Partial replacement of Portland cement by supplementary cementitious materials results in
decreased concentration of calcium hydroxide, leading to a reduction in the pH of the pore …

Concrete based on portland cement normally provides embedded steel with a high degree
of protection against corrosion. This is partly due to an active electrochemical effect of …

Corrosion of steel in Portland cement concrete occurs whenever the external influences
change the composition of the pore solution. Steel is passive in the highly alkaline …

Under field conditions, steel is embedded in concrete for a long period of time before
chlorides penetrate. In studying the corrosion behaviour of steel in concrete, mortar or in …

The corrosion of embedded reinforcement has been measured in two series of concrete
samples made with and without condensed silica fume (CSF) as a partial replacement for …

Most research on chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcing steel is conducted either in
simulated pore solution or concrete. The former has the disadvantage that the experiments …

The aim of this investigation was to examine the role of internal chloride on the corrosion
behaviour of steel in ordinary Portland cement (OPC), and sulphate resistant Portland …

The effectiveness of four commercially available corrosion inhibitors for use in cement-
based materials was assessed in synthetic concrete pore solution containing chlorides. The …

In order to assess risk of corrosion due to high silica fume or fly ash content, hardened
cement paste and concrete tests were performed at the Institute for Building Materials …

The pore solution compositions of paste samples produced with Ordinary Portland Cement
(PC), slag 25%, 50% and 75%, fly ash 30%, condensed silica fume (SF) 7%, and a ternary …
