DOI: 10.5004/dwt.2020.25355
Abstract: Saline water, or any chloride-rich fluid, can cause corrosion in steel-reinforced concrete substructures. Corrosion occurs when heavily reinforced foundations are subjected to an aggressive environment containing harmful salts. Coastal areas are considerably affected by the… read more here.
