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 …

One of the most important durability indices affecting the reinforced CONCRETE structures is
CORROSION of steel reinforcement. Investigations show that the main mechanism of …

The modified natural diffusion test (MT), artificial accelerated simulation test (AT) and field
exposure test (FT) under the coastal chloride corrosion environment are carried out in this …

Initiation of corrosion of steel in reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to chloride
exposures mainly depends on coefficient of chloride diffusion, Dc, of concrete. Therefore, Dc …

In this study, the influence of parametric values on the risk of steel corrosion in concrete was
quantitatively calculated in terms of the sensitivity to service life of concrete structures …

Concrete is the most economical and suitable material for the construction of the vast variety
of marine structures in use nowadays, such as super-span bridges, undersea tunnels, and …

In order to compare the role of chlorides from internal and external sources in corroding, the
steel bar in concrete/mortar, the chloride threshold level (CTL), corrosion resistance …

When subjected to loading or thermal shrinkage, reinforced concrete structures usually
behave in a cracking state, which raises the risk of bar corrosion from the working …

This paper presents the results of analyses carried out to assess the sensitivity of chloride-
induced corrosion rate to change (s) in cover depth, concrete quality and crack width. An …

The premature deterioration of reinforced concrete structures is a serious problem in hot
coastal environments. Most of this deterioration is caused by chloride ingress through the …
