The slow progress of the external sulfate attack and the large size and criticality of typical
structures affected by this phenomenon establish numerical modeling as a key tool to …

Cementitious materials exposed to marine and saline environments are commonly
threatened by a combined attack of sulfate and chloride ions. This study developed a …

The hydraulic concrete structures commonly suffer from severe dissolution. Dissolution has
a great influence on the mechanical properties and durability of concrete, which would be …

Sulfate-induced deterioration can reduce the service life of a concrete structure. A coupled
chemo-transport-damage model for external sulfate attack is developed, which predicts the …

Chloride-induced corrosion of steel bars can shorten the service life of concrete structures in
marine environment. Therefore, a numerical model that can accurately characterize the …

Corrosion of reinforcement caused by chloride penetration has become the primary factor of
concrete durability in the saline soil environment. A chemo-damage-transport model for …

The work reports on an experimental programme, conducted to validate comprehensively
our previously proposed coupled chemo-transport model for external sulfate attack on …

Reinforced concrete structures in an unsaturated state experiences significant degradation
when exposed to combined chloride and sulfate attack in marine environments. For …

In circumstances with wastewater and seawater, the behavior of multi-ions including
calcium, chloride and others in concrete attracts attention. The present study investigated the …

Concrete constructions used in harsh marine environments are commonly destroyed by
sulfate ions. In this paper, by modeling aggregates as random convex polygons, to analyze …
