Monitoring corrosion of rebar embedded in mortar using high-frequency guided ultrasonic waves / Benjamin L. Ervin in Journal of engineering mechanics, Vol. 135 N°1 (Janvier 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of engineering mechanics > Vol. 135 N°1 (Janvier 2009) . - pp. 9-19 Titre : Monitoring corrosion of rebar embedded in mortar using high-frequency guided ultrasonic waves Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Benjamin L. Ervin, Auteur ; Daniel A. Kuchma, Auteur ; Jennifer T. Bernhard, Auteur Article en page(s) : pp. 9-19 Note générale : Mécanique appliquée Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ultrasonic  methods  Wave  propagation  Reinforced  concrete  Corrosion  Damage  Nondestructive  tests  Durability. Résumé : Corrosion of reinforced concrete structures creates serviceability and safety issues, costing millions of dollars for inspection, repair, and rehabilitation. Recent efforts have focused on monitoring corrosion in situ, providing accurate real-time information for decision-making. The goal of this research is the creation of an embeddable ultrasonic sensing network for assessment of reinforcement deterioration. Toward this effort, guided ultrasonic waves were used to monitor reinforced mortar specimens undergoing accelerated uniform and localized corrosion. Longitudinal waves were invoked at higher frequencies (2–9 MHz), where the attenuation is a local minimum. Using a through-transmission configuration, waveforms were sensitive to both forms of corrosion damage. Scattering, mode conversions, and reflections from irregularities at the bar surface from uniform corrosion and the severely tapered cross section from localized corrosion are thought to cause the increase in attenuation. Because localized corrosion did not yield a discontinuity that was nearly perpendicular to the bar axis, incident waves were severely scattered, mode converted, and rapidly attenuated. As evidence, this was the inability of pulse-echo testing to detect reflected waveforms for localized corrosion.
