Durability deterioration of cementitious concrete and reinforced concrete (RC) is critical to
durability, safety, and sustainability of infrastructures, especially for offshore concrete …

Concrete is a heterogeneous material, consisting of different constituents such as
aggregates of different sizes and cement paste. Due to the heterogeneity of the concrete, its …

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 …

This second edition combines an explanation of background theory with a step-by-step
guide on the analysis of common bridge forms. It includes practical examples of everyday …

Chloride-induced corrosion of marine reinforced concrete structures involves numerous
uncertainties related to environmental exposure zone. The exposure zone is strongly …

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures deteriorate over time which affects their strength and
serviceability. To develop measures for protecting new RC structures against deterioration …

In probabilistic durability design of concrete structures in marine environment, the limit state
is defined as the corrosion initiation of reinforced steel. However, the owner may more …

Deterioration mechanisms, such as chloride-induced corrosion, affect bridges in aggressive
environments, making them more vulnerable to extreme events like earthquakes. Although …

The spatial variability of the mechanical properties of concrete is an important characteristic,
which plays an important role in the stochastic analysis of the concrete structures, especially …

Corrosion is a major problem for durability of reinforced concrete structures in a marine
environment. To establish the best accurate planning for maintenance operations, assessing …
