The Life-Span Prediction of Reinforcing Bars Corrosion of Self-Compacting Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) has been used widely. However, the study of life-span prediction of self-compacting reinforced concrete is not enough under chloride ion corrosion condition, For the reinforcing bars corrosion that chlorine ions invade into SCC,the life-span prediction of Self-Compacting Concrete is the key issue. In this paper, the life-span prediction model of SCC structure under chloride ion corrosion condition is established and used to analyze the life-span prediction of SCC samples. Prediction results matched the test results very well, which shows the rationality of this prediction formula.
