In the marine environment, the service life of coastal structures can be significantly reduced
on account of chloride corrosion. This study employed nano-silica (NS) to improve the …

The attack of chloride ions is one of the most important factors affecting reinforced concrete
(RC) durability. Chloride ingress into concrete is usually studied by assuming constant …

In this paper the negative effects of the chloride ions attack in reinforced concrete (RC)
elements have been studied. For this the vertical and horizontal chloride diffusivity has been …

With the growing world population and industrial production, the demand for water has been
continuously increasing. By 2030, it was estimated that 60.0% of the world population will …

Mechanical diffusion of chloride ions in reinforced concrete (RC) structures varies in time
and space, and depends on uncertain factors such as material properties, temperature …

With the growing world population and industrial production, the demand for water has been
continuously increasing. By 2030, 60.0% of the world population will not have access to …

One of the most relevant deterioration mechanisms of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is
the corrosion of steel bars by chloride ions. The service life of structures could be extended …

The chloride penetration is usually modelled through the application of a solution of Fick's
second law of diffusion, based on the assumption of semi-infinite boundary conditions …

In this paper, the parameters involved in the chloride ions diffusion for concrete structures
have been analysed. Usually, several factors for diffusivity and surface chloride …

In this paper the pushover analysis for pile-supported wharf structures (PSWSs) is carried
out. This nonlinear static analysis is a common method to estimate the optimum …
