Steel-reinforced concrete structure easily suffers from chloride corrosion when exposed to a
marine atmosphere environment. In this work, OPC/slag concrete beams combined with …

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 …

Results of indoor and outdoor atmospheric corrosion tests conducted during a long period of
time at Cuba and Campeche (Mexico) indicated very high corrosion rates at both sites which …

Carbonation influences the performance and reliability of reinforced concrete structures
during its lifecycle. Predicting Carbonation Depth (CD) in concrete requires understanding …

The corrosion products formed on embedded steel in concrete under simulated marine and
industrial conditions and natural marine environment were studied. A 0.50 water/cement …

This work presents some of the results from the project:“Effect of the environment on
reinforcement durability”(DURACON) in its first two-years period, which investigates the …

Carbonation in RC (reinforced concrete) structure is considered as one of the most critical
deteriorations in urban cities. Although RC column has one mix condition, carbonation depth …

Carbonation is one of the main concerns for concrete service life in tropical countries. The
mechanism and materials that produce it have been widely studied as well as natural and …

Building structures constitute obstacles for the entrance and distribution of marine aerosol in
the atmosphere of Havana City (tropical coastal climate). Due to the shielding effect caused …

Este trabalho propõe um modelo matemático destinado à estimativa da profundidade de
carbonatação e à previsão de vida útil de projeto de estruturas de concreto, envolvendo …
