Chloride-induced corrosion is the main threat for structures located in the Arabian Gulf coastal areas. So, it is important predict its initiation time to evaluate the performance of structures.In this paper, a prediction model is proposed for this purpose to be applied in the Arabian Gulf coastal areas. The model is solved numerically by the Finite Element Method, and verified by application on an existing building in the United Arab Emirates. The proposed modelis found to be well predict the chloride penetration in concrete and can be used for the durability design of new structures or the assessment of existing structures. Also, it is found that assuming the surface chloride concentration at interior elements in the structures to be half of that at the exterior elements is a good approximation when predicting its initiation time.
