Evaluation of the Behaviour of Continuously Galvanized Rebar
Ogunsanya, Ibrahim (University of Waterloo, 2016-09-28)De-icing/anti-icing salts used during the winter season are the major culprit in limiting the durability of reinforced concrete structures. The salts induce corrosion of rebar, by penetrating the concrete and breaking down ... -
Influence of alloying elements, testing solution and surface roughness on corrosion behaviour of stainless steel reinforcing bars
Ogunsanya, Ibrahim (University of Waterloo, 2020-01-10)The province of Ontario has moved from applying rock salt crystals, predominantly impure sodium chloride, to locally available anti-icing brine solutions with chloride amounts as high as 21%. At the same time, the specified ... -
The semiconductor properties of passive films and corrosion behavior of stainless steel reinforcing bars in simulated concrete pore solution
Ogunsanya, I.G.; Hansson, C.M. (Elsevier, 2019-06)The vulnerability of concrete reinforcing steels to corrosion when depassivation occurs, typically in the presence of chloride, makes it important to understand the nature of the steels’ passive films. In Part I of the ...
