Service Life Prediction of Precast Concrete Structures Exposed to Chloride Environment by Dawei Zhang, Yu Zeng, Mingshan Fang, Weiliang Jin

“…Chloride-induced corrosion is widely accepted as one of the primary causes of premature deterioration for concrete structures in marine or deicing salt environment. For precast concrete (PC) structures, such durability problems may even be severer because defects in joint areas, e.g., cracks caused by grout shrinkage and improper construction, can accelerate chloride ion transportation process and may cause the interface shear failure when subjected to seismic load. …”

Distinct bacterial community structures and arsenic biotransformation gene profiles in dust by Yi Yin, Yu-Ting Lin, Gong-Ren Hu, Rui-Lian Yu, Xiao-Hui Sun, Yu Yan

“…However, the distinct characteristics of bacterial community structures and ABG profiles in dust, compared with those in other environments such as soil and water, remain poorly understood.MethodsIn this study, dust samples were simultaneously collected alongside surrounding soil and seawater samples in Xiamen, a coastal city of China, to investigate the distinct profiles and potential sources of bacterial communities and ABGs in dust using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and metagenomic sequencing.Results and discussionAbundant and diverse bacterial communities and ABGs were detected in dust, revealing significant differences in community structures and ABG profiles compared with those in soil and seawater. …”
