Influence of sampling and methodology for obtaining concrete dust in order to determine chloride concentration profile

To assess the risk of corrosion of reinforcement steel in concrete structures expose to marine or deicing salt environments is required to determine the chloride concentration profile in concrete from the exposed surface inwards.

Polymer action on the alkali-silica reaction

The alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in concrete progressively transforms silica minerals into an alkali-silica gel with hygroscopic properties, which can expand significantly due to hydration and crack both aggregate and surrounding cement paste. Due to the extent and severity of ASR-related durability problems in concrete structures, continuous improvement of existing preventive solutions and development of novel approaches are required.
