All existing models to forecast the corrosion performance of reinforced concrete structures
exposed to chloride environments are based on one common theoretical concept, namely, a …

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 …

The aging of reinforced concrete infrastructure in developed countries imposes an urgent
need for methods to reliably assess the condition of these structures. Corrosion of the …

The chloride-induced steel corrosion is one of the main causes of deterioration for reinforced
concrete structures exposed to marine environments. The chloride ingress into reinforced …

The conventional steel grades commonly used as reinforcing steel in concrete are known to
be susceptible to corrosion when directly exposed to the atmosphere. However, when …

Chloride induced reinforcement corrosion is widely accepted to be the most frequent
mechanism causing premature degradation of reinforced concrete structures. Condition …
