The majority of works in the field of chloride-indued corrosion of steel in concrete are
focused on the cracks formed by the corrosion products. However, the number of studies on …

This report reviews studies about the effect of concrete cracks on chloride-induced corrosion
of reinforcement steel. Cracks can lead to earlier corrosion initiation, but the current state-of …

The chloride-induced corrosion of steel is a serious problem affecting the durability of
reinforced concrete structures. Cracks may facilitate the ingress of chlorides into concrete …

When subjected to loading or thermal shrinkage, reinforced concrete structures usually
behave in a cracking state, which raises the risk of bar corrosion from the working …

The durability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in chloride-rich environments depends
mainly on the risk of the steel rebar being corroded due to chloride attack. For durability to …

This paper presents the results of analyses carried out to assess the sensitivity of chloride-
induced corrosion rate to change (s) in cover depth, concrete quality and crack width. An …

It is generally recognized that cracks provide easy access to ingress of chlorides in concrete
and hence, the initiation of corrosion of steel in cracked concrete occurs at early stage …

Many reinforced concrete structures are subjected to variable loads, but little information is
available on the effect of such loading, and the accompanying opening and closing of …

The presence of cracks is unavoidable in reinforced concrete structures and also a gateway
for chloride into concrete, leading to corrosion of steel reinforcing bars. So, crack control …

Concrete is the most economical and suitable material for the construction of the vast variety
of marine structures in use nowadays, such as super-span bridges, undersea tunnels, and …
