Damage modelling in concrete subject to sulfate attack by N. Cefis, C. Comi

“…In this paper, we consider the mechanical effect of the sulfate attack on concrete. The durability analysis of concrete structures in contact to external sulfate solutions requires the definition of a proper diffusion-reaction model, for the computation of the varying sulfate concentration and of the consequent ettringite formation, coupled to a mechanical model for the prediction of swelling and material degradation. …”

Analysis on the Factors Influencing Frost Resistance of Cement-stabilized Soil by LI Xuede, LIN Qingmei, PENG Xuhua, SU Yeping, ZHAO Yangjun

“…The frost resistance is an important index to evaluate the durability of stabilized soil structure,this paper analyzes the effects of soil moisture content and cement content on frost resistance of cement-stabilized soil.The results show that:the cement content has a significant influence on the frost resistance of cement-stabilized soil,and the frost resistance increases with increasing cement content;the soil moisture content has little effect on the frost resistance of cement-stabilized soil,and the frost resistance is the best with nearly optimum soil moisture content,which can provide basic parameters for improving the frost resistance of cement-stabilized soil.…”
