Corrosion of steel bars in concrete is usually a slow electrochemical process which may
need a long time before damage becomes visible in the reinforced concrete (RC). However …

This project focused on examining the composition and distribution of chloride-induced
corrosion products at the rebar–concrete interfaces and on crack surfaces in reinforced …

Parallel corrosion experiments were carried out for 2¼ years by exposing one half of 210
beam specimens (120× 130× 375 mm long) to accelerated laboratory corrosion (cyclic …

Forecasting the life of concrete infrastructures in corrosive environments presents a long-
standing and socially relevant challenge in science and engineering. Chloride-induced …

The chloride concentration in concrete required to compromise reinforcing steel passivity
and initiate active corrosion,[Cl−] th, is an important service life determinant for reinforced …

To evaluate the degree of corrosion, reinforcements of 14-year-old and 17-year-old concrete
members were completely exposed. These 3 m long beams were stored in three-point …

This paper discusses the effect of defects in a steel–concrete interface under horizontal top-
cast steel bars on the development of corrosion in reinforced concrete beams under …

The present study concerns the resistance of silica fume (SF) concrete against chloride-
induced corrosion, when SF concrete is built in a chloride-bearing environment. Chloride …

Corrosion of reinforcement bars due to chloride ingress is a well known problem in
reinforced concrete. Several methods have been adopted to protect reinforced concretc, and …

Durability of reinforced concrete (RC) is influenced by cracks, providing paths for ingress of
corrosion agents and early corrosion initiation. The corrosion propagation stage has in …
