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 …

Reinforced concretes were corroded to varying degrees by exposing to cyclic NaCl spray
and 40° C drying. The amount of corrosion products and induced damage were measured …

Cracking of reinforced concrete can result in substantial reduction in service life owing to
rapid initiation of steel corrosion. Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) can alter …

Cracks influence the durability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in aggressive
environments by accelerating the ingress of corrosive agents to the embedded steel. This …

In this study, the effect of both artificial crack and defects of the steel-concrete interface on
the initiation and propagation of steel reinforcement corrosion in concrete under a chloride …

The corrosion behavior of steel in cracked ordinary portland cement (OPC) and portland
pozzolana cement (PPC) concretes when exposed to a chloride-rich environment is …

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 …

Chloride binding and its influence on the rate of reinforcement corrosion has been
investigated in a range of mixes by, respectively, pore solution analysis and measuring the …

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 …

Most research on chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcing steel is conducted either in
simulated pore solution or concrete. The former has the disadvantage that the experiments …
