Civil infrastructure in the United States is at risk from aging, leading to structural deterioration
of bridges, buildings, and other facilities from aggressive chemical attack, corrosion, and …

Several methods for corrosion monitoring of reinforced concrete structures (RCS) have been
proposed in the last few decades. These systems may be used either in new, existing or …

The development of a generalised framework for assessing bridge life-cycle performance
and cost, with emphasis on analysis, prediction, optimisation and decision-making under …

Our knowledge to model, analyse, design, maintain, monitor, manage, predict and optimise
the life-cycle performance of structures and infrastructures under uncertainty is continually …

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 …

A novel lightweight high-strength engineered cementitious composite (LECC) was
developed, and its mechanical property changes and the resultant durability evolution under …

This paper develops an integrated computational methodology for chloride-induced
degradation assessment of reinforced concrete structures by considering all three phases of …

Corrosion induced by chloride ions has become a critical issue for many reinforced concrete
structures. The chloride ingress into concrete has been usually simplified as a diffusion …

This paper studies the life-cycle performance and cost of reinforced concrete highway
bridges subjected to earthquake ground motions while they are continuously exposed to the …

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 …
