A state-of-the-art review on monitoring technology and characterization of reinforcement corrosion in concrete
Source abstract
Abstract
Steel bar corrosion is one of the key factors that reduce the service life of concrete structures under aggressive environment. Accurate monitoring and real-time characterization of reinforcement corrosion are crucial for quantitatively assessing the degradation of concrete structure. This paper summarizes the principles, technical characteristics, characterization methods, and development trends of electrochemical and physical monitoring technologies for reinforcement corrosion in concrete. It also reviews the current status and effectiveness of integrated monitoring using various technologies in recent years. Finally, this paper provides the application prospects of three-dimensional visualization and artificial intelligence in the field of monitoring reinforcement corrosion in concrete. It is pointed out that the development and application of low-cost remote (wireless) long-term tracking technology for reinforcement corrosion monitoring is a future research direction.
