In this study, a new Cathodic Protection Method of rebars in RC structures by electromagnetic induction was proposed. The principle of the proposed method is that the eddy current, which is generated on the rebar surface due to electromagnetic induction in a non-contact and non-destructive manner, is used as a protective current to suppress the corrosion current formed between the rebar surface and its surrounding environment. In this paper, it is noted that the feature of the eddy current on the rebar due to the between the experimental and the analytical results was discussed, and then the performance of the corrosion protection proposed by this paper was estimated. Finally, it should be noted that the proposed method is applicable to prevent the occurrence of corrosion on rebars due to the comparison with the experimental estimation.
