Corrosion of steel reinforcement embedded in concrete is one of the main causes of degradation of reinforced concrete structures. Degradation occurs in reinforced concrete structures from corrosion caused by the Chloride ingress into concrete. That degradation has a severe impact on the structure in terms of maintenance and rehabilitation costs. Therefore, early detection of reinforcement corrosion is important for efficient maintenance, repair and planning. Meanwhile, the evaluation of the corrosion of reinforcement by non-destructive measurements have been used a lot. In particular CM-II (corrosion meter) is used to measure the polarization resistance, but has some disadvantages. Embedded mini-sensor has been developed in order to overcome these disadvantages. In this study, measurement of corrosion by using the mini-sensor is compared with the measured results by CM-II to verify the validity of the newly developed mini senor. Results show that there are agreement in trends of the parameters measured and as such the developed mini sensor has a promising start to be used.

The purpose of this paper is looking at the dynamic response of existing reinforced concrete structures which have possibly sustained various levels of damage, a set of tests need to be identified that will be able to detect damage and quantify the damage if damage exists. In this work it is presented a further study on the effect of damage on the behavior of reinforced concrete beams. In particular, the non-linear behavior of these beams is considered once significant cracking has been introduced, outlining the stage of testing carried out in dynamic field.
