  2. Alkali–silica reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali–silica_reaction

    The alkali–silica reaction (ASR), also commonly known as concrete cancer, [3] is a deleterious internal swelling reaction that occurs over time in concrete between the highly alkaline cement paste and the reactive amorphous (i.e., non-crystalline) silica found in many common aggregates, given sufficient moisture.

  3. Concrete degradation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_degradation

    Example of flat piece of concrete having dislodged with corroded rebar underneath, Welland River bridge across Queen Elizabeth Way in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The expansion of the corrosion products (iron oxides) of carbon steel reinforcement structures may induce internal mechanical stress (tensile stress) that cause the formation of cracks and disrupt the concrete structure.

  4. Concrete cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_cancer

    Alkali–silica reaction (ASR), also known as alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR), when reactive amorphous silica aggregates exposed to alkaline conditions (high pH) swell inside the concrete matrix leading to the development of a network of cracks. It may also refer to:

  5. Concrete sealer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_sealer

    Concrete sealers are applied to concrete to protect it from surface damage, corrosion, and staining. They either block the pores in the concrete to reduce absorption of water and salts or form an impermeable layer which prevents such materials from passing.

    Samples of "ground granulated blast furnace slag" (left) and "granulated blast furnace slag" (right) Ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS or GGBFS) is obtained by quenching molten iron slag (a by-product of iron and steel-making) from a blast furnace in water or steam, to produce a glassy, granular product that is then dried and ground into a fine powder.

  7. Reinforced concrete structures durability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_concrete...

    The initiation time is related to the rate at which carbonation propagates in the concrete cover thickness.Once that carbonation reaches the steel surface, altering the local pH value of the environment, the protective thin film of oxides on the steel surface becomes instable, and corrosion initiates involving an extended portion of the steel surface.

    Researchers have developed an inexpensive blood test that they say can detect pancreatic cancer — even in its early stages.. Using a small blood sample, researchers from Oregon Health & Science ...

  9. Alkali–aggregate reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali–aggregate_reaction

    Alkali–aggregate reaction is a term mainly referring to a reaction which occurs over time in concrete between the highly alkaline cement paste and non-crystalline silicon dioxide, which is found in many common aggregates. This reaction can cause the expansion of the altered aggregate, leading to spalling and loss of strength of concrete.
