Biogenic corrosion of concrete in wastewater systems is a severe and widespread global
problem, costing billions of dollars in annual maintenance and rehabilitation. Corrosion of …

Geothermal power plants are complex systems, where the interplay between different
metallic components transforms the enthalpy of hot brine in the form of electricity or usable …

Cementitious materials are alkaline in nature. As a result, they are prone to neutralisation
reaction by acids and possible deterioration. Among the existing binders, the acid resistance …

Applied electric fields, the reason behind stray currents, accelerate the ingress of sulfate into
cementitious materials. To identify mitigation approaches, this study investigates the effects …

In this paper, the characterisation of iron ore tailings (IOT) was carried out to examine its use
as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) to produce coloured composite cements …

Corrosion factors including microbiologically induced corrosion accelerate cracking and
deteriorations in a sewer concrete pipe especially in regions close to the pipe crown and …

A spalling rate model is established to estimate the damage of concretes subject to the
combined action of leaching and external sulfate attack (ESA). Two sub-models are …

The present study investigates the potential of carbonation-cured belite-rich cement (BRC)
to resist magnesium sulfate (MgSO 4) and sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) environments. BRC …

External sulfate attack (ESA) and delayed ettringite formation (DEF) are well-known concrete
degradation phenomena induced by ettringite crystallization. This paper proposes a …

The sulfuric acid resistance of the composite cementitious system of ordinary Portland
cement (OPC)/calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement is presented in this paper. Specimens …
