Abstract Cement-based materials (CBMs), such as paste, mortar and concrete, are highly
alkaline with an initial high pH of approximately 12.0 to 13.8. CBMs have a high pH due to …

If we are to monitor the chemical processes in cementitious materials, then pH assays in the
pore solutions of cement pastes, mortars, and concretes are of key importance. However …

The sulfide-induced corrosion of concrete sewer is a widespread and expensive problem for
water utilities worldwide. Fundamental knowledge of the initiation and propagation of sewer …

In this paper, the use of natural pozzolan as a partial cement substitute in concrete materials
is investigated. By means of a test series, four mixes using three types of natural pozzolan …

This work aims to evaluate the pore solution using the ex situ leaching method of a wide
variety of modified concretes with mineral additions, and submitted to a natural carbonation …

The writers have carried out an investigation to develop apparent pH profiles of concretes for
a variety of cement blends viz. normal portland cement containing by mass 30% pulverized …

Cross‐linking of superabsorbent hydrogels based on poly (acrylamide‐co‐sodium alginate)
is carried out using 60Co γ‐radiation. Hydrogels of PAM/NaAlg with 1.5: 0.5 and 1.0: 1.0 w/v …

Healthy reinforced concrete should be highly alkaline to safeguard the passive protective
film for reinforcement of steel bars against corrosion. pH measurement is gaining importance …

The presence of chloride ions is one of the primary factors causing the degradation of
reinforced concrete structures. An investigation to monitor ingress of chlorides during a 24 …

Screeds are construction materials used to correct surface defects and to bevel floors. It is
intended to prevent a variety of problems in conventional cementitious screed with a new …
