  Service Life Enhancement: Exploring the Effects of Supplementary Cementitious Materials on RC Structures in Marine and Urban Contexts

  By Dharma Raj Upadhyaya, Dr. B. Kameswara Rao, P. Sree Pavan

  Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) structures stand as the cornerstone of modern construction due to their cost-effectiveness and widespread availability. The most predeterminant factor for the deterioration of RC structure is due to the corrosion of reinforcement. This review paper comprehensively explores the occurrence and degradation mechanism of reinforced concrete (RC) structures when exposed to adverse environmental conditions, i.e., marine, or urban environments. Corrosion of reinforcement takes place when RC structures are …
