Durability and service life design of concrete constructions have considerable socio-
economic and environmental consequences, in which the permeability of concrete to …

Increasing costs due to failure and reconstruction highlight the importance of concrete
durability research. Carbonation of concrete, which can accelerate corrosion, is one of the …

Reinforced concrete and steel are the most commonly used materials in bridge applications
in Quebec (Canada). The production of these materials has a significant environmental …

The degradation of a concrete structure in northern climate is mainly due to the corrosion of
steel reinforcements and cumulative damages from mechanical loading. Infrastructure …

Infrastructure asset management is concerned with the efficient and sustainable utilization of
resources. There are numerous sources of uncertainties associated with the physical state of …

Reinforced concrete (RC) bridges located in cold climates are typically exposed to large
amounts of deicing salts during winter, which causes corrosion-related deterioration of RC …

The exposure of concrete structures to environmental and climatic conditions is detrimental
to their durability. In northern climates, the key contributor to their degradation is corrosion of …

This paper investigates the assessment of corrosion effects on the performance of the
composite bridge caused by chloride ions during the service life depending on Cellular …

Currently, there is significant interest in ensuring the sustainability and serviceability of
infrastructure systems in the context of climate change. Indeed, a large proportion of existing …

The dominant mode of deterioration of concrete bridge structures in North America is
corrosion associated with the ingress of chloride ions from salt spreading. Finite element …
