Concrete as a building material is susceptible to degradation by environmental threats such
as thermal diffusion, acid and sulphate infiltration, and chloride penetration. Hence, the …

Corrosion of steel reinforcement due to chloride attack remains a major reinforced concrete
durability concern. The problem is prevalent for concrete structures located within marine …

Concrete corrosion in wastewater pipelines is caused by biogenic sulfuric acid produced
locally by sulfur-oxidizing microorganisms. Concrete mixtures are commonly modified to …

To explore the feasibility of electric field to accelerate the degradation of large-sized
reinforced concrete (RC) members under chloride and sulfate attack, the degradation …

The dual attack of chloride and sulphate ions is accompanied by the dynamic competitive
interaction, yielding a non-negligible influence on their penetrations. Treating this interaction …

Long-term service of specimens with different water-cement ratios (0.45, 0.5, and 0.55) and
different slag dosages (0, 20%, and 50%) in sole sulphate and composite chloride-sulphate …

Reinforced concrete structures are susceptible to reduced service life owing to the erosion
caused by the of chlorine-containing, external environment and internal chloride. In this …

Manufactured sand has the potential in mitigating environmental risks caused by concrete
production using natural river sand, whist the performance of concrete can be effectively …

Electrochemical testing methods are adopted as non-destructive techniques to provide
insights into the evolution of steel-mortar interface undergoing stray current. The qualitative …

Calcined layered double hydroxide (CLDH) was used to modify sulfoaluminate cement
(SAC) mortar to develop a new sulfate-resistant barrier material. Through investigations into …
