This study summarizes existing studies on plastic recycling to determine whether ocean
plastics with high pollution degrees could be used for cement-based materials. In particular …

Corrosion of steel reinforcement is one of the main deterioration phenomena which affect
the durability of reinforced concrete structures. Together with the structural damages …

For marine reinforced concrete (RC) structures, chloride initiated corrosion of reinforcement
is generally accepted as the service life limiting degradation mechanism. A methodology is …

This is an experimental study showing the effect of four types of polymers (acrylate polymer
(AC), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR), and ethylene-vinyl acetate …

Coatings play a crucial role in protecting ships and marine structures from corrosion and
extending their service life. The reliability of these coatings depends on their proper …

Corrosion is one of the major deterioration mechanisms of reinforced concrete structures.
The conventional patch repair without addressing the root cause of the corrosion can lead to …

Interfacial bond properties of six different epoxy resins used to coat submerged concrete
structures were investigated. Test variables included coating type, coating equipment, and …

This study focuses on two separate investigations of the main aging mechanisms: alkali–
silica reactivity (ASR) and the corrosion of reinforcing steel (rebar) concrete, both of which …

In this study, coating equipment for the effective underwater repair of submerged structures
was developed. The tensile bond characteristics of selected epoxy resin coatings were …

In this study, recycled waste fishing net (WFN) short fibers were proposed to be used as
short fiber reinforcements. The pullout resistance of WFN short fibers embedded in cement …
