The cover thickness design of concrete structures subjected to chloride ingress from RBDO solution technique

Abstract: Diffusion is the principal transport mechanism of chloride ions into concrete pores. The chlorides trigger the reinforcements’ depassivation when its concentration at the concrete/reinforcement interface reaches the threshold level. Thus, the depassivation defines the initiation stage end...
