Concrete is a unique composite material that is porous and highly heterogeneous. The
durability of steel reinforced concrete in chloride environments is of great interest to design …

Chloride induced corrosion as the major cause for degradation of reinforced concrete has
been the subject of great research efforts over the last fifty years. The present literature …

Corrosion is one of the most critical problems that impair the durability of RC structures. Both
carbonation-induced and chloride-induced corrosion widely prevail in civil infrastructure …

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 presents an improved reinforced concrete steel bar deterioration model that
incorporates pitting corrosion and considers the change in after-cracking corrosion rate to …

Threshold chloride level (Cth) and corrosion behavior of reinforced steel bar (rebar) have
been studied in three kinds of simulated concrete pore solutions (SPSs). The rebars with two …

This paper proposes an alternative time-dependent seismic fragility assessment framework
for aging highway bridges considering the non-uniform chloride-induced corrosion and …

This paper proposes an alternative time-dependent seismic fragility assessment framework
considering the variable correlation of structural random parameters for aging highway …

An innovative hydrophobic agent named YREC (Yellow River Engineering Consulting) was
adopted in this study. The substrate is mica powder, which is treated with silane coupling …

Chloride-induced corrosion of steel reinforcement is one of the significant factors for the
durability of the reinforced concrete structures exposed to marine environments. Reinforced …
