Advances in Monitoring of Reinforcement Corrosion in Concrete Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

Corrosion of steel bars has a serious influence on durability and safety of reinforced concrete structures, which should be effectively monitored for the maintenance of reinforced concrete structures. This paper reviews several main techniques firstly, and presents the ongoing work at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics to develop sensors to monitor the corrosion of reinforcement in concrete. It is hoped that the paper will be helpful to the field engineers and laboratory researchers who are monitoring and studying the corrosion of reinforcement in concrete structures.
