The course on Corrosion Science & Corrosion Control for Infrastructure (CSC2I) is an interdisciplinary course, encompassing fundamental aspects of corrosion science & technology, corrosion control and materials science for civil engineering. The course targets material classes as metals & alloys, concrete, coatings & composites. Corrosion-induced degradation and corrosion protection for main infrastructure will be discussed, including steel structures, with an emphasis on reinforced concrete structures.

Scope:

• (electro)chemical kinetics &thermodynamics in corrosion and corrosion control for metals/alloys;
• corrosion science & control for civil structures; impressed current cathodic protection;
• synergy electrochemistry & concrete material science;
• “hands-on” practical sessions (lab & field techniques);
• workshops – demonstration equipment corrosion tests & electron microscopy for evaluation of corrosion products and steel/cement paste interface
