Advances of Monitoring Corrosion in Reinforced Concrete Based on UGW

Abstract:

Monitoring the condition of steel corrosion in reinforced concrete (RC) is imperative for ensuring structural serviceability and durability of RC structures. The techniques based on ultrasonic guided wave (UGW) gain more and more popularities as they have many advantages for monitoring corrosion in reinforced concrete. In this paper, UGW based monitoring techniques in the past decade are reviewed, including corrosion monitoring mechanism and feature extraction, monitoring corrosion induced deboning, monitoring pitting corrosion, monitoring corrosion induced interface roughness. Finally, the challenges and future trends in the development of UGW based monitoring techniques for condition assessment of corrosion inreinforced concrete are put forward in this paper.
