Modern digital technologies as support for classic measurement methods in corrosion diagnosis of reinforced concrete

This article presents contemporary methods for diagnosing corrosion damage in reinforced concrete structures. The first section provides a brief overview of traditional measurement methods used to assess the corrosion risk of reinforced concrete, including tests of concrete’s protective properties against reinforcement, corrosion probability tests, and polarisation tests of the corrosion rate of reinforcement in concrete. The second part of the article describes modern digital technologies that support the diagnosis of corrosion damage, including visual inspection using mixed reality and artificial intelligence, and remote inspection using drones. Additionally, the article describes a BIM model of the diagnosed structure allowing for the creation of a digital twin. This model integrates all classical and digital diagnostic tools.
