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 ...

A silent but devastating threat is compromising the durability of wastewater infrastructure: microbially induced concrete corrosion (MICC). This complex process, driven by sulfur-oxidizing ...

Innovations in the use of specialized admixtures are giving builders a more sustainable concrete material for building ...

IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE BURIED INSIDE THE CONCRETE. AND ONCE THE REBAR LOSES THE PROTECTION, THE REBAR WILL JUST START ACCELERATING ITS CORROSION AT THE VERY, VERY HIGH RATE. WITH THAT, THAT MEANS ...

Concrete naturally absorbs CO 2 throughout its lifetime through a process called carbonation, also known as CO 2 uptake. While this process can contribute to the corrosion of reinforcing steel ...
