Reinforced concrete potable water structures are at higher risk for corrosion because of constant exposure to moisture. They are also limited on protection methods, because it is important not to ...

A significant fraction of the bridges and dams made of steel reinforced concrete in the U.S. are structurally deficient, largely due to the corrosion of the steel. To avoid hazards, monitoring the ...

Four concrete cooling towers at a coal-fired electrical generation plant exhibited reinforcing steel corrosion that was causing concrete deterioration. This case study follows the repairs to those ...

Using numerical modeling, an Italian research team has discovered the role 'macrocells' play in the corrosion of hollow submerged marine concrete structures such as tunnels and parking structures.

Microbially induced corrosion (MIC) is a prevalent issue in marine environments, leading to structural damages such as cracking in concrete infrastructure. This corrosion poses a persistent challenge, ...

To take part in the Machine Design infrastructure survey, click here. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are using a novel form of x-rays to detect corrosion, the ...

A noninvasive 'spectral fingerprint' technique using terahertz waves has been developed that reveals the corrosion of concrete-encased steel before it can cause any significant degradation of the ...

That means reinforced concrete bridges, parking garages, and buildings could be in for a wild ride on the “roller coaster” of ...

Caltrans is investigating possible corrosion in the Bay Bridge’s Yerba Buena Island tunnel after a chunk of the concrete wall tumbled into the roadway and narrowly missed hitting a motorist, officials ...
