Apparent diffusivity model for concrete containing supplementary cementitious materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Concrete’s resistance to chloride diffusion is one of the primary factors governing the concrete structure service life and life-cycle costs. This paper presents a new model developed for estimating the apparent concrete diffusivity based on the mixture ...

Sulfur speciation in untreated and alkali treated ground-granulated blast furnace slag [PDF]

open access: yesScience of The Total Environment, 2017
Reduced sulfur species in ground-granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) play an important role in immobilizing radionuclide contaminants in caustic cement-GGBFS mixtures via reductive precipitation reaction. However, sulfur (S) speciation and its stability in GGBFS have not been clearly understood.
