Probabilistic Corrosion Initiation Model for Coastal Concrete Structures

Corrosion of the reinforced concrete (RC) structures has been affecting the major infrastructures in U.S. and in other continents, causing the recent several bridge collapses and incidents. While the theoretical understanding is well-established, the reliable prediction of the corrosion process in the RC structural systems has hardly been successful due to the inherent uncertainties existed in the electrochemical corrosion process and the...
