Magnetic memory detection of corroded reinforced concrete considering the influence of tensile load

Abstract

Both corrosion defects and stress can cause magnetic field mutations, so the effect of stress must be considered in the magnetic detection of steel corrosion. This paper focuses on exploring the influence law of tension on magnetic signals of the corroded specimens. Based on the spontaneous magnetic leakage mechanism of steel bar corrosion and the stress magnetization model, the magnetic memory detection of corroded reinforced concrete under tension was carried out. The magnetic characteristics of corroded specimens before and after loading were analyzed. The corrosion positions of the specimens can be determined according to the representative mutation points (RMP) of the B _yc(0) curves, and the magnetic index I ₂ was proposed to roughly determine the corrosion degree of the specimens when the specimens were not subjected to tensions. The experimental results showed that the RMP of B _yc(F) curves can still represent corrosion positions when the specimens were under tension. The theoretical derivation showed that the magnetic field change caused by tensile force is limited, and the maximum value of the magnetic field change caused by tensile force can be obtained. Based on this, the corresponding I ₃-F curves were obtained through the test. The magnetic field change caused by the most unfavorable tensions was calculated to analyze its influence on corrosion magnetic detection. Compared with I ₂, the relationship between I ₃ and the corrosion degree was more discrete, indicating that tensile forces affected the quantitative detection of corrosion. Still, the magnetic field caused by corrosion played a leading role. The verification showed that the measured corrosion positions of reinforced concrete specimens were in good agreement with those detected by the magnetic memory method.
