Abstract: Control and monitoring of reinforcement corrosion in concrete is of significant practical importance if premature failure of reinforced concrete structures is to be prevented. The detection of the initiation of reinforcement ...

Abstract: Although research in reinforcement corrosion in concrete has been intensive for the past three decades, studies of the most recently published literature reveal that the current state of research in corrosion propagation ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the analysis of uncertain creep and shrinkage effects, and in particular the computation of the probability of serviceability failure for a reinforced concrete structure subjected to stochastic loadings. ...

Abstract: Rising sea levels and increased sea storminess have resulted in higher frequency of wave overtopping and greater magnitude of hydrodynamic action on coastal defenses. The situation has been exacerbated for reinforced ...

Abstract: This technical note concerns the estimation of the outcrossing rate of nonstationary Gaussian vector processes from a convex polyhedral limit-state surface enclosing the origin. The theoretically most attractive approach ...

Abstract: As a global problem for reinforced concrete structures located in a chloride and/or carbon dioxide–laden environment, reinforcing steel corrosion in concrete costs approximately $100 billion per annum worldwide for maintenance ...

Abstract: In view of the importance of the aggregate density to mechanical properties of concrete, it is necessary to determine the aggregate density at any point in concrete. Once the aggregate density is known, some other mechanical ...

Abstract: Corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete can alter the interface between the steel and concrete and thus affects the bond mechanism. This subsequently influences the behavior of reinforced concrete structures in terms ...
