Abstract
Rebar corrosion rate is an important parameter in studying the concrete structure durability. Rebar corrosion rate is effected by many factors, including temperature and humidity. The changes in the rebar corrosion rate as effected by temperature and humidity are studied by experiment in this paper. The influence mechanism is analyzed, and the quantitative relation between rebar current density and temperature-humidity is obtained, thus foundation is laid for the formulation of a rebar corrosion-rate model. Meanwhile the determination method of rebar corrosion rate (the linear polarization method) is applied.
