The stability of fresh concrete should be properly considered to ensure the quality of building
engineering while requiring its high flowability. The poor fresh state stability is detrimental to …

Reuse in new buildings of structural concrete components from demolitions holds the
potential for avoiding the use of raw materials to produce new components, including …

All existing models to forecast the corrosion performance of reinforced concrete structures
exposed to chloride environments are based on one common theoretical concept, namely, a …

The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from concrete production leads to decreased
alkalinity of the concrete. This is generally perceived as a durability problem, because the …

Corrosion-induced concrete cracking is of importance in evaluating service life of reinforced
concrete (RC) slabs. Rust distribution and steel bar configuration are two of the most …

A modelling framework for predicting carbonation-induced corrosion in reinforced concrete
is presented. The framework constituents include a new model for water transport in cracked …

While extensive evidence indicates that the porous microstructure of the steel-concrete
interface (SCI) is the key factor contributing to early depassivation and expedited corrosion …

The steel–concrete interface (SCI) is known to play a major role in corrosion of steel in
concrete, but a fundamental understanding is still lacking. One reason is that concrete's …

We introduce an experimental setup to chemically image corrosion processes at metal-
electrolyte interfaces under stagnant, confined conditions—relevant in a wide range of …

Electrochemical kinetics of steel bar corrosion in concrete is of complex nature, especially
when it is subjected to alternate wet and dry environments with changes in conditions of …
