Effective length of steel element for time-dependent macro-cell corrosion

Abstract

       Segmented steel bar was used to study the behavior of macro-cell corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete. In this research, embedded steel bars were made with different lengths of steel element such as 15 and 60mm. The aim of this paper is to identify the effective length of steel element for macro-cell corrosion by comparing the macro-cell corrosion current densities obtained from these above specimens. According to the result, 15mm- element steel bar is recommended for effective length of steel to study on macro-cell corrosion. [This abstract is not included in the PDF)
