Wani, F.M. (author), Dong, J. (author), Polinder, H. (author)Recently, tidal stream turbines have become a preferable mode of harvesting tidal energy. The main issue for low utilization of tidal energy is the high levelized cost of energy (LCoE) from tidal stream turbines. A major reason for this is the high operation and maintenance costs for submerged installations. A possible way of minimizing the LCoE...book chapter 2020

Fagot, A. (anne.fagot@arcelormittal.com) (author), Schmitt, A. (author)Stray currents are known to promote corrosion of nearby metallic structures. Electrolysis is the responsible phenomenon. Where currents enter the metallic structure, the latter is protected. The construction corrodes at the location where currents exit through the ground to be collected by the substation. The extent of such corrosion has until...conference paper 2010

Veerman, R.P. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author)De-icing salts, used on roads in heavy winters, may enter reinforced concrete (RC) structures via its capillary pore system or via cracks, initiating reinforcement corrosion and reducing its remaining service-life. Vehicles passing real bridges exert a dynamic impact action that might activate a fatigue failure mechanism. In order to generate...conference paper 2014

Polder, R.B. (author), Leegwater, G. (author), Worm, D. (author), Courage, W. (author)Corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete structures causes concrete cracking, steel diameter reduction and eventually loss of safety. In infrastructure this is mainly due to penetration of chloride ions from de-icing or marine salts. Conventional repair means heavy, labour intensive and costly work and economic pressures (time and money) work...conference paper 2012

Yabuki, A. (author), Sakai, M. (author)A self-healing corrosion protective coating was developed using TiO2 particles and casein as pH-sensitive organic agents that is also environmentally friendly materials. A film structured of TiO2 particles was formed on a substrate (magnesium alloy) by dip-coating followed by immersion in a casein solution. Casein was inserted and fixed in the...conference paper 2013

Veerman, R.P. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author)For understanding the actual state of durability of concrete structures, it is important to know its response due to external loading. This response mainly depends on the actual structural and material properties of the structure, while loaded. Mechanical and chemical degradation are the main mechanisms that may affect these properties with time...conference paper 2014

GevaudanE, Juan Pablo (author), Bernal, Susan A. (author)The aim of this study is to understand the corrosion mechanism of steel embedded in alkali-activated slag/metakaolin blended concretes via electrochemical testing after 407 days of exposure to a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, with an emphasis on characterising the material prior to the onset of corrosion. In order to accurately depict the material’s...conference paper 2021

Veerman, R.P. (author), van Breugel, K. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author)Chloride-induced corrosion is a point of big concern in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. To monitor the actual health and to predict the remaining service-life of structures, it is important to understand the structural behaviour and the failure mechanism of structures exposed to chlorides under fatigue loading conditions. A beam test,...conference paper 2015

Veerman, R.P. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author)The remaining service life of concrete structures strongly depends on the corrosion level of the reinforcement bars. It explains that measuring the corrosion rate is a key issue in monitoring the structural health of concrete structures. A common and appropriate technique used to evaluate the instantaneous corrosion rate of steel reinforcement...conference paper 2014

Pacheco, Jose (author), Polder, R.B. (author)Chloride induced reinforcement corrosion is the most common degradation mechanisms for reinforced concrete structures. The service life of concrete structures is normally predicted by estimating the rate of chloride ingress and the necessary time to initiate reinforcement corrosion. Normally, chloride ingress is modeled as a diffusive process in...conference paper 2016

Pacheco Farias, J. (author)Reinforcement corrosion is frequently considered as the predominant degradation mechanism affecting reinforced concrete structures. Reinforced concrete structures are commonly subject to harsh environmental and loading conditions in which aggressive species can penetrate.
