Evaluation of Aging of Reinforced Concrete Structures by Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy of Reinforcement Corrosion Products

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is considered as a method for elemental analysis of concrete in situ. However, the content of chlorine responsible for corrosion of the iron reinforcement may be lower than the LIBS sensitivity needed to detect corrosion in the initial stage. This is especially true for portable LIBS systems without gating and signal amplification. The use of analytical signals of elements in reinforcement corrosion products (Fe, Mn, Cr) when they emerge on the concrete surface is proposed to detect corrosion. It was found that signals of Fe, Mn, and especially Cr could be reliably registered using LIBZ-200 only on surface areas painted with corrosion products.
