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…
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…
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…
Concrete corrosion testing is the assessment of whether, where, and how fast the steel reinforcement inside a concrete structure is corroding. Modern practice does this…
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…
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…

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…
Giatec would like to congratulate Lijie Chen and Ray Kai Leung Su of Hong Kong for their publication of “Effect of High Rebar Temperature During…
Recent advances in drone technologies (also known as unmanned aerial vehicles, UAVs) and non-destructive testing (NDT) have led to significant changes in the way data…
SmartRock® shows the exact hour your concrete is ready, so heaters shut off on data, not guesswork.
