The wear of material in humid-tropical conditions
Wear, 1993Abstract Humidity and temperature have played an important role in the wear of materials in general and particularly cast iron and steel. In this paper we present experimental results on the wear of steel depending on a variety of humidities under various temperatures (this is part of the tribology programme in Vietnam). The experimental results also

Serviceability of Construction Materials Under Tropical Climate Effects
2016The key aspect discussed in this study is the serviceability of the construction materials namely concrete and steel under the tropical climate effects. The environmental effects such as the temperatures, chemicals from the rain, and particles brought by the wind can cause corrosion on the concrete surface and thus may affect a structure’s performance.
