| Publisher Description: This book proposes a new concept in corrosion modeling approach which is based on the existing scientific corrosion laws and is also verified by experimentation. An enhanced simulation tool has been developed for the coupled effects of mass and energy transport through porous media of reinforced concrete using cutting edge corrosion modeling techniques. A comprehensive enhancement of finite element model for predicting the rate of steel corrosion in concrete structures under the effect of various environmental actions is developed. Deep investigations were conducted for the effects of various environmental actions namely, chloride, temperature, oxygen, carbonation and moisture on corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete through extensive experimentation and the environment variables that have been overlooked in the past research works were further explored and understood properly. |
