On-site corrosion monitoring experience in concrete structures: potential improvements on the current-controlled polarization resistance method

The need for proactive maintenance of reinforced concrete structures with non-destructive testing (NDT) is less disputable today than ever. One of the most promising strategies in this regard is the in-situ measurement of the reinforcement corrosion rate. This study explored the reliability of modu...
