TY - JOUR AU - Zhou, Jianting AB - Abstract:To accurately assess the structural performance of corroded reinforced concrete structures, obtaining precise information on the corrosion range and corrosion degree of rebar is crucial. In this study, based on a comprehensive analysis of extensive high-precision magnetic field and three-dimensional structural light scanning data of 21 corroded rebars, it was found that the self-magnetic flux leakage can accurately identify the corrosion range, with an error not exceeding 3%. A proposed quantitative index NHx of the self-magnetic flux leakage amplitude exhibits a linear correlation with the cross-sectional corrosion degree of rebar, whose probability density distribution can be accurately described using the Weibull distribution function. Utilizing the Weibull distribution function of NHx and a Bayesian model, automatically rapid quantification of the rebar's cross-sectional corrosion degree based on the non-destructive testing-derived NHx values can be conveniently realized. This self-magnetic flux leakage-based novel method for quantifying rebar's cross-sectional corrosion degree is accurate, efficient, and well-suited for practical engineering applications, providing robust support for a precise assessment of the structural performance of corroded reinforced concrete structures.
