ABSTRACT
In terms of a lifetime assessment the time-dependent system parameters like driving voltage or polarisation resistances will be investigated.
In order to achieve this an extensive laboratory test series has been initiated. Based on a defined reference case selected boundary conditions such as temperature, cement type, water application and chloride content will be varied. The influences on the above mentioned time-dependent model parameters and on the actual damage will then be studied by continuous and periodical electrochemical and destructive investigations. The detailed surface analysis of the dismounted anode bars will be achieved by means of a high resolution 3-D camera technology. The created data set of the scanned anode surface will then be analyzed using suitable software packages with respect to total mass loss, pit distributions and pit depths, see figure 3.
