Abstract |
This paper presents a comparison of experimental value by electrolytic tank experimental apparatus and calculated value by CDEGS program for potential rise of structure. When a test current flowed through structure models, potential rise was measured and analyzed for types of structure using the electrolytic tank experimental apparatus in real time, and was computed by means of CDEGS program. The structure models were designed and fabricated with four types on a scale of one-one hundred sixty. When the experimental data were compared with the theoretical values, the similar profile was shown. Therefore, the confidence of measurement was obtained. Potential rise was the lowest value at electric cage type(structure model B). The distributions of potential rise are dependent on the resistivity and absorption percentage in concrete attached to structure. |
