Chloride ingress is one of the major causes of reinforced concrete (RC) deterioration. Free
chloride induces the corrosion of rebars, reducing the material strength, and therefore, the …

Modern engineering faces challenges in ensuring technical standards for service, durability,
and sustainability. Political, administrative, and budgetary factors, coupled with climate …

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures are subject to environmental actions affecting their
performance, serviceability and safety. Among these actions, chloride ingress leads to …

In this study, a methodology for the service life prediction of architectural concrete facades is
proposed, following a research line previously developed for other types of claddings, to …

Corrosion is a major problem for durability of reinforced concrete structures in a marine
environment. To establish the best accurate planning for maintenance operations, assessing …

The free Cl− diffusion law, binding Cl− capacity and long-term reliability of electrodes in
concrete were investigated under the effects of carbonation. Results reveal that the diffusion …

The accurate measurement of chloride content in concrete is of great importance, because
chloride-initiated corrosion of the reinforcement significantly influences the durability of …

Corrosion-induced damage is a major source of deterioration in infrastructure and industrial
systems such as bridges, offshore and onshore structures, and underground oil and gas …

Chloride penetration is among the main causes of corrosion initiation in reinforced concrete
(RC) structures producing premature degradations. Weather and exposure conditions …

Chloride ingress into concrete is the primary cause of steel corrosion that leads to the
deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) assets and eventual reduction of its service life …
