Review of Recent Developments of Electrochemical Chloride Extraction on Reinforced Concrete in Civil Engineering

摘要

Reviewing about the progresses of electrochemical chloride extraction (ECE) was carried out to learnmore about the current achievements in ECE in this passage. Principles of ECE were introduced afterthe corrosion of reinforced concrete was descried. And the recent developments of ECE weresummarized including the factors affecting the ECE; the impacts on the concrete microstructure,cohesion between the steel rebar and concrete, and performance of the concrete; and the side effects.Then the field tests and applications were also introduced to make a further research. The study revealsthat current research were not enough to promote the wider application of ECE. And finallyorientations for further research were also put forward explicitly based on this research, which wouldguide and facilitate the future study of ECE and enlarge its application.
