Chloride-induced corrosion of steel reinforcement – Mechanical performance and pit depth analysis (2013, background): “Even though results vary, the maximum pit depths observed [39–41] are 4–8 times higher than the average pit depths (in other words maximum/average pit depth ratio), illustrating the severity of a concrete chloride reach environment (for example, an average pit depth of 0.”
Three-dimensional corrosion pit measurement and statistical mechanical degradation analysis of deformed steel bars subjected to accelerated corrosion (2014, background): “This randomness increases the failure probability of corroded RC members as the corroded bar may fail at cross sections that are not subjected to the maximum load [8–10].”
Mechanical behaviour of pitting corrosion of flexural and shear reinforcement and its effect on structural reliability of corroding RC beams (2009, methodology): “The present paper improves the spatial time-dependent reliability analysis by considering shear and flexure limit states using improved probabilistic models of pitting described by Stewart and Al-Harthy [13], incorporating ductile and brittle mechanical behaviour of reinforcement for main (longitudi”
