The electrons produced during this process are conducted through the metal whilst the ions formed are transported via the pore water which acts as the electrolyte. Concrete as an Environment The ...

Reinforced concrete potable water structures are at higher risk for corrosion because of constant exposure to moisture. They are also limited on protection methods, because it is important not to ...

Nearly 40% of failure of concrete structures occurs due to corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement. For this reason, corrosion control of steel reinforcement is essential to prevent damage and ...

Researchers have developed an eco-friendly zero-cement concrete, which all but eliminates corrosion. Researchers from RMIT University have developed an eco-friendly zero-cement concrete, which all but ...

The cement used to construct concrete sewerage systems around the world does a mighty job of helping wash away our waste, but does have its shortcomings. Scientists in Australia have developed a new ...

Microbially induced corrosion (MIC) is a prevalent issue in marine environments, leading to structural damages such as cracking in concrete infrastructure. This corrosion poses a persistent challenge, ...

Corrosion remains one of the most prevalent challenges compromising the structural integrity and longevity of reinforced concrete. The deterioration process, which involves the gradual oxidation of ...

Recent research in Sweden and Finland shows how used concrete's lifespan can be extended another 50 to 100 years when incorporated into new construction. A team from KTH Royal Institute of Technology ...

Dissolved oxygen in pore solution is often a controlling factor determining the rate of the corrosion process of steel bars in concrete. This study reports on the corrosion resistance and polarization ...
