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 …

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 …

This paper reports on corrosion of reinforcing steel bars in strain hardening cement-based
composites (SHCC) under chloride attack. As part of a continued research project on …

To investigate the time-varying progress of chloride-induced reinforcement corrosion and
cover cracking, the authors embedded mortar specimens with side-located rebars and …

Chloride-induced corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete is one of the major causes for
deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. RC structures exposed to aggressive …

Reinforcing steel bars in reinforced concrete structures are protected from corrosion by
passive film on the steel surface inside concrete with high alkalinity. However, when the …

Significant factors on steel corrosion in chloride contaminated reinforced concrete and time-
to-corrosion cracking were investigated in this study. Sixty specimens were designed with …

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 …

It is well known that the chloride in concrete can result in rebar corrosion. Due to the
expansive nature of rust, rebar corrosion deteriorates the reinforced concrete structures by …

This paper deals with two corroded reinforcement concrete beams, which have been stored
under sustained load in a chloride environment for 14 and 23years respectively. The …
