Penetrability, Corrosion Potential, and Electrical Resistivity of Bacterial Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Concrete is one of the most widely used materials in building structures; hence, improving its durability is important. Corrosive agents affecting concrete durability find their way into concrete through surface cracks and ... -
Low Environmental Impact Cement Produced Entirely from Industrial and Mining Waste
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Proper disposal of industrial waste, the need to conserve nonrenewable resources, and high CO2 emissions are the major environmental issues at the present time. A significant portion of emissions from portland cement ... -
Correlating the Chloride Diffusion Coefficient and Pore Structure of Cement-Based Materials Using Modified Noncontact Electrical Resistivity Measurement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The electrical resistivity of hardened cement-based materials was measured in this work by a modified noncontact electrical resistivity measurement (MN-CM). The resistivity was further processed to compute the chloride ... -
Relating the Formation Factor and Chloride Binding Parameters to the Apparent Chloride Diffusion Coefficient of Concrete
