Chloride Ingress in Cement Mortars Exposed to Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans Bacteria
Concrete structures placed in aggressive aqueous environments are vulnerable to degradation. Majority of studies have linked structural failures to the ingress of deleterious ions into the cement matrix. Some microbial activities may accelerate the penetration of harmful materials into the cement ma...
