Corrosion of reinforcing steel has a great influence in reducing the lifetime of concrete structures; Carbonation of the concrete pore solution causes surface corrosion on the steel and diffusion of chloride ions through the capillary system of the concrete cover causes pitting corrosion on the steel surface. Corrosion of metals is highly dependent on the environmental conditions. Exposure to chloride ions can be critical to the service life of reinforced concrete structures. The durability of reinforced concrete structures exposed to deicing salt or marine environments can be affected by impact of chloride ions. Detection methods for the rate of corrosion of non-destructive and destructive procedures were analysed. The potential mapping applied on the concrete surface was discussed as a standard method for corrosion detection and will be explained in detail including the application boundaries of the method. It is assumed that the corrosion behaviour of reinforcing steel depends on crack widths. To analyse that, 8 coated and 8 uncoated test samples with different concrete strength classes were used. The concrete objects were exposed to a 3% sodium chloride solution. The corrosion behaviour of reinforcing steel is analysed by using potential mapping with different reference electrodes (Ag/AgCl and Cu/CuSO4). The results show a significant correlation between crack size and protection system on the surface. The maximum crack width with a low indication of corrosion was found to be 0.1 mm.

Potential Mapping

Electrochemical potential mapping according to guideline B3 of DGZfP (German Society for Nondestructive Testing) is a recognized technique for the localization of corroding reinforcing steels. In reinforced concrete structures the measured potentials are not necessarily directly linked to the corrosion likelihood of the reinforcing steel. The measured values may be significantly affected, different from, e.g., stress measurement, by different influences on the potential formation at the phase boundary metal/concrete itself as well as the acquisition procedure. Due to the complexity of influencing factors there is a risk that the results are misinterpreted. Therefore, in a training concept firstly the theoretical basics of the test method should be imparted. Then, frequently occurring practical situations of various influencing factors will be made accessible to the participants by a model object specially designed for this purpose. The aim is to impart profound knowledge concerning the characteristics of potential mapping for detecting corrosion of reinforcing steel in order to apply this technique in practice as reliable and economical test method.

Abstract In this state of the art report the electrochemical, non destructive techniques for the survey, assessment and the quality control of reinforced concrete structures such as the potential mapping, the measuring of concrete resistivity and the polarisation resistance for on-site applications are described. Along with a short description of each technique especially those aspects are discussed, that are important for on-site applications: possibilities and limits of the technique as well its suitability for use in the different stages of rehabilitation works. The examples from practical on-site applications will be presented in a following report.
