Durability of High-Performance Cement-Based Materials
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
There is considerable research now underway on high-performance cement-based materials, in particular on issues of processing, microstructure, strength, and related properties. However, very little research has been undertaken regarding the durability, or service performance, of these materials. Therefore the durability of high-performance cement-based materials can only be inferred from the service performance of ordinary materials or from a basic understanding of the factors affecting service performance. In this paper we review what is known about the durability of fiber reinforced concrete, high performance concrete, DSP, and MDF. Durability is discussed from the standpoint of general issues – fluid permeability, ionic diffusivity, and pore fluid composition. Much research is needed in order to predict or improve the durability of high performance cement-based materials.
