This paper provides a comprehensive overview of existing experimental and modelling
approaches to determine effective diffusion coefficients of water saturated ordinary Portland …

Most concrete deterioration mechanisms are driven by the transport properties, in particular
the chloride diffusion coefficient. As such, experimental and analytical tools have been …

Aggregates with realistic non-convex morphologies and their surrounding interfacial
transition zones (ITZs) significantly affect the diffusivity of concrete. Herein, we initially …

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures may suffer from serious durability problems during long-
term service. To investigate the deterioration of RC structures subjected to the dual attacks of …

In this work, we conducted an experimental and micromechanical investigation on the
mechanical and chloride diffusion properties of recycled aggregates concrete (RAC). Due to …

The service life of concrete-based infrastructure and buildings is seriously shortened due to
the chloride-induced durability problems. In order to clarify the transport mechanism …

Reinforced concrete structures are frequently exposed to aggressive environmental
conditions. Most notably, chloride ions from sea water or de-icing salts are potentially …

Chloride-induced corrosion poses a significant challenge to the long-term sustainability of
concrete structures exposed to seawater. This study proposed a multi-species reactive …

Chloride-induced rebar corrosion is a common degradation process for concrete
infrastructures, which is a practical concern in coastal areas. It is essential to study the …

Corrosion is one of the main reasons for the degradation of reinforced concrete structures,
especially of those exposed to a chloride-contaminated environment. To study the effect of …
