ABSTRACT
Chapter 4 dealt with the different test methods available for assessing corrosion related properties of reinforced concrete. Most of the techniques are applied with hand-held battery operated equipment and a ‘one off’ reading is taken. In some cases such as cover meter measurements that reading will not change. In others, such as concrete resistivity, corrosion rate or corrosion potential (reference electrode potential) it will change as aggressive agents in the environment move into the concrete and lead to or accelerate corrosion.
