Parameters Affecting the Resistance of Concrete to Aggressive Environments

Provides data on improvement of concrete resistance to aggressive media. Theoretical and practical researches on revealing the reasons of resistance of various concretes to aggressive media are carried out. Methods of increasing the strength of concrete on different binders are investigated. The influence of macro- and micropores on the resistance of concrete has been studied. It is established that concretes with slag or alkaline components show lower capillary porosity in comparison with materials based on Portland cement. This characteristic helps to reduce permeability and increase the stability of the material.
