Abstract
Abstract This chapter reviews different techniques for evaluating and measuring the corrosion of steel in concrete. Since corrosion consists of electrochemical reactions at the interface between the metal (i.e., reinforcing steel) and an electrolyte solution (i.e., concrete pore solution), most of these measurement techniques are based on electrochemistry and electrochemical measurement methods. In this chapter, conventional corrosion measurement methods, which have electrochemical bases, as well as nonconventional methods such as {LC} resonator, are discussed.
