Corrosion-induced cracking behaviour of RC beams: experimental investigation, empirical modelling, and finite element analysis

This study investigates corrosion-induced cracking in reinforced concrete (RC) beams through experiments, empirical modelling, and finite element (FE) analysis. Specimens corroded using the galvanostatic (GS) and artificial chloride environment (ACE) methods were examined using X...

Multi-objective optimum life-cycle management and decision-making for deteriorating structures: review and future directions

Civil structures deteriorate under continuous exposure to external loads, mechanical and environmental stressors, and extreme events throughout their service life. The high uncertainty associated with these factors complicates the accurate prediction of structural performance and...
