... to check the model, and the results suggested that the new model can effectively predict the CT values of rebar in concrete structures under alternating temperature conditions. Originality/value This research may provide a new method to accurately measure the CT of reinforcement when the concrete...

...Hui Yu; William H. Hartt Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore and compare the influence of diverse coarse aggregate (CA) diffusivities on reinforcing steel corrosion initiation through a quantitative modeling analysis approach. Design/methodology/approach Finite element analysis...

...L. Maldonado; M.A. Pech‐Canul; Safaa Alhassan Purpose Reinforcing steel bars in concrete structures exposed to tropical marine atmospheres experience very high corrosion rates due to several environmental factors. The aim of this research was mainly to elucidate if zinc‐coated rebars may delay...

...D. Mukherjee This paper discusses the lower concentration reinforcement of cathodic ultrafine ceramic particulates, on metal matrices like Zn, Al and alloy‐matrices like Cu Zn, Cu Mn, Al Zn and Ni‐P‐B alloy‐electrodeposits, etc. It is assumed that these ultrafine ceramic particulates in lower...
