The concrete industry has long been adding discrete fibers to cementitious materials to
compensate for their (relatively) low tensile strengths and control possible cracks. Extensive …

The current state of knowledge on concrete carbonation has proven that this phenomenon is
one of the key factors influencing the reinforced concrete durability reduction during the …

Infrastructure systems are encountering unprecedented challenges as a result of climate
change. Identifying infrastructure vulnerabilities before hazards strike is of paramount …

Performance assessment of a transportation network is naturally a complicated problem.
This is mainly due to the fact that such a spatially distributed network is subjected to a variety …

A probabilistic model for chloride induced corrosion of the reinforcing steel in concrete
structures is presented in this work. The main purpose of this model is to simulate the …

Gradual deterioration of RC bridges due to chloride-induced corrosion is of concern for
bridge durability and life-cycle performance assessment under earthquakes. Uncertainties …

This study presents the results of a refined numerical investigation meant at understanding
the time‐dependent cyclic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge columns under …

A non-linear finite element (FE) framework for time-dependent capacity assessment of
corroded rectangular reinforced concrete (RC) columns is developed. The proposed non …

Crack initiation of concrete cover due to corrosion defines the end of functional service life
where repair or replacement is required for corroded reinforced concrete (RC) structures …

Chloride-induced corrosion in reinforced concrete (RC) leads to non-uniform distribution of
corrosion products around the rebar perimeter. The present study focuses on corrosion …
