In-lab accelerated steel rebar corrosion tests have greatly deepened the understandings in
corrosion behaviors, but remain still far from being filling the gaps between the corrosion …

In this paper, a three-dimensional meso‑scopic concrete model based on ANSYS
Parametric Design Language programs was newly proposed to simulate the chloride …

A methodology using parabolic fitting was proposed to regress three points in chloride
profile and determine the depth of convection zone in concrete. Based on exposure tests …

This work proposes a novel numerical framework to investigate 3D chloride diffusion
behavior in reinforced concrete (RC). An efficient dynamic modeling approach is developed …

The transport properties of concrete are closely related to its heterogeneous features. In this
study, by considering the multi-scale microstructural characteristics, the chloride transport …

Chloride-induced corrosion of steel reinforcements has been identified as one of the main
causes of deterioration of concrete structures. A feasible numerical method is required to …

The random distribution of aggregates plays a key role in the variation of steel corrosion
morphology in chloride-contaminated RC structures. The purpose of this study is to …

Many experimental and numerical studies have been conducted to explain chloride ion
penetration in concrete including aggregates, ITZ and mortar. To my best knowledge, there …

The dispersion and randomness of concrete cracking under compressive loads make it
challenging to predict the diffusion rate of chloride ions. In this paper, the cohesive element …

Chloride-induced corrosion is the leading cause of structural performance deterioration and
life decay in marine environments. This paper delves into the mesoscopic characteristics …
