These results suggest that structural placement and design can significantly influence material degradation as a result of chloride exposure. The use of barriers such as noise walls can reduce corrosive aggressiveness by up to 90 %, depending on proximity and orientation. This has major implications for the design, material selection, and maintenance scheduling of infrastructure near salted roads. Furthermore, the results provide a strong argument for continued monitoring of chloride deposition in the vicinity of the roads using standardized methods such as the wet candle method or any other new technique for measuring chloride deposition. Expanding such measurements in di ff erent geographical and climatic zones could help develop a deeper understanding of atmospheric corrosivity. Future research should focus on long-term time series data and evaluate the cost-e ff ectiveness of protective strate gies. There is also the possibility of modeling the chloride ion deposition, which could be great future work, especially when the modeled data will be compared to the measured data in real words. This can contribute to prolonging the service life of building structures.
