This paper reports an experimental work to investigate the pit corrosion of steel bars in chloride contaminated concrete. A total of 50 reinforcing steel bars with a length of 250 mm and a diameter of 14 mm were embedded in 10 concrete specimens, before they were subjected to accelerated corrosion. The geometric parameters of the corroded steel bars were then examined using 3D scanning method, before the characteristics of pitting corrosion of the corroded bars were analyzed accordingly. The results show that there is a weak correlation between the maximum pit depth and the mass loss rate. However, there is a strong correlation between the pitting factor and the mass loss rate. The relationship between the pitting factor and the mass loss rate has been developed as a reciprocal function.

To study the effect of sample width on flame spread characteristics, a series of laboratory-scale experiments were conducted employing eucalyptus wood with width from 3 to 7 cm. Flame dimension, flame spread rate and mass loss rate were obtained. The relationship between these flame spread characteristics and sample width was explored. Both the dimensionless average flame height and depth vary as the-n power of sample width. With the increase of sample width, both the flame spread rate and mass loss rate first decrease and then rise. The minimum values appear when sample width measures 6 cm.

An experimental study on downward flame spread over extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam at a high elevation is presented. The flame shape, flame height, mass loss rate and flame spread rate were measured. The influences of width and high altitude were investigated. The flame fronts are approximately horizontal. Both the intensity of flame pulsation and the average flame height increase with the rise of sample width. The flame spread rate first drops and then rises with an increase in width. The average flame height, mass loss rate and flame spread rate at the higher elevation is smaller than that at a low elevation, which demonstrates that the XPS fire risk at the higher elevation area is lower. The experimental results agree well with the theoretical analysis. This work is vital to the fire safety design of building energy conservation system.

The radio emission from supernovae provides a direct probe of a supernova’s circumstellar environment, which presumably was established by mass-loss episodes in the late stages of the progenitor’s presupernova evolution. The observed synchrotron emission is generated by the SN shock interacting with the relatively high-density circumstellar medium which has been fully ionized and heated by the initial UV/X-ray flash. The study of radio supernovae therefore provides many clues to and constraints on stellar evolution. We will present the recent results on several cases, including SN 1980K, whose recent abrupt decline provides us with a stringent constraint on the progenitor’s initial mass; SN 1993J, for which the profile of the wind matter supports the picture of the progenitor’s evolution in an interacting binary system; and SN 1979C, where a clear change in presupernova mass-loss rate occurred about 104 years before explosion. Other examples, such as SNe 19941 and 1996cb, will also be discussed.
