Maintenance and Diagnostics
Periodic monitoring of water moisture on the facade is required to prevent excessive water seepage into the facade.
Diagnostics of Defect
Thermography
Thermography can be used to detect the presence of moisture and its source [7-8].
Moisture meter
Moisture meter can be used to test the amount of moisture present.
Half Cell potential Test or Eddy Current Test
Half Cell Potential has the ability to estimate the probability of corrosion of the steel reinforcement embedded in concrete members. Alternatively, Eddy current can be used.
