Corrosion of steel in the marine splash-zone.
The effect of the marine splash-zone on corrosion rates of steels BS 4360 43A and 50D, Corten A and pure iron was assessed. Specimens were exposed at coastal and deep water sites as well as being subjected to splash-zone simulation in the laboratory. Gravimetric, microscopic and a variety of …

Feasibility Study Of Evaluating Durability Of Cfrp-strengthened Beams Using In-situ Load Test
… was retrofitted with CFRP at the girders in the splash-zone and thus was subjected to severe environmental conditions, is a feasible technique to evaluate the actual condition of the CFRP. A 3-dimensional Finite Element Model (FEM) was utilized to assess the load-deflection behavior of the …

A physiological comparison of isopods in the transition from a marine to a terrestrial habitat : with notes on their morphology and behavior
… low tides. Ligia occidentalis is found in the splash zone, receiving spray from the action of the surf. This illustrates another, higher, level in the transition. Alloniscus perconvexus was the fourth species studied. It is commonly found burrowed in the sand in the area of the berm, which is …

Effect of oxygen availability on the corrosion rate of reinforced concrete in marine exposure zones: inference from site and lab studies
… of potential steel corrosion. The three exposure zones, namely i) structures exposed to airborne salts but not in direct contact with sea water, ii) submerged structures, and iii) structures in the tidal, splash and spray zones are given here in order of increasing assumed probability of …

Benthic Community Structure Response to Flow Dynamics in Tropical Island and Temperate Continental Streams
… introduced taxa densities, with the amphibious splash zone home to significantly more endemic taxa compared to riffles. Non-native taxa were dominant (> 95% by density) and ubiquitous in riffle habitats. Our findings contribute to ongoing water management and restoration efforts focused on the …

Behaviour of massive reinforced concrete sections in seawater
… the long-assumed apparent worst case of tidal or splash zone exposure. Around 350 specimens were tested with a further 200 exposed for further testing by future research groups. Specimens ranged in size from standard cubes to various beam lengths up to 1.5 metres, allowing for material and …
