Implication

Corrosion mechanisms and critical chloride content are detailed in reinforced concrete under wet-dry exposure.

Key Points

This research investigates the impact of wet-dry cycles on chloride-induced corrosion in steel-reinforced concrete and establishes critical chloride concentrations.
Examined RC specimens under various wet-dry cycles and immersion conditions.
Conducted chloride profiling and moisture sorption tests to evaluate mass transport.
Used electrochemical methods to determine corrosion initiation.
Identified corrosion products using Raman spectroscopy.
Wet-dry cycles significantly accelerated moisture and chloride ingress relative to immersion.
Critical chloride content testing duration was reduced from 2-5 years to approximately 1 year.
Results showed scattered critical chloride content values across exposure conditions (0.5 to 3.5% chloride).
Weak inter-regime differences were noted in critical chloride content measurements.
