It has been recognized that corrosion of steel in cracked concrete is affected by both the
surface crack width and the concrete cover thickness. The crack width/cover ratio (Wcr/C) …

An investigation is reported on the influence of exposure temperature on the chloride
diffusion properties of 7 widely used surface treatment systems for concrete. The variation in …

A statistical treatment has been applied to a deterministic service life model of concrete
structures in marine environments. The chloride ingress model based on Fick's second law …

Ordinary portland cement (OPC) has been traditionally used in the construction of concrete
silos in Ireland. However, the aggressive nature of the effluent produced by silage leads to …

Chloride ion diffusion rates in cementitious paste have been determined using a
modification to the “standard” two-compartment diffusion cell. Ordinary Portland cement …

Five grades of concrete were exposed in the atmosphere, tidal and submerged zones of a
tropical marine environment for times up to 80 weeks and the chloride ion ingress profiles …

Gradients of moisture content, hydrostatic pressure, stress, temperature, and concentration
of chemicals, disturb the state of equilibrium of fluids in a porous material,[1] therefore, the …

The hydraulic potential of ground granulated blastfurnace slag (ggbs) was first discovered
as long ago as 1862 in Germany by Emil Langen. In 1865 commercial production of lime …

The results are discussed of a study into the effect of exposure temperature on the coefficient
of chloride diffusion (D) of concrete, with PFA contents varying from 0 to 50%, strength from …

Two grades of concretes with and without fly ash and with and without CaCI, with total.
cementitious contents of 250 and 350 kglm', were designed. The concretes were cast with 0 …
