Stress corrosion cracking of 316 L stainless steel in simulated Arabian gulf seawater

Abstract Austenitic stainless steels are widely used in coastal and marine infrastructure for its corrosion resistance, yet failures associated with chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (SCC) continue to be reported. In this work, the SCC susceptibility of 316L austenitic s...

Accelerated carbonation of recycled concrete aggregates: Binding of CO2 and decalcification of calcium-silicate-hydrate

Recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) are a valuable resource for reuse as aggregates in concrete and asphalt. However, the porous mortar adhering to the original aggregates and microcracks both in the mortar and at the interfaces result in increased water absorption and reduced mec...
