Factors which Influence the Deterioration of Concrete in Dams and Measures for Prevention of Deterioration,

Abstract

Many phenomena that contribute to the deterioration of concrete in dams do so by mechanisms that induce internal expansion. That which expands may be a constituent of the cement, a constituent of the aggregate, or the contents of a pore or void in the concrete. These phenomena include: frost action, alkali-aggregate reaction, sulfate attack, and a variety of chemical reactions not involving alkalies or sulfates. (Author)
