Original Abstract

The corrosion of steel elements in reinforced concrete structures has an influence on lifetime of structures and adversely affects their properties. The steel in concrete structures is protected against corrosion by properties of concrete such as high pH or impermeability, but if the concrete is of poor quality and his protective properties are insufficient, then the corrosion may occur. This article reports the use of Impact-echo method as a tool for monitoring of influence carbonation concrete and corrosion of steel reinforcement.

Keywords

Impact-echo method, non destructive acoustic method, carbonation concrete, corrosion, steel reinforcement.
