Concrete, Durability, Chemical, Environment, Attack

The durability of concrete depends on its resistance to deterioration and the environment in which it is placed. The resistance of concrete to weathering, chemical attack, abrasion, frost and fire depends largely upon its quality and constituent material. It is generally accepted now that in designing structures the durability characteristics of the materials under consideration should be evaluated as carefully as other aspects such as mechanical properties and initial cost. A basic understanding of understanding causes of concrete deficiencies is essential to perform meaningful evaluation and successful repairs. As Concrete is more vulnerable to deterioration due to chemical or climatic attack, hence effect of aggressive chemical environment on different types of concrete is studied.
