Early-aged cracks due to hydration heat and drying shrinkage occur unavoidably in
reinforced concrete (RC) structures. These cracks may be the main routes through which …

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 …

Carbonation in RC (reinforced concrete) structure is considered as one of the most critical
deteriorations in urban cities. Although RC column has one mix condition, carbonation depth …

Abstract Deterioration of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures is related to the corrosion of
reinforcement since it propagates to structural degradation. In urban or underground …

As a result of extensive research work performed on durability design and long-term
performance of concrete structures in marine environments, new procedures for probability …

In recent yeras, much reserach works has been carried out in order to obtain a more
controlled durability and long-term performance in concrete structures in chloride containing …

This paper presents a sensitivity analysis of the parameters of the model presented in the fib–
Model Code for Service Life Design for corrosion initiation due to chloride penetration. In …

Recently, a variety of researches has been carried out to obtain a more controlled durability
and long-term performance of concrete structures under chloride attack environments. In …

In recent years, much research work has been carried out in order to obtain a more
controlled durability and long-term performance of concrete structures in chloride containing …

Abstract Service life prediction for reinforced concrete (RC) is usually performed through
deterministic or probabilistic methods in regard to anticipating the phenomenon of chloride …
