<p>In Japan, many steel structures were constructed during the period of the high economic miracle, and they are now more than 50 years old and are aging. Corrosion has been confirmed at corners and the boundary of concrete-wrapped concrete in steel piers. It was found that corrosion damage at the corner of steel piers causes a decrease of seismic performance in our previous investigations that carried out seismic response analysis. Subsequently, in this study, the effect of corrosion damage at the near ground edge of steel bridge piers with a rectangular cross-section was investigated in detail on the buckling behaviour and seismic performance of structures. As a result, it is found that the buckling at the base causes a decrease in load bearing performance compared to the buckling in the entire panel. It is necessary to properly maintain to prevent buckling at the base caused by corrosion.</p>

An experimental study of drop formation in narrow horizontal microchannels with rectangular cross section and a height from 50 to 150 micrometers was performed. It is shown that in these channels there is a new flow regime when drops moving along the microchannel, which are vertical liquid bridges. Three mechanisms of the formation of such drops are distinguished: the formation directly near the liquid nozzle, the separation of droplets from the liquid moving along the side walls of the channel, and due to the destruction of strongly deformed drops and horizontal liquid bridges. It was found that the deformation of drops increases with an increase in the Weber number. It is shown that when the first critical value of the Weber number is reached, the drops begin to deform, and when the second Weber number is reached, they break.
