The influence of corrosion processes on the degradation of concrete cover

<p>It is a dataset for the paper that analyzes the impact of the accelerated corrosion process of reinforcing steel on the type of destruction of the concrete cover. In this work, two methods were used to accelerate corrosion. In the first method, in order to initiate corrosion processes, chloride ions were injected into the concrete using the migration method. The moment of initiation of the corrosion process was monitored using an electrochemical method of measuring polarization resistance. In the next step, the corrosion process was accelerated in the electrolysis process. Changes on the sample surface were also monitored by using a camera with which photos were taken at certain intervals. In the second method, the corrosion process of the reinforcing bar was accelerated thanks to the use of the electrolysis process but the source of chloride ions was the electrolyte in the form of a 3% NaCl solution.</p>
