Chloride Transport in Cracked Concrete Subjected to Wetting – Drying Cycles: Numerical Simulations and Measurements on Bridges Exposed to De-Icing Salts

Chloride Transport in Cracked Concrete Subjected to Wetting – Drying Cycles: Numerical Simulations and Measurements on Bridges Exposed to De-Icing Salts

Although many models for service life predictions have been developed, their application to existing bridges is still not at a satisfactory level. The here presented coupled three-dimensional chemo-hygro-thermo-mechanical (CHTM) model can realistically simulate both corrosion phases: initiation and...
