Investigation of the Combined Chloride-Sulphate Attack and its Impact on Reinforced Concrete Structures in Coastal-Industrial Environments
Chloride ingress and sulphate attack are the primary drivers of Reinforced Concrete (RC) deterioration in coastal-industrial environments. While chlorides trigger reinforcement depassivation, sulphates degrade the concrete matrix through the formation of expansive products. Coastal structures face a simultaneous couple...
