Mechanical and durability performance of concretes ...
· Additionally, the Brazilian standard NBR 6118 requires a concrete cover of at least 50 mm for reinforced concrete systems in marine environments. All the concretes produced in this research presented chloride penetration depths smaller than onequarter of this specifiion, which is a good indior for the durability of these concretes.

XIII International Conference on Durability of Building Materials and Components. Preface . The ability to predict the service life — the durability — of a new building material is being ardently sought after in many parts of the world. Widespread efforts are correspondingly being made to increase the durability of materials already in wide use. Any estimate of the economic losses ...

Welcome to the Seventh International Conference on Durability of Concrete Structures (ICDCS 2022) which will be held in University of Jinan, Jinan City, Shandong, China, on Friday 20 Sunday 22, May, 2022. The International Conference on the Durability of Concrete Structures (ICDCS) series brings together leading experts in the field of concrete durability from around .
Concrete Durability Requirements Based on ACI31819
The durability requirement of concrete necessitates low water to cement ratio and addition of cementitious materials, for instance, silica fume, fly ash, and ground granulated blast furnace slag to decrease water penetration into the concrete. Table 5 presents different cementitious materials that can withstand sulfate attacks. Sometimes, exposure class of concrete dictates its .
About Cement Concrete
Concrete is a mixture of cement, water and aggregates ( sand and gravel, crushed stone or recycled concrete) and often includes small amounts of admixtures. The exact ratios and mix, and type of aggregate use depends on how the concrete is intended to be used. One of concretes key assets is its versatility which means concrete can be used in a variety of ways .

Durability Enhancement
Durability: • Air entrainment is recognized as the most effective prevention against concrete scaling in exposed environments. Air entrained concrete delivers particular benefits in the form of increased concrete durability. This is important in colder climates where frost and freezethaw cycles can cause scaling and damage to the concrete surface.
Review of the Effects of Supplementary Cementitious ...
· High strength concrete is designed using a low water:cement ratio, and the strength and durability of concrete can be further increased by proper external water curing. During external curing, a large amount of water is applied to the concrete surface; however, the internal concrete surface area may not be properly cured by traditional external curing. This can lead .
A Review Study on Different Properties of Hollow Concrete ...
concrete waste, to make a sustainable and profitable disposal alternative for the concrete waste. Attempts were made to utilize the concrete waste as crushed stones in the concrete mix to make hollow concrete blocks. Various percentages of crusted stones have been tried the amount ( 0%, 10%, 20%, 50% and ). From the results they found concrete waste can used to .
An Examination of Concrete Durability
Concrete durability is an issue of particular interest in concrete bridge structures and building exteriors, because of exposure to weather conditions, particularly wetting/drying cycles and freeze/thaw cycles, and exposure to harsh chemical environments, particularly the exposure to carbon compounds, acids, and deicing salts. Employing the model proposed by Paeglitis, the .
The Biological Approach To Enhance Durability In Concrete ...
· Concrete durability is the function of its internal pore structure, porosity and the permeation properties. Improved pore structure, reduced porosity and enhanced permeation properties lead to the durability of structures. The objective of the present paper is to discuss the biological approach to enhance durability in concrete structures. Research has shown .
Comparison of NonDestructive and Destructive Testing on ...
Concrete is the oldest and most important construction material in the world. Testing of the concrete specimen plays and important role to know about the strength, durability and condition of the structure. The work will present a detailed comparison between the destructive tests and nondestructive methods. This work focuses on comparing the ...
