Although its application was originally focused in the inspection of large metallic structures, ECT has now a wide application in other areas of engineering.
The ECT probes were handmade constructed at the Unesp NDT laboratory, by electrical engineering students.
The Measurement Site and the Test Slabs The slabs for the tests were produced at the laboratory of Civil Construction, of the Faculty of Engineering of the São Paulo State University, with the following dimensions: 300 mm length, 200 mm width and 100 mm height.

On comparison between reinforcement electricity accelerated corrosion and natural corrosion of concrete Sen Lia, Junyin Yanb and Xiaogang Wangc School of Civil Engineering, Yantai University, Yantai 264005, China alsn881029@163.com, b 284669332@qq.com, cwxgnet@163.com Keywords: Reinforced concrete, Electricity accelerated corrosion, Natural corrosion Abstract: Electricity accelerated corrosion is a common method to obtain corroded reinforced concrete specimens in current experimental research, and it has some relevance and differences with natural corrosion.
The premature structural damage caused by corrosion of reinforcement is universal, concealed, late accelerated, difficult for maintenance and harmful, which consequently becomes the focus concerned by the engineering.
The existing theory estimated values cannot satisfy engineering requirements.
