Abstract

Concrete surface coatings, either organic or inorganic, have long been used for the protection of reinforced concrete. The aim of the present work was to compare, in the presence of chloride ions, the performance of an acrylic emulsion and an inorganic coating, when the latter is or is not combined with an inorganic corrosion inhibitor. The behaviour of the inorganic coating was examined, as its use is increasing due to environmental reasons and it can be applied on concrete surfaces for the rehabilitation of old structures. Strain gauge (SG) technique, half‐cell potential measurements, mass loss and carbonation depth measurements, as well as chloride diffusion rate, revealed that the acrylic emulsion provides better protection for reinforcing steel in concrete than the inorganic coating. However, the combination of the inorganic coating with the corrosion inhibitor provides a higher level of protection against steel bar corrosion.

Abstract

A number of applications selected with variations of factors affecting the corrosion of mortar steel reinforcements are discussed in this paper. Corrosion estimation by means of a strain gauge (SG) technique was used in several cases to confirm the validity of the method. The efficiency of corrosion inhibitors, the protection offered by the addition of minerals, the curing time influence, and the corrosion resistance of various steel types can be estimated by means of the short term SG test technique. Good correlations were found in all cases of application between the corrosion rates computed from SG technique and the mass loss data. Additionally, the method was applied for swelling measurements of mortar specimens caused by the degradation of FRP reinforcements in the corrosive environments.

Abstract

A brief presentation of a laboratory technique with strain gauges (SG) detecting steel rebars corrosion in mortar specimens is given. The comparison of the application results obtained in specimens containing corrosion inhibitors is discussed in this paper. The present technique is based on the phenomena of tension state, in which the mortar mass comes near the rebar area, during the formation of corrosion products. SG embedded in reinforcing mortar specimens during casting monitor the internal stresses. Mortar specimens with admixtures and corrosion inhibitors, immersed in a 3.5 percent wt NaCl solution, were tested under impressed potential. Corrosion measurements through SG were correlated with those obtained from charge resistant transfer and compared with mass loss of the rebars. The test results obtained indicate that the SG technique, directly related to corrosion products, is suitable for the laboratory study of the influence of corrosion inhibitors in steel protection.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to examine the factors that influence the increase in purchase intention toward green batik products with religiosity as an intervening variable.

Design/methodology/approach

The study used a survey method that involved a sample size of 185 participants selected through purposive and accidental sampling techniques. The analysis was conducted by using IBM SPSS AMOS 21 software. The collected data were subjected to path analysis using multiple linear regression models.

Findings

The result indicated that religiosity plays a mediating role in the association between factors and the intention to purchase green product (GPd) of the Indonesian natural dye batik product. This finding is in accordance with the construction of theory of planned behavior in understanding consumer purchase intentions. GPd, green brand and green price exhibited a positive correlation with green purchase intention (GPI). Interestingly, the price was found to no longer serve as the primary factor in GPI.

Research limitations/implications

The analysis would have been more compelling if it had used a mixed-method approach by introducing the variables of customer satisfaction and promotion.

Practical implications

This research postulates that increased prices are no longer a deterrent to the purchase of GPd. Instead, consumer consciousness regarding GPd plays a pivotal role in driving GPI. GPd have revolutionized individuals’ consumption patterns to contribute to environmental preservation. The use of green batik products is seen as advantageous in helping mitigate environmental degradation.

Originality/value

The present research assesses the impact of religiosity, as an intervening variable, on the augmentation of GPI by gauging its significance in enhancing ecological consciousness and moral values.
