Abstract: To clarify the mechanism of chloride penetration into concrete subjected to drying–wetting cycles, two kinds of concrete, ordinary portland cement concrete and fly ash (FA) concrete, were tested in a cyclic NaCl solution ...

Abstract: Although the ingress of chloride into concrete is normally controlled by absorption and diffusion mechanisms, external loads can affect this process by modifying the microstructure of concrete. To predict the chloride ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental investigations to compare the effect of three environmental solutions on the degradation of tensile performance of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars. Three kinds of FRP bars, basalt FRP ...
