Sensor for determining corrosion in reinforced concrete structure of intelligent building, has outer connector attached to sensorial element and armor, and connector arranged within box that is connected in surface of structure

Abstract

The sensor has a support (10) for connecting a sensor body that is attached to a bar of an armor (12) of a concrete structure. Conduction and connection elements (18) are electrically connected to the armor, a sensorial element (14) and a temperature sensor (16). A metallic connection clip (24) is utilized for connecting the armor with the conduction and connection elements. An outer connector is attached to the sensorial element and the armor by the conduction and connection elements. A connector (20) is arranged within a box (22) that is connected in a surface of the concrete structure. USE - Sensor for determining corrosion state of a reinforced concrete structure of an intelligent building. ADVANTAGE - The sensor determines the corrosion state of a reinforced concrete structure in an effective manner. The sensor is simple in structure and monitors the corrosion state in the reinforced concrete structure in an effective manner. The sensor can be designed and constructed in a simple manner, and can be manufactured at reduced costs. The sensor has prolonged service life. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the following:(1) a method for determining corrosion in a reinforced concrete structure(2) a software comprising a set of instructions to execute a method for determining corrosion in a reinforced concrete structure. DESCRIPTION Of DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a sectional view of a reinforced concrete structure.Support (10)Armor (12)Sensorial element (14)Temperature sensor (16)Conduction and connection elements (18)Connector (20)Box (22)Metallic connection clip (24)
