[0004] In
reinforced concrete structures, the corrosion of steel bars is one of the important factors affecting the safety and durability of
construction engineering structures; when steel bars are corroded, the volume expands, the bond between steel bars and concrete decreases, and the concrete protective layer peels off. In turn, the strength of the building structure is reduced, and the steel bar corrosion occurs inside the building structure, which is difficult to detect with the
naked eye. When repairing a slightly damaged building caused by steel bar corrosion, there are problems of heavy
workload, high cost and poor benefit. The problem is that when the damage of the building is serious, it will bring immeasurable losses to people's lives and property safety; therefore, it is necessary to monitor the corrosion state of the steel bars in the concrete and grasp the internal conditions of the building structure, so that Early warning before the damage occurs to minimize the loss
At present, the
monitoring methods for steel corrosion are divided into physical methods and chemical methods. The commonly used physical methods include the resistance probe method and the optical
fiber sensing method. The former uses a probe made of the same material as the structural steel bar and embeds the probe in the concrete structure. Among them, the rate and degree of corrosion of the steel bar are inferred based on the change of the resistance of the real-time monitoring probe. The latter is based on the monitoring principle that after the steel bar is rusted, the expansion stress is generated on the surface of the steel bar, and the optical
fiber is affected by the stress to produce strain. The phase, frequency,
wavelength and polarization of the optical fiber are changed. The optical
fiber sensor has strong corrosion resistance and anti-interference ability, good durability, and can monitor the continuity of space. The
disadvantage is that the optical fiber sensing technology requires high technology and high cost; chemical There are half-
cell potential method,
AC impedance method and
linear polarization method. The principle of the half-
cell potential method is that when the steel bar is corroded, there is a
potential difference between the
anode area and the
cathode area, and the steel bar corrosion is evaluated by the measured current and
voltage values. To a certain extent, the
AC impedance method is to send a small current to the target building structure, measure the response of the target building structure to the small current, and then analyze the measured
alternating current spectrum. The measuring instruments used in this dynamic measurement method are very Expensive and influenced by the outside world, the later
data processing procedures are cumbersome, and cannot be popularized and used;
