Even though steel bar is a conventional reinforcement in soil stabilization systems, the problem of corrosion of steel may lead to vast damages especially in aggressive environments. In the past decades, Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials have offered an effective solution to overcome the corrosion problem. Despite numerous bond stress-displacement models for reinforcements in concrete, t...

Corrosion damage in civil, aeronautical, and mechanical systems poses significant risks to users and occupants while simultaneously burdening owners with costly repairs and maintenance. Although many different sensing technologies are available to monitor corrosion processes, many cannot be easily implemented in field environments due to requiring expensive data acquisition systems and their de...

Protective coating corrosion failure is a complicated process that involves various phenomena which are hard to test for separately. An adequately protected pipe can be in service for a relatively long time without exhibiting any signs of corrosion failure, and then all of a sudden it corrodes over a short period of time. Failure will definitely happen if the interface between the pipe surface ...
