The dielectric behavior of unpoled cured cement-based materials enables these materials to
serve as electroceramics. The behavior entails the DC polarization (apparent DC electrical …

While interacting with its service environment, concrete often undergoes significant
alterations that often have significant adverse consequences on its engineering properties …

The paper presents a model for chloride ingress into concrete. The model accounts for two
mechanisms which control the chloride ingress—diffusion and convection. Using one …

Results of indoor and outdoor atmospheric corrosion tests conducted during a long period of
time at Cuba and Campeche (Mexico) indicated very high corrosion rates at both sites which …

Understanding the transport mechanisms within unsaturated porous media is essential to
the durability problems associated with cement-based materials. However, the involvement …

A numerical model has been developed to predict isothermal coupled moisture–ion
transport in cementitious materials. Ionic transport is described by the extended Nernst …

This paper presents a model that can calculate the uptake of CO2 in all existing concrete
structures, including its uptake after service life. This is important for the calculation of the …

An assessment of the reliability of reinforced concrete beams with corroded reinforcement
was proposed based on the computation of the reliability index. The corrosion was induced …

North American civil infrastructure systems are deteriorating. Roads, bridges, overpasses,
marine and airport facilities are all impacted. The primary causes of premature concrete …

This work presents machine learning-inspired data fusion approaches to improve the
nondestructive testing of reinforced concrete. The principal effects that are used for data …
