It is widely known that corrosion is one of the main problems that reinforced concrete
structures may endure during their life‐cycle. This problem is usually tackled in a …

When it comes to sustainability, steel rebar corrosion has always been a big issue,
especially when they are exposed to harsh environmental conditions, such as marine and …

This study presents results on the performance of self-compacting concrete (SCC) mixtures
containing pumice powder as a pozzolan in various proportions. The required …

The purpose of this study is to measure the effects of increasing the specific surface area of
perlite natural pozzolan in self-compacting concrete (SCC) by the mechanical milling …

This paper aims to study the long-term durability of reinforced concrete in Persian Gulf
region, as one of the most aggressive marine environments. Ten mixtures with Type II, and V …

Re-curing partly recovers the mechanical and durability properties of fire-damaged
concretes. This inexpensive method can be used to reduce the cost of rehabilitation and …

The degradation caused by corrosion of rebar in concrete structures is one of the most
important issues to attract the attention of researchers focused on concrete durability …

Cracks in concrete are expected to accelerate the degradation of reinforced concrete--
mainly reinforcement corrosion. Previous literature studies have shown that the initiation …

A cost-efficient maintenance plan is crucial to ensure the reliability of decayed reinforced
concrete (RC) structures. A reliability-based optimization strategy is proposed that considers …

It has been a great pleasure to do this PhD research during the past four years. During my
research I could always count on the help and support of many people. Therefore, in this first …
