Abstract

Chlorides have been implicated as a principal cause of concrete bridge deck rebar corrosion and subsequent spalling. The intent of this research is to develop a chloride sensor that is embeddable and can be interrogated remotely. Due to the remoteness of the site and the specificity of the chemistry, it was decided to attempt to perform this job with fiber optic sensors. Four different schemes are described. Some test results are presented.
