Passive Sensors to Detect the Onset of Corrosion in Reinforced Concrete Bridges

ABSTRACT: Wood describes the new class of corrosion sensor that she and her research team developed. The sensor provides an econmical and nondestructive means of detecting the initiation of corrosion within concrete. Woodd envisions that this new, low-cost sensor will be embedded in concrete during construction and interrogated intermittently over the service life of the bridge.
