Critical chloride content for reinforced concrete and its relationship to concrete resistivity

The critical chloride content for initiation of reinforcement corrosion is an essential element in service life design and modelling of concrete structures.The critical content is laden with questions regarding its definition, experimental assessment and practical aspects. It should be addressed by a statistical approach. The paper discusses...

Prediction of wall-pressure fluctuations using the statistical approach to turbulence induced noise (Satin)

The noise prediction model SATIN (Statistical Approach to Turbulence /nduced Noise) is presented. SATIN assumes axial symmetric turbulence with the length scale ratio λ and the Reynolds stress ratio ξ as two anisotropy parameters. The model is based on Lighthill's acoustic analogy and allows to predict both the far-field noise radiation as well...
