Abstract: The phase structure and corrosion resistance of uncoated, pure enamel-, double-enamel- and triple-enamel-coated hot-rolled plain steel bars were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), laser microscopic Raman spectroscopy, ...

Abstract: Effect of corrosion on the mechanical degradation of high-strength bolted steel connection is experimentally investigated in this study. Eleven high-strength bolt joints were fabricated and nine of them were subjected to ...

Abstract: An iron–carbon electroplated long period grating (LPG) fiber sensor to monitor the passivation, initiation, and propagation of the pitting corrosion of steel bars is characterized in simulated concrete pore solutions. An ...

Abstract: Welded joints and surrounded material discontinuity zones in metallic infrastructures are highly vulnerable to severe corrosion-induced damage, which significantly shortens the service life and leads to enormous economic ...

Abstract: Both the corrosion resistance and bond strength of silica particle-modified enamel (SPME)-coated steel bars are experimentally investigated, and uncoated and pure enamel (PE)-coated bars are also prepared for comparison. ...

Abstract: Enamel coating is a novel type of coating for the corrosion protection of reinforcement in concrete. Recently, improved enamel coating was achieved using low-temperature sintering. This study aims to investigate the effect ...

Abstract: In this study, the pressure-displacement equilibrium path and the elastic buckling pressure were formulated analytically for a thin-walled circular liner encased in a partially grouted pipeline–liner system. Numerical ...

Abstract: In this study, a smart rock, which is a magnet embedded in a concrete ball and whose direction is always pointing downwards, is proposed to monitor bridge scour depth. Based on the theory of magnetic field, the distribution ...
