Angst, Ueli M. (author), Rossi, Emanuele (author), Boschmann Käthler, Carolina (author), Mannes, David (author), Trtik, Pavel (author), Elsener, Bernhard (author), Zhou, Z. (author), Strobl, Markus (author)The steel–concrete interface (SCI) is known to play a major role in corrosion of steel in concrete, but a fundamental understanding is still lacking. One reason is that concrete’s opacity complicates the study of internal processes. Here, we report on the application of bimodal X-ray and neutron microtomography as in-situ imaging techniques...journal article 2024

Okonkwo, Bright O. (author), Jeong, Chaewon (author), Lee, Hyeon Bae (author), Jang, Changheui (author), Rahimi, E. (author), Davoodi, Ali (author)In this study, we developed and optimized a trivalent chromium coating electrodeposited on 304L stainless steel (SS) from a Cr-trivalent bath. The results reveal that the Cr coatings at all bath temperatures except for 80 °C showed clusters of polyhedral grains, however, the grain sizes decreased with an increase in bath temperature. Also,...journal article 2023

Huang, Y. (author), Qin, Guojin (author), Yang, M. (author)RBI, referring to a risk-based approach to inspection planning, is an established pipeline integrity management method. Both corrosion and dents are the primary threats to pipeline integrity. However, they are often treated separately in RBI without considering their interactions. This coupling may lead to a synergic effect on integrity...journal article 2023

Van Steen, C. (author), Van Beirendonck, T. (author), Vrijdaghs, R. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Verstrynge, E. (author)Bond deterioration is one of the major consequences of reinforcement corrosion in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. In this paper, a two-phased numerical modelling approach is presented that aims to determine the constitutive behaviour (bond–slip) at the reinforcement-concrete interface at a certain corrosion level. The novelty of the...journal article 2023

Alfaiate, J. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author), Costa, A. (author)Corrosion in reinforced concrete is an important feature which can lead to increased deformation and cracking, as well as to premature failure. In the present work, macro-mechanical modelling of corrosion is performed, namely the degradation of bond–slip between concrete and steel. A mixed-mode damage model is adopted, in which the...journal article 2023
