Abstract
Marine structures, often subjected to corrosive seawater and challenging environmental conditions, demand robust solutions for maintaining structural integrity while preserving transparency. This study investigates the efficacy of stainless-steel wire mesh reinforcement within clear cover layers of transparent reinforcement concrete (TRC) to enhance durability in marine environments. Experimental investigations are conducted to assess the performance of TRC covers with stainless steel wire mesh under various loading and environmental conditions. The study evaluates parameters such as corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and long-term durability to quantify the effectiveness of the proposed reinforcement technique. Results indicate that the incorporation of stainless steel wire mesh within the clear cover layer significantly improves the resistance of TRC to corrosion and mechanical damage. The wire mesh acts as a protective barrier, providing enhanced structural support while maintaining transparency. Furthermore, advanced monitoring techniques are employed to analyze the performance of the strengthened TRC covers over extended periods in simulated marine conditions. This research contributes valuable insights into the development of sustainable solutions for strengthening TRC covers in marine structures. By utilizing stainless steel wire mesh reinforcement, engineers can extend the service life of marine infrastructure, ensuring both structural reliability and aesthetic appeal in underwater environments.
