This paper provides a comprehensive overview of existing experimental and modelling
approaches to determine effective diffusion coefficients of water saturated ordinary Portland …

Most concrete deterioration mechanisms are driven by the transport properties, in particular
the chloride diffusion coefficient. As such, experimental and analytical tools have been …

In this work, we conducted an experimental and micromechanical investigation on the
mechanical and chloride diffusion properties of recycled aggregates concrete (RAC). Due to …

The N-layered spherical inclusion theory is applied to develop a multi-scale model to predict
the effective diffusion coefficient of chloride ion in concrete. The model treats concrete as …

The determination of the chloride diffusion coefficient of a concrete is needed to help the
prediction of the service life of concrete structure. In this paper, we propose first a critical …

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the performance of self-healing concrete
against chloride ion transport, as well as the mechanism of interaction between the repair …

The particulate composite under consideration consists of arbitrarily shaped micro-
inclusions embedded in a matrix. The interface between the matrix and each inclusion is …

Materials that are either manufactured or occur in nature and used both in industry and in
our daily lives (metals, rocks, wood, soil, suspensions, and biological tissue) are very …

This paper proposes a theoretical model to investigate the influence of low stress on the
chloride penetration in concrete by modeling concrete at the meso-scale. At the meso-scale …

The thermal resistance of an interface between two materials, conceptualized by Kapitza, is
an important physical phenomenon encountered in many situations of practical interest. The …
