Abstract
The results of this study showed the beneficial effect of chloride ion to enhance the corrosion inhibition and prevent direct oxidation of carbon fibres under anodic polarization. The corrosion rate of carbon fibre sharply decreased after introducing chloride ions. Uniaxial tensile test performed after the simulated ICCP tests showed that the tensile strength of the carbon fibre bundles was higher when the electrolyte contained chloride ions. The application of carbon fibre as the anode material is found to be particularly well suited for coastal reinforced concrete structures.
