Extensive studies have been conducted on seawater sea-sand concrete (SSSC) in recent
years due to the shortage of freshwater and river-sand in many coastal areas. This paper …

The recent modifications in the cement manufacturing technology and the extensive use of
mineral admixtures have introduced changes in the chemical and mineralogical composition …

In the present work, effect of inclusion of silica fume on the performance of natural pozzolan-
based cement concrete was investigated. Natural pozzolan, obtained from volcanic rocks …

Marine environments are typically aggressive to concrete structures, since sea water
contains high concentrations of chlorides and sulphates. To improve predictions of concrete …

This paper reports results of a study conducted to evaluate the durability of concrete coated
with concrete surface coatings representing five generic types. The durability of the …

The incorporation of conventional supplementary cementitious materials (eg fly ash) in
concrete generally induces a longer setting time and inferior early-age strength. This study …

Concrete deterioration due to sulfate attack is the second major durability problem, after
reinforcement corrosion. This type of deterioration is noted in the structures exposed to …

This paper presents a detailed experimental study on the sulfate attack of Portland cement
mortars, and the effectiveness of silica fume in controlling the damage arising from such …

State of rebar corrosion in concrete powder aqueous solution contaminated with chloride
and sulfate ions has been determined by conducting a potentiodynamic polarization test …

accepted May 9, 2000.[33] confirmed that the primary factor controlling the rate of corrosion
is the solubility of the calcium salt of the acid and not the acid strength. The results also …
