Embeddable sensors for in-situ monitoring of chloride and pH in concrete

Abstract

This report summarises the development of embeddable sensors for monitoring the chloride content and the pH in concrete. First, a basic introduction to sensor technology (electrochemistry and design) is given. Then a summary of publications dealing with this topic is presented. The report also offers a principal guideline on how to manufacture such embeddable sensors (Appendix 1 and 2). Appendix 3 gives a comprehensive and chronological overview of open literature (published 2024→1996) covering embeddable sensors for monitoring chloride and pH in concrete.
