Modeling Chloride Transport in Concrete Under the Coupling of Extreme Saltwater Intrusion and Short-Term Dry–Wet Alternation

Estuarine ship-lock concrete is exposed to chloride concentrations approaching 3.5% and operation-induced drying–wetting cycles as short as 80 min, conditions that are not adequately represented by conventional marine tidal models. This study experimentally investigated chloride ingress under six drying–wetting ratios...
