Benefits of technology

[0027]The device according to the invention can be constructed small and for manual use. Its positioning is thus simple and it can be transported to the site of application also without problem. The devices can be miniaturized still further if necessary.
[0028]In addition, it is possible to produce a large number of the same specific design type, which still further and clearly reduces costs with an appropriate serial manufacture.
[0029]Since it is possible to produce the necessary wire sensors in a comparatively inexpensive manner and, in addition, the costs for installing them are also still relatively low, the total costs for the c

Problems solved by technology

The corrosion of steels in concrete is one of the most important causes of damage in steel-reinforced and pre-stressed concrete structures.
They establish only the respective instantaneous state, however, and the reliability of their information is also very limited.
These methods are also very indirect measurement possibilities and the reliability of their information is very limited, but nevertheless conclusions must also be drawn therefrom.
Such sensors are also very complicated in their production and are relatively costly.
In addition, they sometimes possess only a very limited service life and may even represent additional weak spots in the construction part due to the size of the sensors inserted.
Here, the sensors thus simultaneously represent a weakening of the conc

first embodiment

[0053]In FIG. 3, the invention is shown schematically in more detail. Here, an embodiment is involved that is suitable for initial installation. This means that this device for detecting the state of steel-reinforced concrete construction parts 10 will be incorporated from the beginning by sealing it in during the production of the concrete construction part.

[0054]A concrete construction part 10 in turn can be seen schematically. A surface 11 of concrete construction part 10 is shown at the bottom in this case and the concrete construction part 10 can continue toward the top in the drawing to an extent that is selected arbitrarily.

[0055]In concrete construction part 10 there is found a reinforcement bar 13, which in this case—as also in practice—extends frequently inside it, usually parallel to the surface 11 of the concrete construction part 10. The progression of a depassivation front from the surface 11 of the construction part into the concrete construction part 10 will now be moni

second embodiment

[0069]a device according to the invention is shown in FIG. 5. This embodiment is suitable for the case of later installation. That is, it is frequently also of interest to equip an already existing concrete construction part 10 with this device at a later time for such detection of [corrosion] states. In this case, a drilled hole 15 must be introduced into the inside of concrete construction part 10 through the surface 11. Insofar as this is possible, this drilled hole should not destroy or attack the steel reinforcement 13 itself, but should be suitable for introducing the device for detecting the state of the steel-reinforced concrete construction part 10 according to the invention to a sufficient depth.

[0070]Such a device is prefabricated in this case, whereby a serial production is possible without anything further. Here, a mortar pin 25 is used as support 20, and this can be particularly well recognized in FIG. 6. This cement mortar pin 25 is approximately semi-cylindrical and is

Abstract

A device for detecting the state of steel-reinforced concrete construction parts, having one or more sensor wires disposed at different distances from a surface of the concrete construction part. The wires are subjected to the corroding influence of the environment of the concrete construction part. The device also includes a measuring instrument, which measures the volume resistance of the sensor wires and an evaluating device, which can supply the measurement values of the measuring instrument either permanently and/or when called up, and which, evaluating from these values, draws conclusions on the depth-dependent corrosion state of the concrete construction part.
