The Evaluation of the Effect of Crystallization Additives on Long Term Durability of Cement Composites

Abstract:

The article deals with the influence of crystallization additives on the life of self-compacting concrete (so-called SCC concrete), which are exposed to chemically aggressive environments. The focus is not only on the effect of the crystallization additive on the characteristics of the capillary-pore structure of SCC concrete, but especially long life durability of self-compacting concrete (two years expozition). The effect of individual types of aggressive environment is assessed on the basis of a set of physico-mechanical and physico-chemical analyzes.
