Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper addresses the theory for a statistical analysis of the results of potential mapping performed on reinforced concrete structures. The basic assumption for this analysis is that the distribution of potentials for both corroding and passive steel can be adequately described by a normal density distribution. This treatment is applied to a number of situations as to exemplify the calculation procedure. Eventually, this statistical analysis will result in improved potential criteria to distinguish corroding from passive steel reinforcement. Moreover, this procedure allows to assign to any value of the measured potential the corresponding probability to deal with an active corrosion process and provides a better estimate of the amount of corroding steel present in the structure.
