Sulphate attack is a chemical reaction between sulphate ions and components of concrete, leading to the deterioration of the material. It primarily affects the durability and structural integrity of concrete structures, often resulting in expansion, cracking, and loss of strength.
Concept
Calcium silicates are a group of chemical compounds that play a crucial role in the construction industry, primarily used in the production of cement and concrete due to their ability to harden and bind materials together. These compounds are formed through the reaction of calcium oxide with silica at high temperatures, resulting in materials with excellent durability and strength.
