Overview
This dataset provides comprehensive corrosion parameter data for reinforcing steel (rebar) in simulated pore solutions and mortar. It includes detailed measurements of corrosion potential, corrosion current density, and Tafel slopes under various chloride levels and carbonation treatments. The data aims to shed light on the corrosion behavior of rebar in environments that closely mimic real-world conditions.
Data Description
The dataset encompasses a range of conditions to simulate different environmental impacts on rebar corrosion:
Chloride Levels: Includes multiple levels of chloride contamination to assess its effect on rebar corrosion. Carbonation States: Considers different carbonation states to understand their influence on the corrosion process. Corrosion Parameters: Focuses on key parameters like corrosion potential (E_corr), corrosion current density (i_corr), anodic Tafel slope (β_a), and cathodic Tafel slope (β_c).
