Development of a Reliability-Based Framework and Empirical Models for Justifying Allowable Chloride Limits and Quantifying Critical Input Variables for Predicting the Service Life of Reinforced Concrete Structures

Creator:

Shakouri Hassanabadi, Mahmoud

Abstract:

Significant progress has been made over the past 20 years in developing models to estimate the service-life of reinforced concrete systems. The basic understandings of the mechanisms that control the transport of ions and moisture in concrete systems have been well researched and models for determining corrosion initiation, specifically chloride-induced...

A Comprehensive Mechanistic Study on Using Fine Lightweight Aggregate to Mitigate Alkali-silica Reaction

Creator:

Li, Chang

Abstract:

Previous research has shown that using fine lightweight aggregate (FLWA) can be a promising strategy to mitigate alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in mortar and concrete. While several possible theories were proposed by researchers, discrepancies in testing methods, materials, and supporting evidence still exist. Therefore, this study was initiated. There are two...
