This paper formulates an analytical calculation model for predicting the cracking behavior of reinforced concrete ties to provide more consistent crack width calculation methods for large-scale concrete structures in which ...

There are different views in the literature on the relationship between the location of the carbonation front and the onset of reinforcement corrosion. Theoretically, corrosion starts when the carbonation front reaches the ...

Formålet med denne masteroppgaven var å se nærmere på µ-XRF som målemetode for kloridinntrenging i offshore betongkonstruksjoner. For å evaluere bruk av µ-XRF til dette formålet, ble den sammenlignet med to andre analysemetoder: ...

In this study, we investigated well-hydrated cement pastes containing dolomite and metakaolin cured at 38 °C or 60 °C, which were exposed to NaCl or CaCl2 solutions of various concentrations. We determined the chloride-binding ...

This study investigates whether chloride ingress testing can be done using NaCl solution instead of seawater when assessing the performance of concrete in marine conditions. Seawater contains besides sodium and chlorine ...

The thesis examines if it is possible to use resistivity measurements done with a Wenner probe to estimate the crack depth in concrete.

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a frequently used technique to investigate the phase assemblages of hydrated cements. However the obtained results are sensitive to the sample preparation. A commonly used technique for ...

The polarization resistance (Rp) of a metal gives an indication of the corrosion condition at a given time. The Rp of embedded reinforcement in concrete is usually determined using the linear polarization resistance or the ...

Considerable amounts of CO2 are emitted during the production of cement. One way to reduce these CO2 emissions is to replace some of the cement clinker with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). A cement containing ...

This paper describes an experimental study that comprised the exposure of cracked SFRC members to wet-dry cycles involving chloride and carbon-dioxide for two years. Results indicate that corrosion of steel fibres occurs ...
