The most common method used for monitoring underground structures is measuring the structure to soil ______ using dedicated reference electrodes near the structure.
A) Resistivity
B) Corrosiveness
C) Potential
D) Electrolyte

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Monitoring underground structures requires measurement of the potential between the structure and soil. This can be done using dedicated reference electrodes placed near the structure. The potential measurement can provide valuable information on the corrosion of the structure and the effectiveness of any corrosion protection systems in place. Resistivity and electrolyte measurements are used in other applications, but not for monitoring underground structures. Corrosiveness is not a measurable property, but rather a description of the environment in which the structure is placed.
