Abstract
Summary. This article examines the effect of metal corrosion on the durability of transport structures. The operational condition of transport structures is determined by their ability to withstand working loads and environmental factors over their design life. Corrosion of elements can significantly affect the characteristics of the structure, leading to a reduction in its strength and resistance to loads. In particular, corroded elements can lose their structural properties, contributing to the appearance of cracks, deformations, and other defects. Such defects deteriorate the serviceability of the structure, increase the risk of accidents, and reduce the overall level of safety. This article presents the results of an experimental study on the effect of corrosion inhibitors on the crack resistance of transport structures. The study was carried out using modern inhibitors that have demonstrated their effectiveness under various operating conditions. From the data obtained, it can be concluded that the use of corrosion inhibitors can significantly extend the service life of transport structures. The method used to experimentally study the effect of corrosion inhibitors was the acoustic emission method. This method allows for the recording and analysis of acoustic waves in the material of the structure as they change due to scattering from cracking or corrosion. The use of the acoustic emission method provides accurate data on the development of corrosion processes and the effectiveness of the applied inhibitors. The results obtained have important practical implications for ensuring the safety and reliability of transport structures, as well as for reducing maintenance and repair costs. Maintaining the proper operational condition of transport structures is crucial for ensuring their functionality and safety, especially under conditions of intensive use and aggressive environmental impact. Keywords: transport structures, durability, crack resistance, corrosion, corrosion inhibitors, acoustic emission
