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

Chloride-induced corrosion of steel bars can shorten the service life of concrete structures in
marine environment. Therefore, a numerical model that can accurately characterize the …

The chloride content at which reinforcement corrosion occurs (Ccrit) is an important
parameter for the determination of the service life of a concrete structure. Many studies have …

Resistance to chloride penetration plays a crucial role in preventing premature corrosion of
reinforced concrete in marine environments or when using de-icing salts. For reinforced …

Steel corrosion caused by chloride penetration is an important problem in construction
practices threatening the long-term durability of reinforced concrete structures. In this study …

This paper presents the results of a sensitivity analysis of the diffusion-based corrosion
initiation model for reinforced concrete structures built in chloride-laden environments …

Saline soil is widely distributed in Western China. Its main components have the
characteristics of high concentration and many kinds of ions, which pose a serious threat to …

This paper presents experimental test results on corrosion resistance of concrete containing
ground granulate blast-furnace slag (GGBS) and ASTM Type I or ASTM Type V cement. To …

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 …

The ingress of chlorides in cylindrical reinforced concretes based on ordinary Portland
cement (OPC) or ground granulated blast furnace slag cement (GGBS) has been …
