Reinforced concrete structures exposed to marine environments often experience chloride
ingress, reinforcement corrosion, and corrosion‐induced cracking. The electrochemical …

Accumulated construction and demolition waste (CDW) can occupy much land and cause
environmental pollution. To dispose of CDW and slow down the depletion of natural …

Corrosion-induced concrete cover cracking is one of major deterioration mechanisms for
reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Concrete cracking caused by corrosion of multiple …

The random distribution of corrosion pits causes the cross-sectional area of a tendon to vary
along its length, producing a severe stress concentration at the pits. These effects must be …

The effect of granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) addition on the threshold chloride
concentration (TCC) for rebar corrosion was investigated. A modified diffusion model …

This paper presents an experimental and theoretical study on the corrosion cracking
behavior of reinforced concrete under freeze-thaw cycles. Accelerated corrosion tests were …

Predicting the failure of reinforced concrete structures due to rebar corrosion is significant in
maintaining the service life of concrete structures. This paper presents a multi-phase-field …

We present a new mechanistic framework for corrosion-induced cracking in reinforced
concrete that resolves the underlying chemo-mechanical processes. The framework …

In this study, concrete cores extracted from different underground reinforced concrete
pipelines exposed to chloride and carbonation environments were investigated. The age of …

Non-uniform corrosion of rebar leads to the cracking of the concrete cover, which reduces
the reliability of structures and increases maintenance costs. In this paper, we present a …
