Abstract
The possibility of using Ag/AgCl wire electrodes as in-situ sensors of chloride concentration in concrete was studied by embedding them in a series of mortar specimens with different admired NaCl contents. They show a sensitive potentiometric response to overall Cl- concentration s. The stability of the potential readings depends on the Cl- concentr ation and allows these electrodes to be used as Cl- content sensors in short-term tests.
