Abstract: This paper investigates the hydroionic transport processes at the near surface of cementbased porous materials under external dryingwetting (DW) actions. A basic multiphase model is retained and reviewed critically for ...

Abstract: The critical nature of the alkali-silica reaction (ASR) on premature concrete deterioration requires the quantitative assessment, in time and space, of the chemomechanical impact of ASR expansion on the dimensional stability ...

Abstract: Corrosion of reinforced concrete is one of the major deterioration mechanisms that results in premature failure of the reinforced concrete structures. In practice, concrete crack width is one of the most important criteria ...
