Corrosion of Reinforced Concrete in Accelerated Tests

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to study the correlation between accelerated corrosion and natural corrosion, reinforced surface morphology, steel potentials and corrosion quality were investigated by using full immersion and half immersion in this paper. The results showed that the effort of half immersion accelerated corrosion was similar to natural corrosion, and each of the tendencies of potential change was same, but the mechanisms of corrosion were different. The degree of steel corrosion, estimated by Faraday’s law, was slightly higher than the level of actual corrosion.
