The long-term durability of sewage systems is an essential aspect of environmental
protection and the sanitary safety of society. Consequently, ensuring durability of sewer …

Antimicrobial alkali-activated slag (AAS) has been envisioned as a biologically resistant
binder for potential application in sewer structures against biogenic sulfuric acid attacks …

The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated the incorporation of self-disinfectant properties
into construction materials, particularly concrete, to mitigate the risks of pathogen …

Biogenic acid attack of concrete is prevalent in sewers, posing a serious durability concern
and financial burden. There are very limited number of field studies on durability of concrete …

The biodeterioration of concrete elements in sewer systems and their repair is of significant
economic and societal concern. However, the available test methods to assess the …

Copper-based antimicrobial admixtures have been favoured for mitigating microbially
induced concrete corrosion (MICC) owing to their practical bactericidal abilities. However …

Corrosion of concrete sewer pipes is one of the most serious problems in sewerage works
today. This paper describes a new procedure for testing two types of concrete, namely …

Belitic calcium sulfoaluminate (BCSA) cement is a hydraulic rapid-setting cement with a
different composition and properties compared to portland cement. There is currently limited …

This paper compares biogenic and chemical acid attack for assessing the final stage of
microbially induced corrosion of concrete (MICC). Paste specimens were exposed to either …

This paper presents a test procedure that has been developed to specifically aim at
assessing the performance of cementitious materials and antimicrobial additives during the …
