Purpose The limitation of bridges' operation can cause serious social, environmental and
economic losses. Therefore, the monitoring and maintenance actions of these structures …

Global warming will increase the rate of chloride ingress and the rate of steel corrosion of
concrete structures. Furthermore, in coastal (atmospheric marine) zones, sea level rise will …

Delft University of Technology Expected implications of climate change on the corrosion of
structures Page 1 Delft University of Technology Expected implications of climate change on …

The carbonation of concrete is the prime deterioration factor in reinforced concrete (RC)
structures. During carbonation, the atmospheric CO2 penetrates the concrete and lowers its …

Many studies have been conducted on the proportional design of fly-ash-blended low-CO2
concrete, but those studies did not consider the limitation of its carbonation durability …

Reinforced concrete is extensively used in the construction of buildings as it is comparatively
cheap and provides large durability. Durability gets reduced drastically by corrosion when …

This paper assessed the service life of RC bridges subjected to carbonation under a
changing climate based on time-dependent reliability analysis. First, a simplified …

Climate changes, such as increasing of CO2 concentration and global warming, will impact
on the carbonation service life of concrete structures. Moreover, slag blended concrete has a …

Mortar finishing is frequently used to improve the carbonation service life of structural
concrete. Moreover, carbonation is aggravated due to global warmings, such as the …
