Description

Technical Field

[0002] Rebar corrosion detection is crucial for the safe maintenance of existing buildings and bridges, playing a vital role in ensuring structural safety, extending structural lifespan, and reducing maintenance costs. Existing rebar corrosion detection methods include destructive testing methods such as chloride ion detection, chipping, and sampling, as well as non-destructive testing methods such as half-cell potential method, resistivity method, and gradient method. When there is no obvious damage to the appearance of the inspection location, non-destructive testing methods generally require the location of the rebar to be inspected and marked. The condition of the rebar is then manually inspected by hand at the marked location. However, when inspecting hard-to-reach areas such as high piers and the bottom of beams, it is inconvenient to manually inspect the rebar. Utility Model Content
