        abstract = {This project focuses on an experimental investigation into the effects of wastewater exposure on the corrosion resistance of concrete structures, utilizing corrosion inhibitors and basalt fiber reinforcement. By examining how wastewater impacts concrete durability and integrating sustainable corrosion inhibitors, this research aims to enhance the longevity and performance of concrete structures in water management systems. Incorporating basalt fiber-reinforced concrete provides additional strength and resilience, aligning with a sustainable approach to smart water management by reducing resource consumption and minimizing environmental impact. The study thus contributes to advancing corrosion-resistant, durable infrastructure essential for efficient wastewater management.
Corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete structures is a critical issue affecting the durability and service life of infrastructure, especially in harsh environmental conditions. Concrete is susceptible to corrosion when exposed to chloride ions, carbon dioxide, moisture, and other aggressive agents, leading to structural deterioration, reduced load-bearing capacity, and increased maintenance costs. To address these challenges, researchers and engineers have been exploring innovative materials and techniques to enhance the corrosion resistance and longevity of concrete structures.},
