CHEMICAL RESISTANCE OF CONCRETE

The report discusses the effect on concrete of the more common acids, salts and other agents, and also the requirements necessary for its protection against chemical attack. The durability of concrete is detailed under the following headings; Effect of alkalis and acides, Sulphate resistance, Effect of chloride, Effect of sea-water, aggregates and, polymer concretes. The need for high quality concrete irrespective of the choice of materials and any protective measures is emphasized. /TRRL/
