TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the state-of-the-art in the area of critical chloride thresholding of reinforced concrete is presented, highlighting the strong need for a practice-related test method, and focusing especially on experimental procedures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the societal, economic, technological, and educational challenges related to corrosion of steel in concrete, and presented the state-of-the-art of the most relevant issues in the field.

TL;DR: In this article, reinforcement steel embedded in six different concrete mixes was exposed to chloride by wetting/drying cycles and various parameters were continuously monitored during more than 1 year, and the most dominant influencing parameter was the steel/concrete interface since corrosion initiated on the lower side of the rebar (with respect to casting direction).

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive list of possible local characteristics at the steel-concrete interface (SCI) and available information regarding their properties as well as their occurrence in engineering structures and in the laboratory is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a literature review summarizes the state-of-the-art, reporting corrosion rate data for a broad range of cement types, w/b ratios and environmental conditions.
