RAAC panels can suddenly collapse before any warning of corrosion-induced surface cracking
E. Korec, P. Grassl, M. Jirasek +2
The collapse of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) panels has attracted considerable public and academic interest. As detailed experimental data are not yet available an…

Unravelling the interplay between steel rebar corrosion rate and corrosion-induced cracking of reinforced concrete
E. Korec, M. Jirasek, H. S. Wong +1
Accelerated impressed current testing is the most common experimental method for assessing the susceptibility to corrosion-induced cracking, the most prominent challenge to the dur…

Predicting the impact of water transport on carbonation-induced corrosion in variably saturated reinforced concrete
E. Korec, L. Mingazzi, F. Freddi +1
A modelling framework for predicting carbonation-induced corrosion in reinforced concrete is presented. The framework constituents include a new model for water transport in cracke…
