One of the main load resisting elements in prestressed concrete bridges is prestressing
steel. Corrosion of the prestressing steel is generally protected by grouting and duct. Even …

Infrastructures and industrial buildings are commonly exposed to aggressive environments
and damaged by corrosion. In prestressed reinforced concrete structures, the potential risks …

Degradation of bonding behavior due to chloride-induced corrosion of steel strands is
critical for serviceability of prestressed concrete structures. In this paper, total thirty-one …

Corrosion of reinforcement is one of the leading causes of the deterioration in reinforced
concrete structures. RC structures damaged by reinforcement corrosion can exhibit not only …

In the present work the mechanical behavior of reinforcing steel rebars deteriorated by
corrosion is investigated. The effects of both the degradation morphologies (uniform and …

The problem of the durability of reinforced concrete structures is arisen, dramatically, in the
last decades, showing that one of the most dangerous degradation phenomena is …

This paper presents an experimental study and theoretical analysis on corroded
prestressing tendons and corroded prestressed concrete beams. 68 steel strands and steel …

Millions of in-service concrete bridges around the world are exceeding their design life.
Corrosion may lead to a sudden fracture of prestressing steels, and understanding the …

The evaluation of the corrosion effects on both the local and global behaviour of reinforced
concrete elements is nowadays a topical problem, since many structures have reached their …

An experimental campaign was carried out on full‐scale naturally corroded prestressed
concrete (PC) beams without transverse reinforcement to investigate the corrosion effects on …
