## Abstract Mixed‐metal oxide (MMO), graphite and laboratory‐made Ag/AgCl electrodes were electrochemically characterized to be used as reference electrodes embedded in concrete structures. Electrodes were studied in both, aqueous solutions of pH ranging from 7 to 13.5 and embedded into cement mort

Abstract
The annual costs for the maintenance of the Swiss national road networks amount to SFr. 560–640 millions 1. Due to the limited means and the large number of engineering structures at the critical age between 30 and 45 years cost‐effective solutions for the monitoring and the maintenance of these structures have to be found 2. In this paper the life cycle costs of an engineering structure using a sensor network (online‐monitoring system) were investigated. These costs were compared to the costs of classical inspection techniques.

## Abstract Corrosion sensors were devised to develop a system whereby the depth of chloride permeation from concrete surfaces can be monitored non‐destructively on a real‐time basis using such sensors embedded in cover concrete of reinforced concrete structures. The proposed corrosion sensors were
Electrochemical Chloride Extraction (ECE) is becoming a common methodology for repairing reinforced structures. Also the application of corrosion inhibitors on the concrete surface for its penetration its getting more and more interesting as protective method against corrosion of reinforcements. In
