This publication contains papers presented at symposium Marine Corrosion in Tropical Environments in November of 2000. The symposium was sponsored by ASTM Committee G01 on Corrosion of Metals, in cooperation with NACE International and the University of Mayab, Merida, Yucatan, Mexico.
This STP is organized under the general topics of atmospheric corrosion; concrete deterioration; cathodic protection, microbiological influenced corrosion, and seawater. These papers cover laboratory evaluation methods, test methods, and model prediction.
Topics addressed by papers in this publication include:
- marine atmospheric corrosion
- hydrated cement paste
- water-to-cement ratio, curing time, electrical conductivity
- time of wetness (TOW)
- moisture content
- structure durability
- electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)
- model for prediction of atmospheric corrosion
- chloride ingress
- permeability
- fiber reinforced mortar, natural and synthetic fibers
- corrosion control
- prestressed steel structures
- post-tensioned structures
- impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP)
- sacrificial anode cathodic protection (SACP)
- service life prediction
The papers in this STP are useful to engineers and technical professionals designing, building, and maintaining airports, marine terminals, power plants (hydroelectric, thermal, and nuclear), power distribution systems, water treatment plants and supply systems, highways, bridges, railroads, oil refineries, and chemical manufacturing facilities in marine and tropical locations.
