Abstract EN
In the present investigation, service life of a reinforced concrete column exposed to chloride environment has been predicted.
This study has been based on numerical simulation of chloride ion diffusion in a concrete column during its anticipated life span.
The simulation process has included the concrete cover replacement whenever chloride ion concentration has reached the critical threshold value at the reinforcement surface.
Repair scheduling of the concrete column under consideration has been discussed.
Effects of the concrete cover thickness and the water cement ratio on the service life of the concrete column at hand have been presented.
A new approach for arranging locations of reinforcement steel bars has been introduced.
This approach is intended to prolong the service life of the concrete column under consideration against chloride induced corrosion.
