About Test Methods of Corrosion State of Reinforced Concrete Structures

Abstract:

The article describes the traditional methods used in Russia for testing of reinforcement corrosion conditions including peculiarities and weak sides of it. The new methods of non-destructive testing, which are used mainly in foreign countries, are overviewed there. The physical basics and the advantages of the testing method of half-cell potential are also characterized. A relatively new method of non-destructive testing of reinforcement corrosion condition is the method of measuring the concrete resistivity. The article describes the principal of its application and the factors influencing the measuring result. There are also the data of this method application for covering inspection of the Kurskiy station in Moscow.
