This chapter reviews different techniques for evaluating and measuring the corrosion of steel
in concrete. Since corrosion consists of electrochemical reactions at the interface between …

The corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete structures induced by chloride ion
contamination is a major problem. Deterioration starts with the loss of protection provided by …

The paper proposes a combined application of composite theory and Powers' model for
microstructural development for the estimation of the diffusion coefficient as a function of the …

Accurate prediction of chloride diffusivity in non-saturated cement paste is crucial for
durability design of concrete. This paper presents an integrated framework for modelling …

A test method is proposed for measuring chloride diffusion coefficients through nonsaturated
concrete specimens with controlled water contents. The experimental setup used allows one …

After ten years of marine exposure, chloride and calcium profiles and petrographic data
were obtained from the tidal and submerged zones of six concrete panels differing in binder …

A test method is proposed for measuring chloride diffusion coefficients through partially
saturated concrete specimens with well characterized water contents. It includes an …

A recently proposed methodology for measuring the diffusion coefficient of chloride ions
through concrete partially saturated with water, has been applied to five high-early-strength …

A conditioning procedure is proposed allowing to install into the concrete specimens any
selected value of water saturation degree with homogeneous moisture distribution. This is …

Predictive and Optimised Life-Cycle Management sets out methodologies to meet the
demands of the current trend towards sustainable civil engineering and building …
