CONCRETE CORROSION EVALUATION

Once the corrosion process has started in a concrete structure, it is impossible to revert the damage in the steel rebars. When corrosion has started, three properties can be monitored to assess the remaining rebar:

– Corrosion extension in the structure
– Severity of corrosion in the reinforcing steel
– Reinforcement corrosion rate

Neodex evaluates the corrosion in steel by means of testing according to the following methods:
– Concrete Electrical Resistance
– Half-Cell Potentials
– Polarization Resistance to determine corrosion rate
