Abstract: The corrosion behavior of steel in cracked ordinary portland cement (OPC) and portland pozzolana cement (PPC) concretes when exposed to a chloride-rich environment is presented here. Three water-to-cement (

Abstract: This paper discusses the improvement expected in the service life of reinforced concrete (RC) structural elements subjected to chloride-rich environments through the use of blended cement. Comparisons are made between ...

Abstract: In developing a one-dimensional analysis and design procedure for reinforced concrete structures, research is generally based on yield phenomena and the plastic flow of steel in tension and concrete in compression. The ...
