The cyclic behaviors of the reinforcing bar in the existing reinforced concrete structures are fully studied, and the effects of yield stress on the critical slenderness and

Figure 4.6 shows that the flexural strength degradation caused by corrosion-induced crack is more significant in prestressed concrete structures than that in reinforced ones.. It

To interpret the trigger of the sinkhole phenomena at Il Piano and to delimit and characterize the sinkhole-prone areas into zones (Fig.  13 ), (a) the 3D spatial distribution of

Based on the corrosive environment and fatigue load of prestressed concrete structure in practical engineering, a test method was proposed to reflect the corrosion behavior of

For service life prediction of concrete structures with new, blended cements, cor- rosion rate data are urgently needed because the so-called “corrosion propagation stage” might be a

Today, the topic of corrosion of steel in carbonated concrete became of great interest again (Figure 2) for two reasons: first, many old structures have reached their service life

More than 30 samples were investigated to determine the nature of concrete, mortars, bricks and steel reinforcing bars and of degradation products in view of a
