During a Brite/Euram Project several European partners developed and produced an integrated monitoring system. So the inspection and maintenance costs and the traffic impairments can be reduced.
One part of this project was related to portable techniques for evaluation of reinforcement corrosion. During this work a newly developed, hand held, easily to handle, portable equipment based on the galvanostatic pulse method (GPM) was tested.
This paper deals with the results and analysis of the GPM measurements performed on a highway-bridge exposed to de-icing salts as well as the results of laboratory tests. Results of average corrosion rates determined by weight loss and galvanostatic pulse technique were compared. Special attention was paid to the comparability of instrument readings to real behavior. Finally the necessary precautions which need to be taken when the on site data are used for life prediction of structures are discussed.
Für den sicheren und zuverlässigen Betrieb von Geothermieanlagen ist, aufgrund der extremen Betriebsbedingungen, die Werkstoffauswahl für bohr- und verfahrenstechnische Einrichtungen entscheidend. Es werden die im Rahmen der Werkstoffqualifizierung für zwei hochlegierte Stähle durch elektrochemische Untersuchungen und klassische Auslagerungsversuche ermittelten Einsatzgrenzen im Bereich geothermischer Tiefenbohrungen für die Förderung des hochsalinen Aquiferfluids von Groß Schönbeck dargestellt.
Corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete exposed to chloride containing
environments is a serious problem in civil engineering practice. Electrochemical
methods, e.g. potential mapping, provide information whether the steel reinforcement
is still passive or depassivation has been initiated. By applying such techniques no
information on the type of corrosion, its extent and distribution of corrosion products
is available. Particular the corrosion progress is a significant problem. Especially in
the case of element corrosion in reinforced concrete structures, the development at
the anode can not be separated into corrosion damage causing by element corrosion
or self-corrosion. Until now also in laboratory tests it is impossible to collect such
information without destroying specimens after electrochemical testing was
performed place. To overcome this problem it was tried to study the steel surface
within the mortar specimens by X-ray tomography (CT). Within the scope of these
investigations it could be shown, that X-ray tomography is suitable to make corrosion
pits visible which are embedded in a mortar with a cover thickness of about 35 mm.
In this publication the corrosion damage of reinforced steel is documented timedependent
by X-ray tomography.
Corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete exposed to chloride containing environments is a serious problem in civil engineering practice.

By applying such techniques no information on the type of corrosion, its extent and distribution of corrosion products is available. Particular the corrosion progress is a significant problem. Especially in the case of macrocell corrosion in reinforced concrete structures, the development at the anode cannot be separated into corrosion damage resulting from macrocell corrosion or self-corrosion. Until now also in laboratory tests it is impossible to collect such information without destroying specimens after electrochemical testing was performed. To overcome this problem it was tried to study the steel surface within the mortar specimens by X-ray tomography (CT). Within the scope of these investigations it could be shown, that X-ray tomography is suitable to make corrosion pits and their development visible which are embedded in a mortar with a cover thickness of about 35 mm.
