The negative impacts of cement-based material (CBM) production are way bigger than ever
expected. To illustrate the scale of this phenomenon, all the forests in the world, regardless …

Degradation of reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructure because of corrosion of the steel
reinforcement is a well-known and expensive global problem. The inspection, repair …

Chloride threshold is a significant index to judge the initial corrosion of rebar in concrete
structures, and a key parameter for durability analysis and service life design of reinforced …

Steel corrosion caused by chloride penetration is an important problem in construction
practices threatening the long-term durability of reinforced concrete structures. In this study …

This paper investigates chloride ion convection–diffusion transport in the finite RC structure
under reverse water pressures. The chloride ion penetration in concrete is examined …

The durability of structures in aggressive environments does not often reach the service life
for which they were designed. This paper shows the methodology and results obtained in …

Stainless steel (SS) reinforcement is increasingly used to control corrosion of reinforced
concrete in aggressive marine and deicing salt service. It is well established that the chloride …

The corrosion behavior, semiconducting properties and chemical composition of the passive
film formed on lean-duplex stainless steel LDSS 2001, LDSS 2304 and AISI 304 …

Thermomechanically treated (TMT) carbon steel bars, often known as TempCore TM bars,
are commonly used as reinforcements in concrete structures. TMT causes the formation of a …

This research has investigated the effects of stainless steel (SS) reinforcement on the
flexural behaviour of high-strength reinforced concrete beams subjected to static and blast …
