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

This paper presents a theoretical model, considering the effects of original incomplete crack
on the chloride ion diffusion, to predict the service life of underground concrete pipelines in …

An experimental study using a three-point bending test on RC beams with dimensions of
150× 280× 3000 mm, naturally corroded over many years was conducted to evaluate the …

The long-term corrosion process of reinforced concrete beams is studied in this paper. The
reinforced concrete elements were stored in a chloride environment for 17years under …

This paper presents the chloride penetration and the effect of chloride ingress on the
serviceability of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. A series of experimental studies were …

In order to reach a specific service life of reinforced concrete structures a certain cover
thickness is needed. At present, this is regulated by national standards that also limit the …

Chloride initiated reinforcement corrosion is the main durability problem for concrete
structures in a marine environment. If the chlorides reach the reinforcement steel, it will …

This research studied the initial corrosion of reinforced concrete presented by the chloride
threshold penetration depth of concrete exposed to marine environment. The results of an …

Dry-cast Reinforced concrete pipes (RCP) are frequently used as drainage pipes by several
state departments of transportation (DOTs) across the United States. Corrosion has been …

Previous studies were confined mostly to the deterioration of concrete structures under a
single deteriorating factor, such as chloride ingress only or carbonation only, although the …
