The state of Namibia's concrete infrastructure – A comparative study of Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, Arandis and Usakos towns
… the design and construction specification of concrete (for durability) follows the traditional method of prescribing parameters which over time are believed to produce durable concrete. These parameters include concrete exposure definition, cover, concrete strength, concreting materials and …

Short & long term properties of self-consolidating concrete incorporating fly ash and local aggregate
Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is a high performance concrete that flows under its own weight so that filling forms containing congested reinforcement is possible without mechanical vibration within placements. There has been growing interest to use SCC for precast and prestressed concrete …

Durability Assessment and Service Life Prediction of Concrete in Extreme Aggressive Environment
… elements by assessing the performance of various concrete mixes for chloride resistance. The study focuses on establishing and developing correlations between chloride diffusion rates and concrete resistivity. By identifying these correlations and based on the target service life, the research …

Impact of Specification Changes on Chloride Induced Corrosion Service Life of Virginia Bridge Decks
… to first repair and subsequent rehabilitation of concrete bridge decks exposed to chloride deicer salts that recognizes and incorporates the statistical nature of factors affecting the corrosion process is developed. The model expands on an existing deterministic model using statistical computing …

Service Life Modeling of Virginia Bridge Decks
… to determine the time to the End of Functional Service Life (EFSL) for concrete bridge decks in Virginia was developed. The service life of Virginia bridge decks is controlled by chloride-induced corrosion of the reinforcing steel. Monte Carlo resampling techniques were used to integrate the …
