The alkali-silica reaction in cementitious composites occurs through the chemical
association of the solution contained in the matrix pores, which is strongly basic and rich in …

This work investigated the mechanisms involved in the chloride attack of concretes
produced with steel slag aggregates and steel slag mineral admixture (steel slag powder) …

Carbonation has been a concern of constructors and researchers because, by lowering the
pH of the interstitial solution of the concrete, it can favor the post-deposition and subsequent …

Sewage treatment plants are examples of structures subjected to highly aggressive
industrial environments. Given this, the objective of the present work is to evaluate the …

This paper presents a numerical study about the effects of chloride-induced corrosion on the
service life of structures. A two-dimensional geometrically nonlinear mechanical model …

Reinforced concrete structures are susceptible to chloride ion a ack under different
conditions, such as water reservoirs, coastal regions, and industrial locations. The physical …

Concrete durability design has received increasing importance recently, with specifications
moving from prescriptive to performance based. In performance-based approaches, it is …

Reinforced concrete is the main structural material used in the world in the construction of
bridges, roads and commercial and residential buildings. One effective method for …

The aim of the research was to evaluate the effectiveness of a galvanic multi-electrode
sensor to detect the probability of corrosion in reinforced concrete prisms subjected to drying …

Among the processes that accelerate the loss performance of reinforced concrete structures,
considering their frequent occurrence and severity, reinforcement corrosion can be seen as …
