“…In previous studies [1][2][3][4][30][31][32], the influence of NaCl and CaCl 2 deicing salts on damage development in cementitious materials has been investigated. It was found that chemical reactions between the matrix and salt solution can result in the formation of additional phases that can cause severe damage in cementitious materials.…”

“…depends on multiple factors including the rheological, mechanical as well as durability characteristics of the used materials, in addition to exposure conditions and loading configurations. Such interrelated parameters may stimulate initiation and propagation of cracks in concrete, which directly affect its overall performance and longevity, especially in locations susceptible to deteriorations such as joints in pavements and bridges (Jones et al, 2013).…”

In this study, high performance nano-modified cementitious composites were developed. These composites incorporate 50% fly ash or slag (industrial by-products) replacement of the cement component, 6% nano-silica sol and a new type of basalt fiber strands encapsulated by polymeric resins termed as basalt fiber pellets. The fresh and mechanical properties were investigated for the developed composites with different dosages of basalt pellets (2.5%, 4.5% and 6.9% by volume). Generally, the slag based composites showed improved performance compared to the fly ash based composites. Although the compressive strength of the specimens was reduced with increasing the dosage of pellets, the flexural performance of the composites was significantly enhanced in terms of post-cracking behavior, residual strength and toughness. Composites comprising 4.5% and 6.9% pellets exhibited deflectionhardening behavior. Hence, they have a promising potential for many infrastructure applications.

Some concrete pavements in the US have recently exhibited premature joint deterioration. It is hypothesized that one component of this damage can be attributed to a reaction that occurs when salt-laden water is absorbed in the concrete and reacts with the matrix. This study examines the absorption of CaCl2 solution in mortar via neutron imaging. Mortar specimens were prepared with water to cement ratios, (w/c), of 0.36, 0.42 and 0.50 by mass and exposed to chloride solutions with concentrations ranging from 0 % to 29.8 % by mass. Depth of fluid penetration and moisture content along the specimen length were determined for 96 h after exposure. At high salt concentration (29.8 %), the sorption rate decreased by over 80 % in all samples. Along with changes in surface tension and viscosity, CaCl2 reacts with the cement paste to produce products (Friedel’s salt, Kuzel’s salt, or calcium oxychloride) that block pores and reduce absorption.
