Abstract
In this study, the results of corrosion behavior of reinforcing steel showed a consistence among the data obtained by open-circuit potential monitoring, LPR and EIS measurements. Steel/copper sensor showed a good correlation in concrete environment between sensor output and corrosion rate of steel bar. However, there was no relationship between steel/stainless steel sensor output and corrosion rate of steel bar due to the low galvanic current output. Through the relationship between the steel/copper sensor output and the corrosion rate of reinforcing steel, the real corrosion damage of the reinforcing steel can be detected. Consequently, this confirms that the galvanic sensor system is a good method for detection of corrosion in reinforced concrete.
