Reinforced concrete (RC) has been commonly used as a construction material for decades
due to its high compressive strength and moderate tensile strength. However, these two …

By designing in corrosion prevention and through preventive maintenance, the overall
service cost of a concrete structure can be substantially reduced. This book takes a …

This book provides an up-to-date survey of durability issues, with a particular focus on
specification and design, and how to achieve durability in actual concrete construction. It is …

Extensive experience demonstrates that the durability of concrete structures is related not
only to design and material but also to construction issues. Upon completion of new …

Este trabalho propõe um modelo matemático destinado à estimativa da profundidade de
carbonatação e à previsão de vida útil de projeto de estruturas de concreto, envolvendo …

In this study, through experimental research and an investigation on large datasets of the
durability parameters in ocean engineering, the values, ranges, and types of distribution of …

Upon completion of new concrete structures, the achieved construction quality always
shows a high scatter and variability, and in severe environments, any weaknesses and …

This paper describes the use of an artificial neural network (ANN) method for the analysis of
relationships between a number of input parameters and observed damage owing to …

This paper presents a conceptual framework methodology concerning service life prediction
of concrete structures by using deterministic or probabilistic processes, which are included …

The objective of this study is to detect reliably the onset of corrosion in fly ash concrete using
an embedded reference electrode. The half-cell potential of rebars in fly ash concrete …
