2. 1. Assessment of Concrete Structures Including Corrosion and Cracks

   Author : Mattias Blomfors; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reinforced concrete; corrosion; nonlinear FE analysis; reinforcement bond; assessment; cracks;

   Abstract : Reinforced concrete (RC) structures constitute a major proportion of the built environment and society relies continuously on their service. Many of these structures were built in the era following the Second World War and are thus approaching the end of their intended service life. READ MORE

4. 2. Reliable Assessments of Concrete Structures with Corroded Reinforcement: An Engineering Approach

   Author : Mattias Blomfors; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; anchorage; safety formats.; reliability; reinforced concrete structures; bond; finite element modelling;

   Abstract : When in service, concrete structures are inevitably exposed to detrimental processes which, over time, can affect the structures’ ability to fulfil their structural requirements. The most common cause of deterioration of concrete structures is corrosion of the reinforcement; a problem that is expected to become more severe in future, due to climate change. READ MORE
