Abstract

The effectiveness of cathodic protection (CP) in mitigating corrosion on buried carbon steel structures is limited by the inability to (1) detect ongoing corrosion and (2) determine the level of CP in the presence of voltage (IR) drop in the environment. In this study, the feasibility was established for using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as a monitoring tool for detecting corrosion on cathodically protected carbon steel structures in soil and concrete.
