Abstract Chloride‐induced corrosion is a main cause of deterioration in reinforced concrete (RC). The premature RC leads to unplanned repairs, hence elevating the direct and indirect costs infrastructure. current prescriptive durability design approach has proven be insufficient assuring exposed chlorides. objective this study an economical evaluation several prevention measures for chloride‐in...

Special wetting surfaces with superhydrophilicity or superhydrophobicity have attracted great interest because of their potential for practical applications. However, since the special wetting surface may be used in a severe environment, including polluted air and seawater, it is necessary to develop a durable special wetting surface with excellent corrosion-resistance. Here, we report a new st...

This paper describes an experimental study on calcium sulphate scaling and prevention by newly treated polyacrylamide in a laboratory model. In order to study the inhibiting capacity of the chemical used, experiments were performed in solutions involving treatment of synthetic sea water with different concentrations of the polymer. Polyacrylamide gave significantly lower precipitation rate comp...

Concerns over reducing CO2 emissions associated with the burning of fossil fuels in combination with an increase in worldwide energy demands is leading to increased development of renewable energies such as wind. The installation of offshore wind power structures (OWS) is one of the most promising approaches for the production of renewable energy. However, corrosion and fatigue damage in marine...
