Abstract: Marine structures adversely affected by corrosion of rebars. In order to assess the structural health, prediction of the amount of mass loss of rebars is important. In this context, an experimental investigation was done to find a relationship between crack width and level of corrosion. An impressed current technique was employed to accelerate the corrosion process. The crack width was measured by image analysis. In this research, a linear relationship was found between the crack width and mass loss. There was a level of corrosion about 32 mg/cm2 was needed to an appearance of surface cracking.
