Durable design of reinforced concrete elements against corrosion

A State-of-the-Art Review of Bending and Shear Behaviors of Corrosion-Damaged Reinforced Concrete Beams

“…(4) is a more conservative representation of the trend. Ali et al (2015) proposed a practice-oriented framework to predict the remaining flexural and shear behavior of beams with corroded reinforcements. Flexural capacity of the illustrative example worked out by these researchers with 15% longitu-dinal reinforcement mass loss is around 72.2% and 47.2% using Eq.…”

Understanding Eco-Friendly Anticorrosion Prospect on Steel-Reinforcement in NaCl-Immersed Concrete from Biochemical Characterization of Irvingia Gabonensis Leaf

“…Steel-reinforced concrete is a versatile construction material of choice globally for application that could range from building small post through parking garages, tall buildings, vast bridges, harbour structures, onto offshore oil and gas installations [1][2][3][4][5]. However, aggressive agents from the service environment of application ingress through the concrete to the steel-reinforcement (steel-rebar), break the thin passive oxide layer protecting the surface of the metallic material, and render the rebar susceptible to corrosion attack/degradation [3,[5][6][7].…”

“…Steel-reinforced concrete is a versatile construction material of choice globally for application that could range from building small post through parking garages, tall buildings, vast bridges, harbour structures, onto offshore oil and gas installations [1][2][3][4][5]. However, aggressive agents from the service environment of application ingress through the concrete to the steel-reinforcement (steel-rebar), break the thin passive oxide layer protecting the surface of the metallic material, and render the rebar susceptible to corrosion attack/degradation [3,[5][6][7]. Among the well-known aggressive agents, chloride ions in seawater from natural marine environment in the coastal region or in artificial saline environment encountered via use of de-icing salts in temperate region constitute a major steel-rebar corrosion inducing agent [6][7][8][9][10].…”
