ON-SITE MEASUREMENT OF THE CORROSION RATE

Published: Jul 1, 1996
Abstract
Concrete provides to steel a long-term protection due to the alkalinity of the cement and to the physical isolation that the cover represents. However, when the carbonation front or the chloride ions reach the rebar, the steel develops an active corrosion which is detrimental towards the structural behavior. The consequences of the reinforcement corrosion are: (a) A decrease of the steel cross-action, (b) the possible loss of steel ductility,...
