In recent decades, many cities have become densely populated due to increased
urbanization, and the transportation infrastructure system has been heavily used. The …

Many existing concrete structures damaged by corrosion show signs of deterioration. The
assessment of the structural performance of their components requires understanding the …

Steel corrosion poses a serious threat to the structural performance of reinforced concrete
(RC) structures. Thus, this study evaluates the flexural capacity of RC beams through …

Corrosion of rebars is one of the main issues affecting the service life of Reinforced
Concrete (RC) structures. It is well-known that the use of fibers enhances the mechanical …

Assessing the residual capacity of corroded reinforced concrete (RC) beams depends on
quantifying the corrosion cracks and rebar cross-section loss, and understanding their …

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars are currently used as internal reinforcement of
concrete structures, as an alternative to traditional steel rebars, to avoid corrosion problems …

Abstracts Chloride ion attack leads to the corrosion of steel bars, causing cracking of the
concrete protective layer and affecting the bonding performance between steel bars and …

The corrosion of rebar results in the degradation of bond between rebar and concrete, thus
is unfavorable to the safety of reinforced concrete structures. So far, many studies were …

Corrosion-induced bond degradation leads to changes in deformation characteristics,
cracking patterns, and loss in tension stiffening in structural members. Since the induced …

Since the concrete cover cracking is the earliest visible manifestation of corrosion, a
relationship between crack opening and corrosion level can be a useful non-destructive tool …
