Acoustic emission (AE) technique is used for monitoring and evaluating the influence of corrosion on the structural behaviour of steel reinforced concrete (RC) beams under three-point flexure test. In this study, steel corrosion was accelerated by electro-chemical method utilising a direct current (DC) power supply and 5% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. The steel corrosion that was induced int...

Cracking of the concrete cover due to corrosion is defined as the serviceability limit state of reinforced concrete structures. This study evaluated the influence of a mineral admixture i.e. nano wollastonite on corrosion performance and serviceability of reinforced concrete structures by performing an accelerated corrosion test on ten reinforced concrete beams under a sustained load. To do so,...

The atmospheres in many cities along the coastal lines in the world have been rapidly changed to coastal-industrial atmosphere. Hence, it is vital to investigate the corrosion behavior of steel exposed to this kind of environment. In this present study, Electrochemical Impedance Spectrography (EIS) and film thickness measurement were applied to monitor the corrosion behavior of weathering steel...
