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 …

Microbiologically induced concrete corrosion (in wastewater pipes) occurs mainly because
of the diffusion of aggressive solutions and in situ production of sulfuric acid by …

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 …

The objective of this research is to estimate the durability of low-calcium fly ash based
geopolymer mortar (FA-GPm) in comparison with sulphate resistant Portland cement mortars …

Samples of new and 70 year old pre-corroded OPC concrete were exposed for up to 48
months in 6 sewers throughout Australia. Corrosion losses at each site followed the bi-linear …

FOG deposits in sewer systems have recently been shown to be metallic salts of fatty acids.
However, the fate and transport of FOG deposit reactant constituents and the complex …

Abstract Development of rational mathematical models for prediction of the likely present
and future internal corrosion of reinforced concrete sewers requires understanding of the …

The presence of hardened and insoluble fats, oil, and grease (FOG) deposits in sewer lines
is a major cause of line blockages leading to sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). Despite the …

This study aims to evaluate the performance of low calcium fly ash based geopolymer (FA-
GPm) and alkali-activated slag based mortars (AASm) in an aggressive sewer environment …

Biogenic acid attack of concrete is prevalent in sewers, posing a serious durability concern
and financial burden. There are very limited number of field studies on durability of concrete …
