The kinetic competition between transport and oxidation of ferrous ions governs precipitation of corrosion products in carbonated concrete

Corrosion products, originating from steel corrosion and precipitating in the concrete pore system, can lead to concrete cracking and to spalling of the concrete cover. Related premature structural repair causes high costs. Thus, reliable quantitative models are needed, which currently do not exist....
