Popis: Steel reinforcement in marine concrete structures is vulnerable to chloride-induced corrosion, which compromises its structural integrity and durability. This study explores the combined effect of the alloying element Cr and the smart corrosion inhibitor LDH-NO2 on enhancing the corrosion resistance of steel reinforcement. Employing a machine learning approach with a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm, a predictive model was developed to estimate the polarization resistance of steel, considering Cr content, LDH-NO2 dosage, environmental pH, and chloride concentration. The model was rigorously trained and validated, demonstrating high accuracy, with a correlation coefficient exceeding 0.85. The findings reveal that the addition of Cr and application of LDH-NO2 synergistically improve corrosion resistance, with the model providing actionable insights for selecting effective corrosion protection methods in diverse concrete environments.
