Unfolding-based corrector estimates for a reaction- diffusion system predicting concrete corrosion
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use the periodic unfolding technique to derive corrector estimates for a reaction-diffusion system describing concrete corrosion penetration in the sewer pipes. The system, defined in a periodically-perforated domain, is semi-linear, partially dissipative, and coupled via a non-linear ordinary differential equation posed on the solid-water interface at the pore level. After discussing the solvability of the pore scale model, we apply the periodic unfolding techniques (adapted to treat the presence of perforations) not only to get upscaled model equations, but also to prepare a proper framework for getting a convergence rate (corrector estimates) of the averaging procedure.

Semi-discrete finite difference multiscale scheme for a concrete corrosion model: approximation estimates and convergence
We propose a semi-discrete finite difference multiscale scheme for a concrete corrosion model consisting of a system of two-scale reaction-diffusion equations coupled with an ode. We prove energy and regularity estimates and use them to get the necessary compactness of the approximation estimates. Finally, we illustrate numerically the behavior of the two-scale finite difference approximation o...

We study a reaction-diffusion system with moving boundary describing a prototypical fast reaction-diffusion scenario arising in the chemical corrosion of concrete-based materials. We prove the continuity with respect to data and parameters of weak solutions to the resulting moving-boundary system of partial differential equations.

Cracking of the concrete cover due to corrosion is defined as the serviceability limit state of reinforced concrete structures. This study evaluated the influence of a mineral admixture i.e. nano wollastonite on corrosion performance and serviceability of reinforced concrete structures by performing an accelerated corrosion test on ten reinforced concrete beams under a sustained load. To do so,...

We deal with a one-dimensional coupled system of semi-linear reaction-diffusion equations in two a priori unknown moving phases driven by a non-local kinetic condition. The PDEs system models the penetration of gaseous CO2 in unsaturated cement-based porous materials (concrete). The main issue is that CO2 diffusion and fast reaction with Ca(OH)2 in concrete lead to a sudden drop of alkalinity n...
متن کاملPrediction of Service Life in Concrete Structures based on Diffusion Model in a Marine Environment using Mesh Free, FEM and FDM Approaches
Chloride-induced corrosion is a key factor in the premature corrosion of concrete structures exposed to a marine environment. Fick's second law of diffusion is the dominant equation to model diffusion of chloride ions. This equation is traditionally solved by Finite Element Method (FEM) and Finite Difference Method (FDM). Although these methods are robust and efficient, they may face some numer...
