Mitigation of sulphate-reducing bacteria attack on the corrosion of 20SiMn steel rebar in sulphoaluminate concrete using organic silicon quaternary ammonium salt

This research was carried out to evaluate the effect of sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) on the corrosion of reinforced concrete (RC) using sulphoaluminate cement and also to proffer mitigation measure for reducing the adverse effect of SRB by adopting organic silicon quaternary ammonium salt (OSA) as a bacteriostatic agent. Three different systems were employed for this study: RC with sterilized NaCl (CS), RC with sterilized NaCl and SRB...
