Service Life Prediction of Precast Concrete Structures Exposed to Chloride Environment by Dawei Zhang, Yu Zeng, Mingshan Fang, Weiliang Jin

“…Chloride-induced corrosion is widely accepted as one of the primary causes of premature deterioration for concrete structures in marine or deicing salt environment. For precast concrete (PC) structures, such durability problems may even be severer because defects in joint areas, e.g., cracks caused by grout shrinkage and improper construction, can accelerate chloride ion transportation process and may cause the interface shear failure when subjected to seismic load. …”
