Abstract

In the study characterization of steel corrosion in concrete at the macro- and micro-level was performed. Physical (electrical-resistance probes) and electrochemical techniques (coupled multi-electrode arrays) were implemented in order to upgrade the general information that conventional electrochemical techniques can provide. Measurements were performed in mortar exposed to periodic wetting and drying. Steel corrosion damage was assessed by micro X-ray computer tomography (CT) and SEM. The results were compared and interpreted. By combined use of micro-CT and electrochemical methods, new insights into the corrosion mechanisms of steel in concrete were obtained.
