Service Life Prediction of Concretes Incorporated with Fly Ash and Alccofine with respect to Chloride Ion Penetration
Abstract: Chloride-induced corrosion poses a significant threat to the degradation of reinforced concrete structures, especially in extreme environments such as marine and industrial exposure conditions, where the damage can be particularly severe. This study provides an experimental investigation utilizing three distinct water-binder ratios (0.3, 0.4, and 0.5) applied to three types of concrete mixtures: conventional concrete, concrete blended with 40% fly ash, and concrete blended with 40% fly ash and 2% …

Service Life Prediction of Concretes Incorporated with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag and Icrete with respect to Chloride Ion Penetration
Abstract: The reduced service life of concrete structures in coastal or de-icing salt conditions is commonly attributed to corrosion generated by chloride. Therefore, extensive research is being conducted to estimate the time taken for threshold chloride ions to reach the reinforcement and break the protective layer, initiating the corrosive process. This study conducted an experimental investigation on controlled concrete, concrete incorporating 50% GGBS, and concrete incorporating both 50% GGBS and 2% …

pH-Responsive Smart Polymer Nanocomposites for Anti-Corrosive Coatings
Abstract: Metallic corrosion under adverse marine and industrial conditions imposes gigantic financial burdens and risks worldwide. Conventional waterproofing waterborne epoxy has passive barrier protection, but is also inherently microporous, lacking intrinsic repair ability against mechanical damage and thus rapidly decays. This is a critical gap that this work tries to bridge by designing a new pH-responsive hybrid polymer nanocomposite by using polyethyleneimine-tannic acid-cerium functionalized boron nitrate nanosheets with chitosan-capped mesoporous silica …
