Use of Vibrating Wire Strain Gauges to Monitor Corrosion-induced Deterioration of Concrete Xiaochun Liu a, *, Jun Wei b and Zhenyu Wangc School of Civil Engineering, Central South University, P.R.
Introduction Reinforced concrete structure is usually thought to be an economical and very durable structural type in practical engineering.
Along with the rapid progress of information technology, many electrochemical and non-destructive techniques are available for steel reinforcement corrosion assessment and structural concrete durability monitoring in civil engineering at present, such as open circuit potential (OCP) and Surface potential (SP) measurements, concrete electric resistivity measurement, linear polarization resistance (LPR) measurement, Tafel extrapolation, Galvanostatic pulse transient method, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), harmonic analysis, noise analysis, ultrasonic pulse velocity technique, X-ray, Gamma radiography measurement, infrared thermograph electrochemical measurements and some integrations of these techniques.

The diffusion modes based on Fick’s 2nd law of diffusion, which takes the apparent diffusion coefficient as a time-dependency parameter, have been widely used by engineers and researchers at home and abroad.
