Abstract In this study, when concrete properties are changed by concrete mix proportions or blending of admixtures, the characteristics of electro-chemical method for corrosion assessment of the embedded steel are compared and its causes are analyzed. According to the results, when the ratio of corroding area was less than 10%, the half-cell method was affected by concrete properties. In the case of specimen blended admixtures, it is possible to assess the high-corroded steel qualitatively using the half-cell method. For the polarization resistance method, though the corroding area was less than 10%, it has not affected by concrete properties. However, in case of specimen blended admixtures, the corrosion level of steel was underestimated than OPC specimens having a similar corroding area.
