The detrimental effect of chloride-induced corrosion on the service life of reinforced concrete
highway structures highlights the need for the development of mathematical models that …

Concrete is the most common man-made material in today's world. Embedded steel
reinforcement may corrode due to chloride presence from de-icing salts or salt water, having …

The paper presents a model for chloride ingress into concrete. The model accounts for two
mechanisms which control the chloride ingress—diffusion and convection. Using one …

The corrosion of reinforcement is one of the major causes of deterioration of reinforced
concrete (RC) structures, considerably affecting their durability and reliability. The rate of …

One of the major causes of deterioration of reinforced concrete structures is chloride-
induced corrosion of the reinforcing steel. The magnitude of the damage is especially large …

Chloride penetration is among the main causes of corrosion initiation in reinforced concrete
(RC) structures producing premature degradations. Weather and exposure conditions …

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures are subjected to environmental actions affecting their
performance, serviceability and safety. Among these actions, chloride ingress leads to …

Reliable predictions of the time to onset of corrosion in reinforced concrete are essential for
service life modelling, to ensure sufficient durability, and for holistic sustainability …

This paper addresses the analysis of probabilistic corrosion time initiation in reinforced
concrete structures exposed to chloride penetration. Structural durability is an important …

Cracking of concrete cover due to corrosion induced expansion of steel rebar is one of the
major causes of the deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) structures exposed to marine …
