TECHNIQUES TO ASSESS THE CORROSION ACTIVITY OF STEEL REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES

This is the first publication of its kind featuring the most basic as well as state of the art techniques for evaluating reinforced concrete corrosion damage. Thirteen comprehensive, peer-reviewed papers explore the following topics: Using assessment information to calculate service life data; How corrosion rate measurements predict time cracking; The relationship between chloride ingress or carbonation front movement and corrosion; The use of models based on finite element analysis; Guard ring electrode usage in corrosion rate measurement; Magnetic field techniques as a non-invasive evaluation method; Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to examine steel in cement pastes; Case studies involving marine structures and a corroding ice rink.
