The feasibility and sensitivity of electrochemical noise (EN), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
(EIS), and linear polarization resistance (LPR) for detection of corrosion in post-tensioning (PT)
components was investigated. The use of the electrical resistance (ER) technique, as well EIS and LPR,
to detect air space corrosion at the grout voids was also explored. The results showed that high
sensitivity noise measurements (in the µV range) are feasible for the strand-anchorage systems. The
potential and galvanic current trends for the assemblies suggest the presence of activation-passivation
cycles linked to each water ingress event. The EN method was adequate to identify only one modality
of corrosion, and failed to detect other potentially important forms of corrosion despite the presence of
significant macrocell current.
