With the deterioration of the infrastructure and the increasing traffic volume, the service
performance of bridge structures dramatically dropped. Strengthening and retrofitting these …

This paper presents a mesoscale numerical approach to investigate the chloride diffusivity in
cracked concrete. Concrete is treated as a five-phase material, including cement paste …

This study investigates corrosion resistance and corrosion interface characteristics of novel
Cr-alloyed steel rebar in mortar using electrochemical measurements, X-ray computed …

Strain hardening fibre reinforced geopolymer concrete, which utilises waste material rather
than primary mineral products and is suitable for cast-in-place applications, shows …

The seismic performance of corroded reinforced concrete beams was investigated
experimentally in this research. Corrosion was induced by the electrochemical accelerated …

Corrosion accelerates the fatigue damage accumulation and decreases the fatigue life of
reinforced concrete bridges. A critical issue in the corrosion-fatigue life prediction is to deal …

Corrosion of reinforcing bars accelerates the fatigue damage accumulation and significantly
reduces the fatigue life of aging reinforced concrete (RC) bridges. This paper experimentally …

The performance and remaining service life of deteriorating reinforced concrete (RC)
structures decrease with time due to increased critical damage propagation based on …

Electrophoretic deposition is a new method for the repair of rust-expanded cracked
reinforced concrete, which needs high performance epoxy resin repair solution. Selecting an …

Shear strength (SS) is an essential component in the design of reinforced concrete structural
elements, particularly in severe settings where reinforcements can occur and cause a loss in …
