The formation mechanism on the convection zone (“skin effect”) of chloride ingress are
explored systematically by contrasting concretes in marine atmospheric, splash, tidal, and …

Chloride binding is a complex phenomenon in which the chloride ions bind with hydrated
Portland cement (PC) phases via physical and chemical mechanisms. However, the current …

Chloride ingression into reinforced concrete (RC) is currently considered an important
reason behind the deterioration of RC structures exposed to aggressive environments …

This paper presents a new chloride diffusion model for concrete exposed to marine
environment, which considers the effects of different types of chloride binding. The present …

A new empirical chloride profile model contemplating the convection zone based on
concrete structures present for more than 40 years in tidal, splash and marine atmosphere …

For reinforced concrete structures in tidal zone, the dry-wet ratio (the ratio of drying time to
wetting time in one cycle) of member varies with the elevation. Chloride ions transport in …

Chloride-induced corrosion of steel reinforcements has been identified as one of the main
causes of deterioration of concrete structures. A feasible numerical method is required to …

The conventional procedure for chloride profiles modeling is based only on the diffusion
zone considering the solution of Fick's second law of diffusion, however, the extrapolation of …

Real chloride profiles from structures present for more than 40 years in different marine
aggressive zones were analyzed in this paper. Concrete cores were extracted in order to …

The construction sector is responsible for some of the highest energy and natural resources
consumption. In this context, new materials and solutions are created aimed at developing …
