The Application of Impressed Current System for the Corrosion Control of Reinforcing Steel in Concrete

콘크리트 중의 철근부식 방지를 위한 외부전원법의 적용

Recently the interest in the reinforcing steel corrosion due to the use of sea-sand and deicing salt, marine environment, and carbonation in RC structures is increasing, therefore the studies on the corrosion control of reinforcing steel in concrete are vigorously proceeding. In this study, from the viewpoint of electrochemical process of steel corrosion in concrete we applied the impressed current system among the cathodic protections to reinforcing steel in concrete and ascertained the protection effect by half-cell potential, corrosion rate, and depolarization.
