Durability of Reinforced Concrete under the Influence of Combined Mechanical and Environmental Load

This issue is now closed for submissions.

Description

The durability of reinforced concrete structures has become a crucial issue due to economic and ecological implications. Most of the deterioration of reinforced concrete structures observed in practice is related closely to more than one single mechanism. The service life of reinforced concrete structures can be considerably shortened under the influence of combined actions, for instance chloride penetration combined with an applied mechanical load.

Therefore, the prediction of service life based on one deteriorating process alone cannot be considered an accurate measure. There are a number of potential load combinations and so to ensure the best possible prediction of service life, step by step the most influential combinations must be investigated. In addition, the investigation of combined mechanical and environmental loads means that the durability of reinforced concrete structures under typical combined loads can be assessed in a realistic way.

The aim of this Special Issue is to present state-of-the-art research trends that highlight the advancement in our understanding of the combined influence of typical mechanical and environmental loads on the durability of reinforced concrete structures. Authoritative review articles and original research papers describing recent findings in this field are both welcome.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Combined influence of freeze-thaw cycles and chloride penetration
  • Combination of chloride penetration and mechanical load
  • Combination of freeze-thaw cycles, chloride penetration, and mechanical load
  • Combination of carbonation and mechanical load
  • Combination of chloride penetration and sulphate attack
  • Steel corrosion in reinforced concrete under combined load
  • Long-term exposure testing in coastal areas
  • Mathematical-statistical methods for the realistic description of interacting deterioration mechanisms
  • Modelling of interacting deterioration mechanisms
  • Current or new test methods used to characterise combined influence
  • Service life prediction for typical combined actions
  • Recommendations for more realistic durability design
  • Extending the service life of reinforced concrete structures under combined action
