Thank you very much for all your comments. There are interesting points made by all.
I would like to ask one follow up question.
if we want to determine if two bars, partly embedded in concrete, are electrically connected for the purpose of ensuring that connected anodes will corrode instead...
Thanks Mike.
I sent off the question to APTUS as it was not directly addressed in the article you sent. My problem is that I can understand how one can determine if two reinforcing steel bars have some degree of continuity by taking resistance measurements but I can't get my head around how it...
Electrical is not my field so I oppologize in advance. I was inspecting the install of some passive cathodic anodes in an old bridge today. I asked how continuity between rebar was checked as they connect anodes to a few bars with a wire but rely on continuity between bars by the bars touching...
Thanks for your answer bridgebuster. I agree with your answer but you are answering a slightly different question then what I asked. In my state (Ontario) tack welding is also not allowed "period". However it has recently (a few weeks ago) been learned that at least one and probably all of the...
Has anyone heard of or are aware of precast subs in the US using tack welds of mild weldable rebar in prestressed girders as part of their ways and means of fabrication?
