Reinforcement Corrosion Assessment

Reinforcement corrosion assessments evaluate the presence and extent of corrosion affecting steel reinforcement embedded within concrete structures. Corrosion can significantly reduce the structural performance and durability of reinforced concrete.

The Process

A combination of testing techniques may be used, including electrochemical measurements and material sampling. These methods help identify areas where corrosion activity is occurring or likely to develop.

The Reason

Understanding corrosion activity helps engineers assess the long-term durability of a structure and determine whether remedial works are required.

The Application

These assessments are commonly used during structural investigations and durability studies of reinforced concrete structures.
