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 …

For reinforced concrete (RC) structures, the corrosion of the reinforced steel bars from
chloride ions is a periodic risk. The chloride ions diffusion is governed by Fick'laws …

Chloride-induced corrosion is one of the main reasons for degrading the serviceability and
reliability of concrete bridge structures in severe environments. Consequently, a more …

This paper presents an experimental and numerical simulation study on the corrosion of
chloride ions in concrete components, using a single pre-applied bending load to represent …

This work investigates enhanced passivation and corrosion resistance of various Cr-
modified rebars compared to carbon rebar. It also evaluates their service life through time …

Reinforced concrete (RC) beams are basic elements used in the construction of various
structures and infrastructural systems. When exposed to harsh environmental conditions, the …

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 …

Quantitative analyses of structural resistance are useful during the design process to prevent
the occurrence of progressive collapse. Buildings subjected to continuous instances of …

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 …
