Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to explore the effect of corrosion monitoring technology for ensuring concrete structure safety.

Design/methodology/approach

A new monitoring system scheme with unattended operation to evaluate the durability of concrete structures is presented, which includes four components, namely, a multi-function embedded sensor, a microprocessor data collecting module, a system data analysis and storage module, and a remote server module.

Findings

The system carries out monitoring of chloride ion concentration and pH in concrete, corrosion current density and of the self-corrosion potential of the reinforcing steel bar.

Originality/value

This system provides real-time, online, lossless monitoring for concrete structures.
