Summary: Ethylene diamine-N,N'-disuccinate (EDDS) is successfully intercalated into layered double hydroxide (LDH) sheets, resulting in the hybrid assembly [Zn2Al(OH)6]+ [EDDS]4-0.25 2H2O (LDH-EDDS4-). The presence of functionalized LDH-EDDS4- significantly decreases the surface reactivity of carbon steel in a neutral and aerated sodium chloride solution. The synergy effect between Zn2+ cations and EDDS4- anions is highlighted, and SEM and visual observations confirm the efficiency of hybrid LDH-EDDS4- in protecting the carbon steel surface from corrosion.

Summary: D-phenylalanine has been shown to prevent localized corrosion on Q235 carbon steel by inhibiting biofilm formation and altering biofilm structure when lactate is the main electron donor. When lactate and yeast extract are removed, D-Phe significantly reduces overall corrosion loss, likely due to its involvement in the Stickland reaction involving L-cysteine and bacteria-transformed L-phenylalanine.

Summary: The inhibitory effect of petroleum ether (CSOP) and cyclohexan (CSOC) extracted from Citrullus colocynthis seed oil on mild steel (MD) corrosion in 1 M HCl solutions was investigated. The concentration of CSOP and CSOC inhibitors was found to significantly affect their inhibitory efficiency, with the maximum efficiency reaching 95.8% and 97.4% at 1.5 g/L, respectively. Both inhibitors acted as mixed type inhibitors, and their corrosion process was charge transfer controlled. Morphological analysis using SEM and EDX revealed the surface characteristics of the metal specimens with and without inhibitors. The DFT method and Fukui indices were used to predict the adsorption mechanism of CSOC and CSOP compounds on the mild steel surface.

Summary: Studies have shown that the introduction of GO and MOF nanofillers into epoxy resin significantly improves its mechanical, thermal, anti-corrosion, and flame-retardant properties. Modifications of GO via MOFs can help avoid negative effects and enhance positive effects of the nanofillers. Introduction of GO-MOF nanohybrids can greatly improve the flame-retardant properties of epoxy resin, as well as enhance its anti-corrosion stability and adhesion strength.

Summary: This study analyzes the erosion mechanisms of NaCl solution on asphalt concrete and finds that NaCl solution softens asphalt and promotes the intrusion of crystalline salt into it. Salt crystallization alters the surface roughness of aggregates, resulting in a decrease in skid resistance but an improvement in compressive strength. Additionally, the concentration of NaCl solution initially has no significant impact on the mechanical performance of asphalt concrete, but its domination gradually increases with the intensification of cyclic effects.

Summary: This paper investigates the effect of freezing and thawing cycles on the tensile behavior of cracked ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). The results show that long-term freezing and thawing action deteriorates the cracking strength, tensile strength, tensile strain, and strain energy of cracked UHPC. On the other hand, the action of water generally favors the development of tensile properties of UHPC. The crack distribution tends to be unsaturated under freezing and thawing environment, and the re-hydration reaction is hindered. The pore structure near the crack varies under different environments.

Summary: Tailings dam break and leakage accidents pose a threat to the safety of people in mining areas and cause severe environmental pollution. This study focuses on solidifying tailing sand using microbial induced calcite precipitation (MICP) to improve strength and fix heavy metals. The curing time of MICP bio-cemented tailings is found to significantly impact the strength of tailings, while its effect on heavy metal fixation is minimal. The optimized MICP curing time is 10 days, resulting in improved strength and cementation of tailings particles.

Summary: This study investigates the fatigue behavior of concrete under different stress reversal conditions. The results indicate that stress reversal generally causes more severe damage and reduces the cycles to failure compared to tensile fatigue. Additionally, adding some level of compression contributes to the energy required for failure under stress reversal fatigue.
