Regular inspections of important civil infrastructures are mandatory to ensure structural safety and reliability. Until today, these inspections are primarily conducted manually, which has several deficiencies. In context of prestressed concrete structur...

Acoustic emission monitoring (AEM) has emerged as an effective technique for detecting wire breaks resulting from, e.g., stress corrosion cracking, and its application on prestressed concrete bridges is increasing. The success of this monitoring measure ...

We address here an important issue related to sensitization effects in Al5083 by mitigating the grain boundary precipitation of the beta phase and demonstrate that the addition of a small amount of boron to Al5083 impedes the precipitation of the beta ph...

This paper explores the roles of empiricism and determinism in science and concludes that the intellectual exercise that we call ?science? is best described as the transition from empiricism (i.e., observation) to determinism, which is the philosophy tha...

In this paper, time/frequency domain data processing was proposed to analyse the EN signal recorded during stress corrosion cracking on precipitation-hardening martensitic stainless steel in a chloride environment. Continuous Wavelet Transform, albeit wi...

The alkali?aggregate reactivity (AAR) of concrete, long known for mass concrete, can also induce corrosion of steel in reinforced concrete structures. Several examples are given for which the origin of observed reinforcement corrosion and loss of concret...

Hydrogen, due to corrosion processes, can degrade high strength steels (HSS) through embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking mechanisms. Scanning Kelvin probe (SKP) mapping of surface potential was applied, to visualize the locations with an increase...

The radiolysis of water is a significant cause of corrosion damage in the primary heat transport systems (PHTSs) of water-cooled, fission nuclear power reactors (BWRs, PWRs, and CANDUs) and is projected to be a significant factor in the evolution of corr...

Low-alloy reactor pressure vessel steels have a rather low susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in a boiling water reactor (BWR) environment if the high-temperature water contains no anionic impurities. Recent investigations revealed that un...

Textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) has many advantages, including corrosion resistance, but TRC is a novel composite material and there is limited experimental research on the flexural behavior of TRC members. This paper aims to experimentally evaluate th...
