Abstract: This paper deals with the macrocell and microcell corrosion of steel bars in cracked concrete exposed to a marine environment. For this, short-term accelerated laboratory and long-term exposure tests were carried out. Test ...

Abstract: Thermal embrittlement of some cast austenitic stainless steels (CASS) occurs at reactor operating temperatures leading to very low fracture toughness. Because of their low aged toughness with high variability, flaw evaluations ...

Abstract: In typical leak-before-break (LBB) analyses in the nuclear industry, the uncracked piping normal operating forces and moments are applied in a cracked-pipe analytical procedure to determine normal leakage, and the combined ...

Abstract: In flaw evaluation criteria, the design limits for the secondary stresses are frequently different than the primary stresses. The evaluation procedure for primary stresses is load-controlled based which is independent of ...

Abstract: A study on the influence of crack widths and type of bars (plain and deformed) on corrosion of steel bars in cracked concrete is presented here. Microcell and macrocell corrosions of plain and deformed steel bars were ...

Abstract: An extensive investigation was carried out for recycling of demolished brick aggregate concrete as coarse aggregate. For this, demolished concrete blocks were collected from 33 different building sites of different ages ...

Abstract: This study explores the efficacy of clay-burnt brick fines (CBBF) as an internal curing (IC) agent for high-strength concrete (HSC), focusing on its impact on mechanical and durability properties. Various parameters were ...
