Corrosion is a major issue in construction and infrastructure management, giving rise to high
repair costs, safety concerns and structural failures. Especially reinforcement corrosion in …

Corrosion of steel bar is one of key factors undermining reinforced concrete (RC) structures
in a harsh environment. This paper attempts to review the non-destructive procedures from …

Crack location and type identification of reinforced concrete columns in service is of great
interest to researchers, since it influences the decision-making of maintenance and retrofit …

Concrete cracking induced by strand corrosion can degrade bond strength and lead to
prestress loss. A novel model is proposed to predict corrosion-induced prestress loss in …

Alkali–silica reaction (ASR) is a concrete degradation mechanism that generates internal
cracks in concrete material as a result of volumetric expansion. This mechanism is currently …

This study presents a nondestructive evaluation method based on guided ultrasonic waves
(GUW) to quantify corrosion damage of prestressing steel strands. Specifically, a reference …

Long-term corrosion tests were performed on prestressed T-girders measuring 4.98 m (16 ft,
4 in.). The test program was composed of four specimens, including one control. The …

Prestressed concrete (PC) piles in marine environments are vulnerable to corrosion damage
especially at their tidal zone because of the concurrent exposure of steel reinforcement to …

The bonding behavior between ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) and normal
concrete (NC) is crucial for enhancing the durability and performance of reparation and …

The corrosion morphology and the mechanical behavior of corroded prestressing strands
are investigated in the present study. Nineteen corroded strands are obtained through …
