Popis: Testing the critical chloride content (Ccrit) in laboratory samples or in samples retrieved from structures enhances the understanding of rebar corrosion initiation in concrete and can result in a significant improvement of predicting the residual service life of ageing structures. A possible drawback of test methods for Ccrit is that they can be time-consuming. In this work, different accelerated methods for Ccrit testing are studied and compared. It is found that the acceleration method influences the test results. The results are discussed with respect to evaluation of existing structures and service life modelling.
