Proceedings pro018 : International Workshop MESINA on Measurement and Interpretation of the On-Site Corrosion Rate

Title: International Workshop MESINA on Measurement and Interpretation of the On-Site Corrosion Rate Edited by C. Andrade, C. Alonso, J. Fullea, J. Polimon and J. Rodriguez ISBN: 2-912143-21-7 e-ISBN: 235158032X Pages: 238 Publication date: 1999

The main objective of the workshop was to analyse and discuss the present understanding of the results of corrosion rate values obtained in real size structures. The available data of on-site results is still very scarce in spite of the recognition, everywhere, of the importance of accounting the corrosion process. Much more exchange of experiences is needed to reach such a level of knowledge, which could aim at the establishment of precise rules for measuring and interpreting the results of on-site surveys.
The workshop was divided into two general topics: operational aspects of the corrosion rate measurements and the application of the corrosion values for studying the structural performance and evaluating the efficiency of repair methods.
A final practical session was organised, its participants being distributed in three rotating groups for a better efficiency in the discussions. At this practical session were also invited members of the Monitoring Group WG-B of the European COST 521 Action.
The papers were distributed among the participants at the beginning of the workshop. Later on, they were reviewed and improved in order to be collected in the present volume.
The Workshop was jointly organised by the Institute of Construction Sciences "Eduardo Torroja" (IETcc) of the CSIC of Spain and Geotecnia y Cimientos, S.A. (GEOCISA).
