Ultrasound is considered as an effective nondestructive testing method. This review paper
discusses the potential of ultrasonic techniques for defect detection and fractures in …

The random distribution of corrosion pits causes the cross-sectional area of a tendon to vary
along its length, producing a severe stress concentration at the pits. These effects must be …

Steel corrosion is mainly at fault for the trend of deterioration among US infrastructure—
namely, bridges, pipelines, and wharves. Reinforced concrete (RC) is used as the primary …

This paper investigates the influence of corrosion degree and corrosion morphology on the
mechanical properties of the steel reinforcement. Tensile tests were first conducted on the …

Corrosion and its Consequences for Reinforced Concrete Structures serves as an
indispensable guide for engineers, scientists and researchers, exploring the fundamental …

Steel bars in reinforced concrete (RC) structures may corrode in an aggressive environment,
resulting in performance deterioration and premature failure. Stirrups begin to corrode …

Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC), which improves mechanical properties after
cracking, became an interesting material for reinforced concrete structures. However, there …

This paper investigates the influence of non-uniform corrosion on the bond strength of the
steel reinforcement in concrete. To achieve the non-uniform corrosion, partial surface of the …

In this paper, a modified accelerated corrosion method based on impressing current was
adopted to generate non-uniform corrosion of stirrups in reinforced concrete (RC) beams …

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