Popis: Reinforced concrete has been a universally dominant construction material for over a century, although structures made of this material are often exposed to many types of damage and deterioration due to different causes and external conditions. The most important problem is corrosion of the reinforcement. Currently, most of the inspection methods of rebar in concrete are of an indirect nature or they are partially destructive. Moreover, none of the well-known systems allow for direct and non-destructive evaluation of the rebar corrosion. The purpose of this paper is to present the new, direct and non-destructive method, which allows detection of cracks and corrosion of the reinforcement bars.
