Embeddable reference sensors for corrosion monitoring in concrete structures

콘크리트 구조물의 부식감시용 매설형 기준전극의 전기화학적 안정성에 관한 연구

Several sensors are involved in the cor개sion monitoring of concrete structures. This paper deals with the monitoring of concrete structures by embeddable reference sensors. $MnO_2$, MMO and graphite reference sensors are fabricated in the laboratory as suitable as embeddable type into the concrete structures. Sensors are embedded into the mortars and the performance was studied in the absence and presence of chloride ions. The electrochemical stability of the sensors was carried out for the exposure period of one year. Polarisation behaviour and impedance of the sensors in mortar was carried out in three aqueous solutions namely distilled water, 3% NaCl and natural sea water.
