  • ANALYSIS OF CONCRETE INCLUDING A REINFORCING BAR
    Publication number: 20180067095
    Abstract: In one general aspect, a computer-readable storage medium can be configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform a process. The instructions comprising instructions to trigger flow of an alternating current having a waveform defining a range of frequencies from a waveform generator to a reinforcing bar embedded within concrete via a probe coupled to a surface of the concrete, and receive an indicator of a time-resolved current magnitude of the alternating current through a portion of the concrete associated with the surface of the concrete.

  • Apparatus for analysis of concrete including a reinforcing bar
    Patent number: 9816978
    Abstract: In one general aspect, a system can include a probe configured to be coupled to a concrete surface of a portion of concrete. The system can include a waveform generator configured to trigger flow of a current to the portion of concrete via the probe and configured to reference a potential of a reinforcing bar embedded within the concrete. The system can also include a current detector configured to detect a magnitude of the current.
    Type: Grant
