- Additional information
- This paper is part of a portfolio of outputs from an interdisciplinary longitudinal (> 10 year) study into the deterioration of synthetic fibre re-enforced marine concrete. The study was the first to establish the penetration, attachment and growth of algal filaments deep within marine revetment concrete, alongside synthetic fibres, revealing the role of algae in degradation and leading to a novel holistic degradation model. In response to this work, the PhD candidate involved received a direct invitation to conduct Post-Doctoral work with Professor Shin-ichiro Suey on the degradation of synthetic fibres at the University of Fukui (Japan).
