Steel corrosion is the main cause of deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. We
provide an up-to-date review on corrosion mechanisms and recent advances in electrical …

In-lab accelerated steel rebar corrosion tests have greatly deepened the understandings in
corrosion behaviors, but remain still far from being filling the gaps between the corrosion …

Cement paste is known to react with atmospheric carbon dioxide. Carbonation of cement
paste has long been recognized as one of the causes of reinforcement corrosion. On the …

This paper summarizes the grand societal, economic, technological, and educational
challenges related to corrosion of steel in concrete, and presents the state-of-the-art of the …

Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) has been widely used in construction and
transportation due to its superior mechanical properties. From the perspective of structure …

Chloride-induced corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete may cause severe damage to
RC structures. This paper examines the interaction between corrosion-induced cover crack …

All existing models to forecast the corrosion performance of reinforced concrete structures
exposed to chloride environments are based on one common theoretical concept, namely, a …

Corrosion of steel reinforcement is a serious problem for durability and serviceability of
reinforced concrete. As the reinforcing steel corrodes, it expands and exerts pressure on the …

After a century of history of cathodic protection (CP) of iron and steel, this paper critically
reviews the state of the art in the science and engineering and assesses the fitness of CP as …

Aqueous iron hydrolysis products and chloride complexes influence steel corrosion kinetics
and dictate the amount and type of corrosion products formed. Here, we compile a …
