Abstract
In recent times, hot-dip galvanized steel (HDGS) products have been utilized in several engineering construction projects including architecture and structural fabrication due to their excellent durability and appearance. The galvanized Zn layer on steel is designed as a sacrificial anode against corrosion but it eventually fails due to biofouling and chloride-induced degradation. This work is designed to study the extent of damage caused by sulphate
