Considering the recent collapses which have affected several existing reinforced concrete
(RC) motorway bridges, the correct maintenance interventions planning of these strategic …

The mine water environment can seriously affect the long-term strength and deformation of
the backfill body, thereby affecting the stability of the goaf. In this study, the gangue …

In coastal regions, the deterioration of structures and bridges due to environmental
conditions and corrosion is a significant concern. To combat these issues, the use of …

On March 2018 a post-tensioned reinforced concrete (RC) truss bridge, built inside a North
American university campus using the Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) method …

This paper is focused on the deterioration of cement-based materials subjected to external
sulfate attack (ESA). For this purpose, a mesoscale chemo-mechanical model was …

External sulfate attack (ESA) is considered to be an important factor in the long-term
performance damage of concrete buildings in coastal areas and salt-lake areas. In this …

The main factors affecting the durability of a reinforced concrete bridge are the fatigue effect
brought on by continuous traffic loads and chloride ion erosion, but studies on how these …

This paper aims at numerical description on the time-varying chemo-mechanical behavior of
concrete served in sulfate-rich environments. For this purpose, a three-dimensionally (3-D) …

Concrete structures in marine environments are prone to deterioration and damage due to
chloride ion penetration, freezing and thawing, and chemical erosion. Ultra-high …

Corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete elements causes minor to major damage in
different aspects. It may lead to spalling of concrete cover, reduction of section's capacity …
