title = "Deterioration of Concrete Structures",
abstract = "Chloride ingress is a common cause of deterioration of reinforced concrete bridges. Concrete may be exposed to chloride by seawater or de-icing salts. The chloride initiates corrosion of the reinforcement, which through expansion disrupts the concrete. In addition, the corrosion reduces the cross-section of the reinforcement and thereby influences the reliability of the structure. ",
