Reinforced concrete is ubiquitous in infrastructure but vulnerable to steel corrosion induced by chloride ingress and carbonation. Electrochemical protection offers a proactive approach to arresting ...

An important aspect in the use of cathodic protection of reinforced concrete is the need for regular monitoring of performance and maintenance of the anode and electrical systems. This is to ensure ...

A 1998 EPRI study, released in October of 2001, estimated the cost of corrosion in 1998 to steam generating facilities alone at $5.37 billion. The study, EPRI Report 1004662, also concluded that 22 ...

Cathodic corrosion protection is a widely used technique for protecting steel-based infrastructure from corrosion. ETH researchers have now clarified the detailed mechanisms involved, thereby ...

Successful contractors understand the importance of adding value to their clients' projects. One of the best ways to do this is to offer additional services that provide a cost-effective benefit to ...

Reinforced concrete remains the backbone of modern infrastructure, yet the embedded steel is prone to corrosion once the alkaline environment is compromised by chloride ingress or carbon dioxide ...
