Influence of Long-Term Marine Fluid Ingress and Ion Transport on Properties of 30-Year-Old Reinforced Concrete
Reinforced concrete structures in marine environments deteriorate over time due to the hydrodynamic effects of seawater exposure and the transport of salt-laden, humid air. In particular, fluid-driven permeation and diffusion of chloride and sulfate ions into the porous matrix lead to chemical reactions that cause rein...
