Evolution in time of the corrosion potential (grey symbols) and corrosion current density (black sym- bols) of carbon steel bars embedded in the five replicate uncracked (a) and cracked (b) concretes and exposed to ponding with a 3.5% NaCl solution; red symbols in (b) corresponding to the interruption of exposure for corroding specimens. �a�� �b� Figure 3.	cache/app01-8039.pdf	txt/app01-8039.txt
