Relationship between Corrosion of Reinforcement and Surface Cracking Width in Concrete by Jian Cao, Liangfang Liu, Shangchuan Zhao

“…The durability of structure cannot be guaranteed when a corrosion expansion crack reaches the surface of the reinforced concrete member. In this paper, firstly, based on the existing theoretical model of steel corrosion degree, the calculation process of the model and the determination of the relevant parameters in the model were analyzed and discussed. …”

Dynamic heat transfer mechanisms of internal thermal mass: Effects of thermal conductivity and diffusivity under varied temperature conditions by Ru Yang, Liting Yuan, Dong Zhang, Taiquan Wu, Yihang Lu

“…., plywood with 0.17 W/m·°C) generate more thermal waves and experience faster surface temperature rises compared to materials with higher conductivity (e.g., reinforced concrete with 1.74 W/m·°C). In the case of exponentially declining indoor air temperature, heat exchange per unit area decreases with increasing thickness, with plywood (0.02 m) reaching its peak temperature at 6360 s, and reinforced concrete (0.2 m) at 9900 s. …”
