Assessment and Service Life Prediction of Microbial Induced Corrosion of Concrete (MICC)

Creator:: Sahan, Feyza N.
Abstract:: Microbial-induced corrosion of concrete (MICC) is a multi-stage deterioration process caused by microbial activity in wastewater infrastructure. MICC is a worldwide issue due to the reduced service life of the wastewater infrastructure and the economic impact associated with increased maintenance and reconstruction costs. This thesis explores two critical aspect of...

Reactivity Testing of Waterglass and the Investigation into an Alternative Binder Enhanced with Cellulose Nanocrystals

Creator:: McAlexander, Melissa
Abstract:: Most of the concrete in the world is produced using hydraulic cement (ordinary portland cement, OPC) and siliceous or alumino-siliceous supplementary cementitious materials (SCM). Due to the shift in focus toward environmental sustainability within the construction industry, alkali-activated cementitious systems (AAC) have gained significant attention to reduce the carbon footprint...

Measuring and Correcting the Electrical Resistivity of Concrete Pore Solution in Fresh Mixtures

Creator:: Biever, Joseph H.
Abstract:: A vital aspect of concrete construction is quality assurance and control (QA/QC). Engineered structures must meet pre-determined and agreed-upon strength and durability requirements. Concrete falls into a specific category of infrastructure material because in most cases, these strength and durability requirements cannot be found until the material has at least...

Chloride Binding of Portland Limestone Cement containing Supplementary Cementitious Materials

Creator:: Then, Nathalene WY
Abstract:: Chloride binding in Portland limestone cements (PLC) can be attributed to the chemical reaction between chloride ions and carboaluminate phases to form Friedel’s salt and the physical interaction between chloride ions and calcium-silicate-hydrates (C-S-H). This thesis examines the chloride binding of mortar samples containing varying amounts of limestone, fly ash,...

Selective Laser Melting of Duplex Stainless Steel 2205: Microstructure, Mechanical Properties, and Corrosion Performance

Creator:: Nigon, Gregory N.
Abstract:: The aim of this work was to assess the viability of duplex stainless steel 2205 components built via selective laser melting for seawater applications. First, a comprehensive additive manufacturing assessment was done. The duplex stainless steel 2205 components were selectively laser melted from gas atomized powder (D90 <45m) using a...

Development of Practical Accelerated Testing Protocols for the Performance Evaluation of Concrete against Microbially Induced Corrosion of Concrete

Creator:: Erbektas, Ali Riza
Abstract:: Sustainable wastewater infrastructure systems are vital for civilizations to protect public health. Most of the structural elements of wastewater infrastructure are constructed using concrete owing to its versatility, low cost, and durability. Concrete structures that are exposed to wastewater can experience Microbially Induced Corrosion of Concrete (MICC), which is a...

Assessing durability of reinforced concrete and ductile iron

Creator:: Shields, Silas A.
Abstract:: The first goal of this master’s thesis was to investigate the linkage between a non-destructive testing method, surface resistivity, and premature concrete deterioration brought on by chloride ingress and or freeze-thaw cycling. The experimental method for this project consists of taking surface resistivity measurements of reinforced concrete slabs after they...

Evaluation of the Effect of Chloride Ingress and Freeze-Thaw Cycles on Electrical Resistivity of Reinforced Concrete

Creator:: Rodriguez Matiz, David Esteban
Abstract:: Performing bridge inspections can be a very daunting task for every department of transportation (DOT) in the country. Because the leading cause of deterioration in reinforced concrete bridge decks is corrosion of the steel reinforcement, the ability to detect the concentration of corrosion-causing chlorides in the concrete, using a non-destructive...

Electronic Properties of Passive Films on Carbon Steel Rebar in Simulated Concrete Pore Solutions

Creator:: Williamson, Jon W.
Abstract:: In the highly alkaline environment of concrete, carbon steel rebar is protected against corrosion by a passive oxide/oxyhydroxide film. Understanding the characteristics of this passive film, and how it depassivates, is the key for mitigating problems associated with steel corrosion in concrete. Although a large number of electrochemical and analytical...

Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Embedded Rebar, Cracks, Chloride Ingress and Corrosion on Electrical Resistivity Measurements of Reinforced Concrete

Creator:: Morales, Monica
Abstract:: The effects of steel reinforcement, chloride-induced corrosion initiation, cracking and delamination on the electrical resistivity measurements using the Wenner probe technique were studied experimentally on custom-designed reinforced concrete slabs. Investigation parameters included (1) probe configurations with respect to rebar mesh, (2) rebar density, (3) epoxy coating on the rebar, (4)...
