On-Site Determination of the Polarization Resistance in a Reinforced Concrete Beam

Corrosion potential mapping is a useful qualitative technique for measuring the risk of corrosion for reinforcements. However, occasionally this requires not only knowing whether or not the steel is active, but also how fast it is corroding. Polarization resistance is a quantitative technique for measuring corrosion intensity, which has been used only in laboratory experiments on small specimens up to now. In this paper, the basis for...
