Steel corrosion is the main cause of deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. We
provide an up-to-date review on corrosion mechanisms and recent advances in electrical …

In the last few decades, the alkali–silica reaction (ASR) has been reported as one of the
major concrete concerns regarding durability, leading to high maintenance and …

Corrosion of reinforcement is one of the major durability challenges which leads to a
reduction in the design life of reinforced concrete. Due to an increasing demand for longer …

The steel–concrete interface (SCI) is known to influence corrosion of steel in concrete.
However, due to the numerous factors affecting the SCI—including steel properties, concrete …

Reinforcement corrosion reduces the service life of concrete buildings and infrastructures,
resulting in significant worldwide economic losses every year. Alkali-activated materials …

Several methods for corrosion monitoring of reinforced concrete structures (RCS) have been
proposed in the last few decades. These systems may be used either in new, existing or …

Saline soil is widely distributed in Western China. Its main components have the
characteristics of high concentration and many kinds of ions, which pose a serious threat to …

The literature is reviewed with respect to defining, measuring, and interpreting the chloride
threshold (CT). CT was defined with a strong fundamental basis in the Point Defect Model …

Optical fiber sensing systems have been widely developed for several fields such as
biomedical diagnosis, food technology, military and industrial applications and civil …

Most of the existing infrastructures (eg, oversea bridges) are made of reinforced concrete
(RC); therefore, their safety is of high priority for our society. RC structures undergo …
