Utilisation of potentially alkali–silica reactive aggregates requires reliable performance tests
to evaluate the alkali–silica reactivity of various aggregate combinations, including their …

Acid resistance is an increasingly important property for cementitious materials due to the
wide range of applications where they are exposed to aggressive acidic environments …

This study evaluates the performance of pervious concrete subjected to rapid freeze–thaw
(FT) cycling, calcium leaching and the combined attack of calcium leaching and FT cycling …

Decalcification of calcium silicate hydrates (CSH) is one of the most important issues for
cement-based infrastructures concerning long-term safety performance. While enhanced …

The dry–wet cycle in cement mortar is essential for accelerating ion transport; however, it
results in an increase in severity of durability damage. Leaching damage is a primary …

In karst areas, groundwater has high concentrations of carbon dioxide. It causes
decalcification of cement-based materials by reacting with calcium hydroxide and calcium …

The calcium ion leaching behavior of cement pastes modified with a high-alkali fine glass
powder, silica fume, and fly ash, exposed to deionized water, is reported in this paper …

This paper offers an update of the current understanding of sulfate attack, with emphasis on
the sulfates present in an external water source percolating through, and potentially reacting …

Cement paste leaching and concomitant decalcification is a common cause of concrete
structure deterioration. Such alterations entail microstructural changes that condition …

Concrete is usually subjected to the environment with aggressive solutions where calcium
leaching happens continuously threatening the durability of concrete. A comprehensive …
