Chloride-induced corrosion of steel reinforcement is a major cause of durability degradation
for reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Chloride binding approach is recognized as one of …

Many countries are experiencing freshwater crises due to the increasing growth of the
population together with the infrastructure construction that is aligned with the needs of …

One of the most primary reasons for durability deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC)
structures is reinforcement corrosion caused by chloride ion invasion. However, there is still …

This paper investigates how the composition of Portland composite cements affects their
chloride-binding properties. Hydrated cement pastes prepared with a reference Portland …

Chloride profiles are used to select concrete compositions for new reinforced concrete
structures, evaluate the condition of existing structures, and to predict their remaining service …

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermodynamic
modelling have been used to obtain Friedel's salt profiles for saturated mortar cylinders …

The pore crystallization of ettringite (AFt) and the material expansion are investigated for
cement paste subject to external sulfate attack with and without chlorides. Specimens of 2 …

Chloride binding is investigated for Portland cement–metakaolin–limestone pastes exposed
to CaCl 2 and NaCl solutions. The phase assemblages and the amount of Friedel's salt are …

The durability of mortar and paste mixtures with respect to chloride ion ingress was
investigated for binary blends of Portland Cement Calcined Clay, and ternary systems of …

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures may suffer from serious durability problems during long-
term service. To investigate the deterioration of RC structures subjected to the dual attacks of …
