Abstract:
Professor Carolyn Hansson’s remarkable journey began in England, during the turbulence of the Second World War. Despite the hardships of wartime and the limitations imposed by rationing, Carolyn was raised in a nurturing environment by parents who instilled in her a deep respect for learning and perseverance. These values would guide her through an exceptional academic and professional life. As the sole woman at the Royal School of Mines, Carolyn studied metallurgy at Imperial College, where she later earned her PhD, focusing on superconductivity and crystal structures at liquid helium temperatures. Her postdoctoral path led her from industrial research at Martin Marietta Laboratories to academic positions at Columbia University and the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and later to Bell Laboratories in 1976. Her pivotal shift into corrosion science began in 1980 at the Danish Corrosion Centre, where she worked on a new type of cement and corrosion of steel in concrete. From Denmark to Canada, Professor Hansson continued her research at Queen’s University and later at the University of Waterloo, building an enduring legacy in the field of steel corrosion in concrete structures. Over the decades, Carolyn’s contributions to corrosion research have shaped and guided generations of engineers and scientists. Her pioneering studies—on electrical resistivity of concrete, quantifying reinforcement corrosion rates, and understanding the complex role of chlorides—remain foundational in the field. Her investigations into corrosion inhibitors, electrochemical chloride extraction, effects of concrete cracking on reinforcement corrosion, and corrosion-resistant steels continue to influence global practices in infrastructure resilience. This Special Publication celebrates more than 60 years of Professor Hansson’s contributions as a scientist, educator, and mentor. The papers collected here, presented at the 2025 Spring Convention in Toronto, reflect not only the lasting relevance of her work but also its future promise. Her vision stands as both a mirror to the past and a beacon for innovations yet to come in corrosion-resistant construction. O. Burkan Isgor David Tepke Ceki Halmen Neal Berke

This article explores the evolution of Indonesia's concrete design codes, and how a foundation was built through decades of engagement with ACI standards. Through the Indonesian Society of Civil and Structural Engineers (HAKI) and ACI's shared commitment to excellence, a code born from colonial, Dutch origins evolved into a modern standard tailored to Indonesia's seismic realities.
