Problems solved by technology

Finally, OFS is theoretically suitable for measuring low values ​​and is less affected by environmental factors, but the fiber is fragile and requires an additional protective jacket to insulate against concrete (concrete is a corrosive medium)

no. 1 approach

[0090] In this embodiment, the method for assessing chloride concentration using the sensor described above is in Figure 7 described in detail in the flowchart.

[0091] In a first step S1 , the sensor 1 measures the capacitance C between each pair of facing electrodes 11 . Capacitance is measured by applying an alternating current between electrodes. This capacitance value is measured by analyzer 2 .

[0092] In a second step S2, the relative permittivity value ε is calculated from the capacitance value C using the following equation r :

[0093]

[0094] in:

[0095] -ε 0 is the vacuum permittivity (ε 0 =8.85×10 -12 F / m);

[0096] -d is the distance between the two electrodes, and

[0097] -S is the area of ​​the electrode exposed to the calcium aluminate layer (S=a'*b).

[0098] The relative permittivity ε is calculated by analyzer 2 and / or processing module 4 r .

[0099] In the third step S3, by the processing module 4 based on the relative permittivity va...

no. 2 approach

[0116] In this embodiment, the method for assessing chloride concentration using the sensor described above is in Figure 12 detailed in the flow chart.

[0117] In a first step S'1 the sensor 1 measures the impedance value between each pair of facing or coplanar electrodes 11 . Impedance is measured by applying an alternating current between two electrodes. This impedance value is measured by the analyzer 2 .

[0118] In a second step S'2, a chloride concentration estimate is calculated by the processing module 4 based on the measured impedance values.

[0119] In this embodiment, analyzer 2 is, for example, an Agilent 4294A analyzer coupled to a Kelvin clip 16089A. The instrument operates with a voltage of 0.5V in the frequency range of 100Hz-100kHz. Since the CA is in Figure 8 In the steady state shown in , a reduction in this frequency is possible.

[0120] This method has been experimented by using the same sensor as the first embodiment.

[0121] During the exper...

Abstract

The invention relates to a system for evaluating the concentration of chlorides in a predetermined area of ​​a porous or composite material, such as a reinforced concrete structure, comprising a sensor (1) embedded in the predetermined area of ​​the material, an analyzer (2) connected to the sensor , and a processing module (4) connected to the analyzer. The sensor (1) comprises two facing or coplanar electrodes (11), called electrodes, between which an intermediate layer (13) is arranged, said intermediate layer being in contact with the material of a predetermined area of ​​the structure and comprising alumina calcium. The analyzer (2) is configured to apply an alternating current between the electrodes and output an impedance value or a capacitance value of the intermediate layer. The processing module (4) is configured to calculate an estimate of chloride concentration in a predetermined region of the material based on the impedance or capacitance value output by the analyzer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of material durability and more specifically to the assessment of chlorine concentrations in porous or composite materials such as reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete or steel-concrete hybrid structures. In particular, the present invention relates to systems and methods for assessing chloride concentrations within a predetermined region of a porous or composite material, and the sensors used by such systems and methods. Background technique [0002] Chloride ion attack is one of the main causes of reinforced concrete (RC) degradation affecting structural usability and safety. Chloride ions are accelerators of the corrosion process on the steel surface, reducing the life of the structure. For other materials, the detection of chloride ions is an indicator of seawater water resistance or the durability of the material. [0003] Chloride-induced corrosion begins when the chloride concentration ...
