Overview
- nano-materials to affect both steel and concrete, targeting corrosion control and superior performance of reinforced concrete structures
- Targets dissemination of fundamentally substantiated mechanisms and verification of innovative applications, in view of bringing confidence for industrial utilization of novel solutions or practices in civil engineering
- Characterizes supplementary cementitious materials used for making concrete
- Details the properties of concrete and the components, essential for concrete manufacturing including Portland cement, calcium sulfate, fly ash, and cupola slag
- Explains the necessary treatments for the preparation of concrete during the manufacturing process
- Describes the major durability-related challenge for reinforced concrete structures i.e. chloride-induced steel corrosion, in view of sensors and sensor technology for early corrosion detection
- Defines stray-current induced corrosion and the consequences for both steel and concrete bulk matrix
- Illustrates the potential of hybrid
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About the editors
Dr. D.A. Koleva (female), assistant professor at Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Department Materials and Environment. Visiting professor at Curtin University of Technology, Perth, WA. She is a chemical engineer with a PhD from TU Delft in 2007, MSc in electrochemical engineering, expert in the field of electrochemistry and corrosion, cathodic protection with emphasis on reinforced concrete structures. Dessi Koleva has performed a pioneering research on simultaneously evaluating electrochemical phenomena and cement based microstructural properties, related to corrosion and corrosion control in reinforced concrete. More recently this cross-border research involves the application of tailor-made nano-materials for corrosion control. Her expertise is in the fields of: Electrochemistry; Corrosion and Cathodic protection; Concrete & reinforced concrete durability; Nano-composite (galvanic) coatings; Nano-materials and self-healing in reinforced concrete structures.
