Influence of White Aluminum Dross on the Corrosion Resistance of Reinforcement Carbon Steel in Simulated Concrete Pore Solution

Influence of Starch Admixtures and Silver Colloids Stabilised with Starch Hydrolysates on the Course of Electrochemical Potential Difference of Reinforcing Steel in High-chloride Environment

“…The search for better protection of reinforcing steel to mitigate corrosion in reinforced concrete elements and study the mechanism of corrosion has been the subject of research by numerous scientists [4][5][6][7][8][9]. An example of this is the use of galvanised reinforcement bars by Loto [10] and Jasniok et al [11], Cr-modified reinforcing steel by Shi et al [12], or waterproofing membranes and epoxy coatings by Broomfield [13]. Loto and Okusanya [14], to eliminate the corrosion effect of reinforcement caused by the carbonisation of concrete, suggest the use of stainless steel in structures.…”

“…The scale of damage depends on the concentration of chlorides in a medium, e.g., in a seawater environment. Recently, attention has been drawn to the development of natural and environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitors, such as casein [16], white aluminium dross [10], red mud, fly ash [17][18][19][20] ground granulated blast furnace slag [21], cactus mucilage and brown seaweed extracts [22], or leaf extract of disporopsis pernyi [23]. Salami et al in their article [24] provided a critical review of the state of the art on corrosion studies performed on AAB (alkali-activated binders) with different precursor materials subjected to a chloride environment.…”

Inhibition effect of cow bone soot on low carbon steel corrosion in artificial concrete pore environment

“…Reinforced steel in concrete corrodes due to the alkaline nature of concrete pores leading to decreased lifespan of reinforced concrete [8,9]. Due to alteration of the chemical environment of reinforced concrete as a result of the partial replacement of the cement admixed, further study is required to understand the resulting effect of reinforce steel in concrete to corrosion [10]. Hence, this research focuses on the influence of cow bone soot on corrosion behaviour of mild steel in simulated concrete pore environment.…”

A Prototype of an Electromagnetic Induction Sensor for Non-Destructive Estimation of the Presence of Corrosive Chemicals Ensuing Concrete Corrosion

“…Concrete spalling and rebar (reinforcing bar) corrosion normally occur due to chemical or electrochemical reactions [14], which mainly affect the rebars embedded in the concrete. Normally, reinforced concrete is protected by the passive alkalinity of its cement matrix but, due to the ingress of aggressive environmental influences, steel reinforcements can corrode [3,15]. Therefore, it is important to study the rate at which water and chlorides penetrate a concrete structure’s protective cover layer to determine the remaining service life of an aging concrete infrastructure [11].…”
