Materials and Structures
Materials and Structures is a leading journal focused on research into construction materials and their performance in structures.
This Collection presents the Recommendations prepared by the RILEM Technical Committee 314-OCM (On-site corrosion condition assessment, monitoring and prediction). Our scope is to provide a comprehensive treatment of all available information for measuring the onsite corrosion condition in structural concrete and then, from this information and using existing models, incorporate the diagnosis and prediction of the evolution of damage and of the optimum time for intervention. The Collection is expected to update previous Rilem Recommendations on electrochemical techniques, chloride analysis and analyzing new information to make more comprehensive diagnostics related to corrosion level and service life.
Submission guidelines
All papers must be prepared in accordance with the Submission Guidelines. Articles for this Topical Collection should be submitted via our submission system, Editorial Manager. During the submission process you will be asked whether you are submitting to a Collection, please select "RILEM TC 314-OCM: ON-SITE CORROSION CONDITION ASSESSMENT, MONITORING AND PREDICTION (Invitation only)" from the dropdown menu.
Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to one of the topics of the Topical Collection. All papers will be evaluated on the basis of relevance, significance of contribution, technical quality, scholarship, and quality of presentation by at least two reviewers. It is the policy of the journal that no submission, or substantially overlapping submission, be published or be under review at another journal or conference at any time during the review process. Final decisions on all papers are made by the Editor-in-Chief.
