Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems have been developed to evaluate structural
responses to extreme events such as natural and man-made hazards. Additionally, the …

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 …

Atmospheric CO2 is a major cause of reinforcement corrosion in bridges, buildings,
wharves, and other concrete infrastructure in Australia, United States, United Kingdom and …

Early-aged cracks due to hydration heat and drying shrinkage occur unavoidably in
reinforced concrete (RC) structures. These cracks may be the main routes through which …

In most structural systems, it is neither possible nor optimal to inspect all system components
regularly. An optimal inspection-repair strategy controls deterioration in structural systems …

A relation between the radial pressure induced by expansion corrosion products and weight
loss percentage of corroded steel was developed and simplified by investigating the …

A spatial time-dependent reliability model is developed for a RC beam subject to corrosion-
induced pitting corrosion, for shear and flexural limit states. The analysis considers the …

Concrete strength assessment is an important topic in evaluating existing structures.
Formerly, only destructive tests were employed, limiting the number of tests due to their …

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 …

The severity of damage due to corrosion on reinforced concrete (RC) structures primarily
depends on the magnitude and location of the steel corrosion. A finite element (FE) method …
