Physical Based Techniques for Monitoring Corrosion in RC

Abstract:

It is imperative to develop effective techniques to monitor the condition of steel corrosion in reinforced concrete (RC) for ensuring structural serviceability and durability. In the past decade, some physical based techniques have been proposed as alternative tools for monitoring corrosion. These physical based monitoring techniques can conduct accurate condition assessment of steel corrosion through direct measurements on embedded steels. In this paper, some primary physical based monitoring techniques for condition assessment of steel corrosion in reinforced concrete in the recent years are presented and the challenges and future trends in the development of physical based monitoring techniques for condition assessment of corrosion in reinforced concrete are also put forward.
