In recent years, the use of fiber-reinforced polymer composites in civil infrastructure has been promoted as a solution to the deterioration of bridges, buildings, and other structures composed of traditional materials, such as steel, concrete, and wood. Any application of a polymer composite in an

The use of superplasticizers (SP) is widespread in today's concrete production. Usually, SP are used when specific demands in regard to workability, strength or durability have to be met. As they contain sodium sulphate, they have the potential to increase the alkalinity in the pore solution and the
This paper investigates the limitation of oxygen diffusion under high relative humidity condition in comparison to submerged, alternate wetting-drying and air dry conditions and its influence on the corrosion rate of steel by blocking the pores of concrete with moisture and reducing the connectivity
Pore solution study has been carried out on 2.43 and 14% C3A hardened cement pastes. Data have been analyzed in conjunction with the data developed in two pore solution studies made by Page and Vennesland and Diamond using 7.37 and 9.1% C3A mature cement pastes. The results show that C3A and alkali
Steel reinforcement electrodes embedded in different matrices of concrete were exposed to simulated marine splash zone exposure for about 600 days (1200 cycles) after initial curing in air for 14 days. The corrosion potentials and polarisation resistance were monitored at regular intervals to determ
