Important aspects of the mechanism of CO2 corrosion are covered together with significant advances in understanding corrosion inhibitor mechanism. Some gaps in […]

The sensor array arranged multiple sets of ring pairs along the flow direction, […]

Because of this temperature increase, traditional ferritic/martensitic and austenitic steels cannot survive. […]

This new method has allowed galvanic currents flowing among the multi-electrodes and the total metal loss simultaneously measured. On […]

Each of these techniques have inherent advantages and disadvantages which […]

Problems with grouting techniques and grout materials has resulted in grout voids, chloride contaminated grout, and segregated grout. Subsequently corrosion of the PT tendons can occur and some tendons […]

Guidelines may differ between manufacturers, specifications and supplier details, limiting the effectiveness of NDT techniques for evaluation of concrete structures. Coatings over concrete have […]

It was found that this material suffered accelerated oxidation and premature failure when exposed to chlorinated and chloraminated potable water. Given […]
