A corrosion mapping test produces a spatial record of electrochemical corrosion state at a point in time. That record has real value. But the map…
Corrosion mapping equipment measures the electrochemical state of reinforcement across a defined survey area and presents the results as spatial contour maps. The gap between what these maps reveal and…
Non-destructive concrete testing (NDT) is a set of methods used to evaluate the condition of concrete and its embedded reinforcement without cutting, coring, or otherwise…
The strenuous job of planning a reinforced concrete structure does not end after your project is complete. Concrete structures can be exposed to elements like…
Corrosion is a natural process that occurs when the steel rebar within reinforced concrete structures rusts. In scientific terms, concrete corrosion is the “destruction of…
Corrosion is a natural process that occurs when a structure is exposed to elements like CO2 or chloride, which can penetrate the concrete all the…
Concrete professionals are facing the well-know issue of corrosion in concrete structures on a regular basis. Learn how chloride diffusion causes concrete corrosion, and how testing methods like ASTM C1202 and RCPT are helping construction projects
Reinforced concrete structures have shaped our cities for thousands of years, from historical buildings stretching as far back as the Romans to present day, such…
Winter in colder climates such as Canada, Alaska, and the Upper Mid-West entails treacherous and unpredictable driving conditions, with snow and ice build-up making roads unsafe. For over 70 years, the solution to this problem has been to cover roads with sodium chloride…
A corrosion assessment tool measures how quickly steel reinforcement inside concrete is corroding, so engineers can decide whether a structure needs repair, closer monitoring, or…
Corrosion is a natural process that begins when the steel rebar within reinforced concrete starts to rust. According to ACI, “corrosion occurs when the protective…
Damaged and deteriorating bridges are a major concern when it comes to transportation infrastructures. According to the ARTBA Bridge Report, “1 in 3 U.S. bridges…
Rebar corrosion is a recurrent problem in the construction industry. More specifically, it can affect the quality of a project by cracking and damaging the…
The concrete cracking article originally appeared on Bluey Technologies (archived). Concrete Cracks in Built Structures Concrete provides structures with strength, rigidity, and resilience from deformation….
