Many preceding studies have examined to estimate the deterioration of reinforcing bars based on the temperature of the concrete specimen surfaces. According to those papers, the differences in corrosion degree of reinforcing bars have a certain effect on the temperature of concrete specimen surfaces. In this study, firstly, the quantitative evaluation of the corrosion degree was conducted with 3D scanner which could measure the volume, coverage area and cross-sectional area. Secondly, the surface of the concrete specimen was cooled down with liquid nitrogen, and thirdly, thermographic change was observed up until the air temperature. Finally, the surface of the concrete specimen was detected clearly by the thermal images. As a result, this study shows that the corrosion thickness tends to get bigger, following the uprising temperature of the concrete specimen surfaces. The same kind of tendency can be observed by the thermal images, too. |
