Abstract: This 3rd RILEM Workshop on the processes involved in the transport of chloride ions
through concrete has highlighted the still prevailing distance from present knowledge to
the attempts to predict the time to depassivation of steel reinforcement in real reinforced
concrete structures exposed to service conditions containing chloride ions. The more
experimental results are published the clearer the huge task appears of what an analytical
modelling of the chloride transport into concrete represents.
The workshop was focused on in-depth discussions around six main lectures summarizing
the state of the art. The lectures and the oral contributions enabled the participants to reach
conclusions stimulating new research and new empirical ways to provide assistance and
solutions to engineers designing new structures and assessing existing ones. (,,,)
