams in laboratory conditions is described in this paper.For comparison, the achieved data from non-destructive measurements were compared to data from subsequent destructive tests when weight losses were recorded for each of the steel bars after their exposure time.Laboratory measurements of the reinforcements were realized particularly for verification of whether the electrical resistance method could be suitable for an in-situ corrosion-evaluation process.The next part of the research was focused on the corrosion simulation of the steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete.The effect of corrosion was simulated by a nonlinear numerical analysis with the program ATENA 3D using corrosion-rate data from a laboratory test.Keywords: corrosion,
