Abstract:
Monitoring the open circuit potential of reinforcement is used to identify a corrosion occurrence in concrete. For carbon steel (CS) rebars, The ASTM C876 standard provides the correlation between the potentials measured and the steel rebar condition. To suggest a classification for galvanized steel and dual-coated (zinc/ epoxy) rebars, the potentials of zinc and steel were measured considering various area ratios in simulated pore solutions. The results indicated the CS corrosion in zinc/CS couples cannot be predicted using a criterion similar to ASTM C876.
