A half-cell potential survey of a reinforced concrete member indicates

  • A.the compressive strength of the surrounding concrete at the level of the bars
  • B.the position and the diameter of every bar within the member being surveyed
  • C.the depth of any internal voids or delamination within the member
  • D.the likelihood that the reinforcement is corroding

Answer: D

Potential readings map the probability of active corrosion across a surface, which tells the engineer where to break out and look. It is a probability rather than a measurement of section loss, so it guides investigation rather than replacing it.
