Abstract Impressed current cathodic protection and prevention techniques are efficient methods to stop or prevent corrosion in steel reinforced concrete structures. The inevitable side effect of the current exchange is acidification at the anode–concrete interface. Accelerated test methods can be used to investigate the long-term performance of the system. However, a linear relation will not hold between the accelerated and normal conditions because of the influence of the current density. This paper presents results of an accelerated test. A power-relation conversion model is proposed and an acceleration factor is introduced.
