A framework for determining field‐calibrated surface chloride concentration distributions for prediction of initiation of reinforcement corrosion in reinforced concrete (RC) structures exposed to hot‐arid Gulf environments
Surface chloride concentration, C s , is a key environmental boundary parameter in chloride‐ingress modeling and corrosion‐initiation prediction for reinforced concrete structures, yet it is highly exposure‐dependent and often selected from generalized literature ranges, software defaults, or broad exposure...
