| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is important to estimate the amount of corrosion products in existing RC structures subjected to chloride attack. However, the corrosion process of rebar has not been investigated because of difficulties with observing it. Recently, X-ray technology has been applied to the visualization of concrete cracking to investigate the behavior of fracture process zone in concrete. In this study, digital picture processing method to estimate the amount of corrosion products in RC members is provided for X-ray photography. Then, based on the observation of deteriorated RC member using X-ray photography, corrosion process of rebar is visualized, and the effects of the amount of corrosion products on the corrosion cracking width and flexural strength of RC beam are examined.
