Corrosion of reinforcement caused by chloride penetration has become the primary factor of
concrete durability in the saline soil environment. A chemo-damage-transport model for …

Durability and service life design of concrete constructions have considerable socio-
economic and environmental consequences, in which the permeability of concrete to …

The transport of chloride ions in concrete structures is not only due to diffusion but also to the
advective effects of water movements and capillarity, mostly present with wet-dry cycles …

The adsorption of water molecules and ions on the surface of hydrated calcium silicate
(CSH) in Ca (OH) 2 and CaSO 4 solutions at different temperatures was simulated. The …

In this study, the importance of capillary suction was emphasized through its implementation
in a hygrothermal transport model used to predict water transport in ordinary concrete. In the …

Chloride-induced corrosion is commonly recognized to be a major cause of deterioration of
coastal reinforced concrete structures (CRCS). Therefore, prediction of chloride penetration …

The degradation of a concrete structure in northern climate is mainly due to the corrosion of
steel reinforcements and cumulative damages from mechanical loading. Infrastructure …

Northern countries are submitted to extremely cold temperatures in winter. A huge amount of
de-icing salt is used during that time to improve user safety on roadways. Consequently …

The moisture transfer coefficient (MTC) is an essential parameter utilized in diffusion–
convection modeling of ion ingress into cement-based systems, especially in marine …

Steel reinforcing bars in concrete are protected from corrosion by a thin oxide film that is
created on the steel surface in the highly alkaline environment of the concrete. Corrosion …
