Corrosion of steel reinforcement due to atmospheric pollution

Effect of Na3PO4 addition in mortar on steel reinforcement corrosion behavior in 3% NaCl solution

“…One of the worst problems is steel corrosion in reinforced concrete structures. It is considered to be one of the most frequent pathology of civil building engineering [3][4][5].…”

Fused empirical mode decomposition and wavelets for locating combined damage in a truss-type structure through vibration analysis

“…Several investigations to identify damage in these kinds of structures have been proposed; unfortunately, most of them deal with identifying just one damage or isolated damage. In real life, truss-type structures can be affected by several damage such as loosening of bolted connections (Mehrjoo et al, 2008;Yan et al, 2012), cracks Xiang and Liang, 2012), missing elements (Taha, 2010), reduced stiffness (RS) (Law et al, 2005;Lei et al, 2012), and corrosion (Batis and Rakanta, 2005;. Moreover, in a real structure, two or more types of damage can be present at the same time, and it has been shown that one kind of damaged condition can interfere with the detection of another kind of damage, leading to an incorrect assessment about the structure condition (Yan et al, 2012).…”

Corrosion Measurements in Reinforced Fly Ash Concrete Containing Steel Fibres Using Strain Gauge Technique

“…The well developed bond in corrugated steel showed lesser corrosion potential than plain steel due to effective bonding with concrete. It is also understood that the increase in corrosion thickness causes a reduction in the bond strength at the interface of concrete and steel [11][12][13]. Research studies in the past showed minimization of chloride transport and can lead to changes in the corrosion rate of steel in cement-based materials, such as concrete.…”
